Before Ricky Martin was living "La Vita Loca," Carmen Miranda was living the life of bananas and tropical fruit headdresses, infusing her native Brazilian culture onto American stages and silver screens. A Hollywood icon in the 1940's and '50s, belting out tunes like "Bananas Is My Business," Ms. Miranda is still regarded as the live personification of the famous Chiquita banana logo. The original Chiquita banana jingle--first introduced in 1944 to help teach American audiences how to ripen and use bananas (at the time, still an exotic tropical fruit)--was played 376 times a day on radio stations across the US at its peak, and remains one of the most successful commercial jingles of all time.
Now cyclists can share in the whimsical fun this vibrant Chiquita Banana yellow jersey from Retro. Not only will you be able to promote one of cyclists' favorite "power foods"--portable, easily digestible, and delicious, the natural potassium found in bananas also keeps the lactic acid burning through your muscles at bay--but its bright blue and yellow color scheme will ensure you're well-seen on the road or trail.
