To Get Younger Consumers to Go Bananas, a Design Contest

Since 1963, the Chiquita banana has been branded with the same sticker, FOX61 tells us. That’ll change in November, when bananas nationwide will wear 18 new designs developed by consumers.

The Times reported 1,355 entries in the contest, which allowed participants to make designs using the “EatAChiquita drag ‘n’ drop Sticker Studio.”
