Peel and re-peel this banana

Popping bubble wrap, squeezing peas out of a pod, ripping open paper packages. There are crazy gadgets out of Japan that simulate all those actions, and now there's one more--peeling a banana. Japanese company Epoch has made a new toy, the Endless Banana, which lets you peel a plastic banana as many times as you like. It has even gotten voice actress Saki Fujita (pictured above) to record the sound of a banana being peeled. If that sounds absolutely ridiculous to you, well, to be honest, it is. But we've a good feeling that you want to try one out right now, don't you? This product isn't available just yet, but should be later in the year. So ask your friends who are traveling to Japan for year-end holidays to look out for one.
