Lets go Bananas; Different Fruits and their Corresponding Puns.

This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Skidmore chapter.

Have you ever been eating a fruit on a normal day, and wondered what pun could be made out of the name of said fruit? I know that I sure have. Well, you no longer have to wonder, for the fruit gods have spoken. Your fruit pun heaven begins here, and the puns are italicized for extra emphasis and cringe.
