- Chiquita Brands International Sàrl (/tʃɪˈkiːtə/), formerly known as Chiquita Brands International Inc., is an American producer and distributor of bananas and other produce. The company operates under a number of subsidiary brand names, including the flagship Chiquita brand and Fresh Express salads. Chiquita is the leading distributor of bananas in the United States.
The company mascot "Miss Chiquita", now Chiquita Banana, was created in 1944 by Dik Browne, who is best known for drawing the popular comic strips Hi and Lois and Hägar the Horrible.
Miss Chiquita started as an animated banana with a woman's dress and legs. Vocalist Patti Clayton was the original 1944 voice of Miss Chiquita, followed by Elsa Miranda, June Valli and Monica Lewis. Advertisements featured the trademark banana character wearing a fruit hat. The banana with a fruit hat was changed into a woman in 1987.
A new Miss Chiquita design was unveiled in 1998. Peel-off stickers with the logo started being placed on bananas in 1963. They are still placed by hand today to avoid bruising the fruit.
A commercial in 1947 with a theme song in English ended with the lyrics "si, si" emphasizing for consumers the origin of the bananas as Latin America. Another commercial featured a man of Latin descent with exaggerated stereotypical features. As times changed throughout the 1960s, so did the iconography and publications of Chiquita and their produce, of bananas.

This radiates SO much 60's
When I was in grade school, we kids sang a parody of Chiquita Banana. It went like this: "I'm Chiquita Banana and I'm here to say / If you want to trip your teacher here's the proper way. / Just peel a banana, put the peel on the floor / and watch your teacher go sailing out the door!"
That’s awesome 😂
My grade school pals and I had a version along the same lines.
and you were kicked out of kindergarten for saying that
Who would have thought that was tame compared to the company’s history lol
That's so funny 😂
Makes me kind of ill thinking of all the harm United Fruit Company caused to central and south American people. And how the US government supported it.
You mean like Apple is doing to the Uyghers?
@@jamespfitz It's despicable. We're an Oligarchy.
They got their bananas upside down…
Thanks for sharing.
I just had a chiquita banana !
I love to put them in my cereal and ice cream
Why did I remember Chiquita Banana as being a person? Lol I know that makes no sense considering her name is literally Chiquita Banana, but I remembered it as being a person
It is because Chiquita Banana character is inspired on Carmen Miranda, a Brazilian samba singer from the 1950's.
I envy the people who got to live in this time period.
also those who worked on the banana plantations in south america, or were not white, or were not man?
@@p.w.5813 IT was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Someone, somewhere is always suffering. I would hope one of the goals of mankind is to make that as minimal as possible.
My parents did.

Well, lemme see. I was born in '52...oh wait for it...here in the south...here in the states. Argh! No, say it ain't so. Oh God I had to live through all those horrible days of women being barefoot and pregnant (meaning they had yet to discover their "equality" with men and hadn't started dumping their oh so cute little babies off at, you know, daycare). And I lived on side of the tracks and all those black folks lived on the other and hell, the only time we ever even bumped into each other was Saturday, you know, everybody out shopping. And it was a fascinating thing to see, all them men...both black and white...holding the doors for the ladies...both black and white. And they would chit-chat with each other for a moment or two before getting on with their days.
And nope, didn't know much about, and cared even less, about who was doing what pretty much anywhere else in the world.
But here I am in 2022 and...all those people who might would have been workin' on them banana plantations...back then...are now...yes, what is it they are doing now? Oh, yes, that's right: Coming to THIS country to...to work...or is it to get all all that free money and stuff from the government?
And how has it all played out, you know, with mommy AND daddy both working, you know, leaving them chillins to be raised by teachers in the public school system? Well, for that matter, how many chillins actually have a mommy AND daddy these days? I mean, why should they when there is oh so much more money to be had...by being a single mom?
And all that legal segregation ended and...and here we are in 2022. And I ain't seeing much "happy" these days from...anyone...black or white.
So yeah, send me back to the '50s. People were indeed simply "nicer" to each other. But no, being "nice" stopped meaning anything at all, now didn't it, not when all of life is about "equality" and "equity" and "fairness" and the size of bank accounts.
But it is interesting that you failed to mention to what happened in those countries south of the border to make those people who live there want to get the hell off those planatations in the first place.
Wait. Silly me. I have to remind myself that this is the only shit-hole of a country on the planet. Anywhere/everywhere else simply must be better...which still leaves me trying to figure out why there is always a bunch of "them" wanting to come "here" and not many of "us" busting our asses to move "there".
@@p.w.5813 Inflation was pretty much balanced, UNLIKE Nowadays.
I love❤ bananas
Does anyone know who the female vocalist is? My boy of 18 thinks it sound like Betty Hutton. Heard a song by her in the game Fallout
Actually, Chiquita Banana character is inspired on that famous Brazilian samba singer called Carmen Miranda. Look for her videos.
Do we really get a choice of bananas? When I go to Ralph's it might be Chiquita, or it might be Joe Schmoe Bananas. They all taste the same to me. Sometimes there are organic bananas, but I think those taste the worst.
Almost all bananas sold in stores are Cavendish banana, and all Cavendish bananas are perfect clones of each other, so from a genetic standpoint it's impossible for them to taste any differently. There could be environmental variations caused by different harvesting times, and different amount of rainfall, but without environmental differences all Cavendish bananas should taste identical. Cavendish bananas are under danger of extinction right now due to a dangerous fungus called TR4 that affects them, and while there is a genetically modified Cavendish that resists the TR4 fungus, many countries prohibit genetically modified bananas. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panama_disease
@@TheNameOfJesus Yes. If one remembers biology, it's diversity means stability. Agribusiness often concentrates on one type of almost everything. If something wipes out that one type of banana, pea, pineapple, etc., it could mean the end of that product.
Cavendish 🍌
Hello from Taft or taffy
C'mon, folks, must EVERYTHING be politicized?????
It already is, ignoring it doesn't stop it. We're all just tiny cogs in a giant system of exploitation where a few people get obscenely wealthy off the backs of suffering
