I think we've had a discussion before about the origins of the banana... I've always associated it with technophile/loinburger for some reason anyway.
I'm pretty sure it's much older than that fruit poll anyway, because as far as I remember, that was around the time MrFun had his strawberry rebellion against the reign of the banana.

I recall we had polls on UBB and someone did a "what is your favorite special?" poll and Fruit was left off the list. This led to people including Banana as an option in other polls, etc.(\__/) Save a bunny, eat more Smurf!

As I recall, banana first made its appearance in a poll as a semi-serious option in response to the question: What will cause the EU and US to go to war? or something like that. It was during the trade war involving bananas, so it was a semi-serious option."The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists."

Very true. It evolved out of Roland's trade dsipute thread, and appeared almost with the first ubb polls.
Although there WERE polls before ubb, just made 'manually'."Wait a minute..this isn''t FAUX dive, it's just a DIVE!"
