Despite the knife pictured above, that’s not a pair of scallions atop an iPhone, that’s actually a 3D green onion case (by the way, “despite the knife” would make a great band name). The iMeshi series of iPhone 5 cases really take a love of food and put it out there for all to see. Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t see the point of a case that’s so much larger than the phone… bananaphone anyone?
Too small for a banana, too large for a case. But don’t worry carnivores, it’s not just restricted to fruits and veggies. Why here’s a bacon and egg case.
Actually that one’s not really too bad. And I’m not just saying that because it’s bacon- it’s because it’s flatter AND because it’s bacon. Bacon really does make everything better. Sushi anyone?
Don’t quote me on this but I believe that dipping your iPhone in soy sauce voids the warranty. Stick with just the wasabi. These weird food cases sell for about $40, imported from (you guessed it) Japan, if you’re really interested. Are you?

Ring Ring Ring Banana iPhone
From the “only in Japan” files comes the iPhone 5 banana case. It may look like you’re a fool talking into a banana but no, you will just be a fool talking into a banana case phone. Totally different things. This might be completely impractical…unless you have very large pockets. But don’t worry, this large fruit case is actually available for anyone to buy here on eBay just in case you’re looking to put your iPhone 5 in a ridiculously oversized silicone case. (via foodbeast)
Bananaphone touch synthesizer replaces ring ring rings with chiptunes (video)
If you're tired of bananaphones that just make calls, the crew at Gadget Gangster now has a homebrew project to use them for musical escapades. A custom-coded (and appropriately named) Adafruit Propeller board turns a bunch of bananas into the Bananaphone TouchSynth, a synthesizer using the same capacitive touch principles that let a MaKey MaKey turn anything into a controller. The project as it's built won't be rocking stadium-sized crowds anytime soon -- not with those beeps and that lone speaker -- but there's nothing stopping it from scaling up to bigger sounds. Just remember that your fresh beats will turn very brown within a few days.
