From the name, it will be easy to guess what this toy is all about. Leave it to Japan to come up with something like this--this is Epoch's new toy, the Endless Banana which you could peel, unpeel, and peel all over again. Repeat ad nauseum. It stemmed from a recent trend called "morning banana diet" that's supposedly responsible for bananas flying off the shelves in Japan. Endless Banana is one of those "infinite toys" that seem to be popping up lately.
What's really, really odd about the Endless Banana (other than the fact that it does nothing else but mimic a banana) is that voice actress Saki Fujita was contracted to make the sounds the toy gives out when you peel it. Thanks to a commenter in kilian-nakamura, we won't have to be left wondering what those sounds are. The basic sound emitted would be "peron," although to add a bit of flavor, Saki Fujita recorded different versions of "peron" using an idiotic tone, a combative tone, a child's voice, and a sexy voice. And you'd think bananas are boring.
