Stranana

A delicious hybrid fruit stemming from the genetic makeup of Strawberries and Bananas. Its outward appearance is that of a regular Banana with a pinkish hue. When you peel back the skin, you are met with an ingenious blend that looks like a Strawberry but has the texture of a Banana and tastes like both. Made by crossing Strawberries, Bananas, and electricity, you'll have nothing short of an orgasm in your mouth when you try Strananas. SIDEFFECTS: You should stop eating strananas and seek medical attention if you experience any of the following: fever, itchy eyes, rash, upset stomach, flu like symptoms, shivers, blurred vision, perfuse sweating, diarrhea, nausea, indigestion, hearing loss (temporary or permanent), hallucinations, loss of one or many teeth, chronic nose bleeds, blindness, anal discharge, an erection lasting more than eight hours, numbness in extremities, loss of consciousness, heart failure, cardiac arrest, minor coma, narcolepsy, epilepsy, paranoia, slight to mild retardation, parkinsense disease, leukemia, brain tumors, liver failure, kidney failure, or sudden loss of life. NOTE: The FDA has not yet approved this product for use by any individuals other than those on death row.
