It’s the simplest of ideas – but a man who brings bananas to life with drawn-on faces and customised personalities is set to make his first $100,000.

Davonte Wilson of Plano, Texas is the brains behind Bananas Gone Wild – a fruit firm with a difference.

Davonte creates customised bananas for $10 each, and brings them to life in his apartment (not literally, that would be terrifying) using a variety of glitter, fake beards and other resources.

He first thought of the idea while working in a hospital as an electrocardiogram technician – where he became known for drawing faces on bananas.

Davonte says that some workers even ‘made fun’ of his hobby – but he’s now having the last laugh after claiming that his business is projected to make more than $100,000.

We’re not entirely surprised at this – as they’re all pretty damn impressive.

Describing the overwhelming response to the idea, Davonte said: ‘I’m in shock that you can just take something so simple and introduce it into the world and people love it.’

As are we. Bonkers, but brilliant. Sign us up.
