Did anyone else play this game as a child? Or with your children currently?
A bunch of bananas typically has a little sticker (Chiquita or Dole or whatever) on one of the bananas. You take the sticker off, stick it on somebody else and proclaim "You're a banana!" and run away. It's basically just playing tag, I guess, but more funny because you get to make your family members be bananas.

No. But I did used to stick the stickers on my little brother, who would burst out crying until after my mom stormed in and sent me to my room, then immediately dry his tears and grin evilly. *sigh*

I was born in the days before bananas. We had to use the yellow dye packages from margarine to "mark" our siblings.

No, our version was to see how many stickers we could get on our sister before she noticed. Our best was 23 before my mom noticed the pile of banana peels. Needless to say, we got incredibly sick, it being just three of us playing/eating.

I don't remember doing the banana sticker thing, but I did have fun putting price stickers on people. "Guess what? You're only $1.99!" Random pieces of spike tape are also enjoyable.

Ah, when my little one was little, he only wanted to eat the banana that had the sticker on it. I would sometimes get extra stickers so that every one in the bunch had one. He would peel off the sticker and stick it on his tummy and proudly proclaim "I'm a banana!"
Then he would go to his room and add the banana sticker to the collection that he had on the wall -- a record of every banana he had ever eater -- and been.

And then, after someone sticks the sticker on you, you have to sing the Chiquita banana song! At least, if you're Mom you do.

I went on an LDS mission to Honduras, and my first area was a seaport on the Caribbean coast. Dole had a large facility there, and a lot of people in my area worked for that company. A lot of Dole stickers were in circulation, and it became a game to collect as many as possible, especially as they came in a huge variety.
