The Chiquita banana girl

After posting yesterdays entry I started thinking of the real women with the hat made out of fruits, The chiquita banana girl.

tried to find a picture of her as i remembered her and got more and more curious over this character. I found some great and funny commercials of chiquita banana from the 40′s, 50′s and 90′s!

I hadn’t ever seen the 40′s version of her were she’s a banana singing overly informative songs while dancing seductively :D. I definately prefer the 40′s-50′s version of her, the 90s version (the one I was familiar with) is so boring compared to her. And what’s going on in the 90′s video? Is it supposed to be Michael Jacksons foot that they cut in now and then? Did that give it awesome-points back then? :D As an old Michael Jackson fan it probably would have impressed me actually.. ^^.

Hope you’re as fascinated by chiquita as I am, enjoy!

By the way, In the 50′s commercial she sings of putting bananas in a sallad(?), I’ve never seen a salad with bananas in it, have you?
