Apple vs Banana

Apples and Bananas Are Great, But Which Do You Prefer?

"I like to eat, eat, eat, Apples and Bananas!" I loved that song as a child. I was singing with one of my nephews the other day, and I wondered which one of these were better. "An apple a day keeps the doctor away" is a well known saying for apples. I wanted to find a good saying for bananas, so I went on a search. When I came across this one from Vincent Bugliosi , it thought I should put this debatable subject up for a vote.

"This is America, not a banana republic."

It's all about apples!

Susan52 says:

"An apple a day . ." seals the deal, but so glad I don't have to choose just one!

MoonandMagic says:

I have to agree, apples I can eat anytime but I have to be in the right mood for a banana!

gtalan says:

If I could only choose one, it would have to be apples. Apples are made in America and I find them to be more energizing in the morning than a Banana. However, I'm glad I don't really have to choose in real life.

I'm bonkers for bananas!

ellagis says:

Bananas! I like their taste, not to consider the fact that they´re quicker to be unpeeled, if you cannot wash your fruit ;) (yeah, I´m a very lazy person, is it shown?)

Banana. Have you ever eaten an apple split?

mysticmama says:
