The Resume

    (1944-March 18, 2002)
    Created in 1944 by artist, Dik Browne
    'I'm Chiquita Banana, and I'm here to say, eat a banana every day'
    Spokesbanana for Chiquita
    Originally portrayed by Elsa Miranda in 1945-46 for public appearances
    Picture is Elizabeth Testa (50th anniversary - 1994)

Why she might be annoying:

    She is the spokesbanana for the United Fruit Company, which has a history of creating central american wars, antitrust, bribery, and other misdeeds (Cincinnati Enquirer May 3, 1998).
    Banana's have a short shelf life and quickly go rotten.

Why she might not be annoying:

    The Cincinnati Enquirer apologized to Chiquita and offered a $10 million settlement, however nowhere in the apology does it deny the information's validity.
    Bananas are an excellent source of potassium (if chicks aren't using them for pleasure).
