23. The Banana Phone
What if your phone calls could be made through a literal banana? The Banana Phone is a real Bluetooth device shaped like a curved yellow fruit. It connects to your smartphone and lets you make calls “a-peel-ingly.” Launched on Indiegogo, it quickly hit its funding goal and went viral.
Part comedy gadget, part legit accessory, the Banana Phone tapped into nostalgia, absurdity, and millennial meme culture. What helped was its clean design and the fact that a portion of sales went to gorilla conservation. It was the ultimate example of blending charity, tech, and silliness in one fruit-shaped fundraiser.
