		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m writing this, literally, from the chair at the dentist&#8217;s office, where I just received six shots of novacaine as prep for treatment of an abscess. So? Well, to make the needle feel less piquant, the usual procedure is to swab the gums with a numbing gel. As soon as the cotton swab got close, I detected the aroma of banana (ok, fake banana.) The taste was roughly akin to the same flavor of Laffy Taffy, which is to say absolutely FUNSGUSTING! It turns out that the product comes in tons of flavors. My doc also has cherry and choco-mint. The hygienist was kind enough to angle the exam light while I snapped this pic. Here comes the boss. He&#8217;s totally baffled. As the procedure begins, he asks me if I believe in God. No kidding. Update: Made it home alive. Apparently, the dental world is lousy with flavored anesthetic gels. Dozens of brands, dozens of palate-pleasing varieties. I&#8217;m almost tempted to throw a party&#8230;the featured product of which would have to be the pina-colada flavored salve offered as part of the Harry J.

		<description><![CDATA[Spending the week in the great north country of New Hampshire and saw this sign adorning the entrance to a convenience store. No bananas of any kind inside, though. &#8220;We sold &#8216;em for 79 cents each, and you could buy a whole pound for that at the IGA down the street,&#8221; the clerk told me. It had been months since a Chiquita delivery.The competition from the Dunkin&#8217; Donuts &#8211; same price at the same location &#8211; couldn&#8217;t have helped much.

		<description><![CDATA[112 Ninth Ave., two guys who love candy. Yes, I&#8217;m on vacation. There&#8217;s some real banana news &#8211; World Trade Organization stuff &#8211; but you can go ahead and click this preloaded Google news search for more info (the global tariff battles on bananas have been going on for years, and will last longer than mine &#8211; and your &#8211; next ten holidays. I promise. I&#8217;m off for a while longer.)]]></description>
