The International Banana Club and Museum
After 38 years heading up the International Banana Club and Museum, Ken "Bananister" Bannister (the collection's founder and declared top banana) has been asked by the town of Hesperia, Calif., to split. The community was apparently tired of his museum's monkey business and wanted to use the rent-free space for the artifacts of John Swisher, a local historian. Luckily for this Chiquita, Bannister has found a new location for his collection and will be reopening the museum near Palm Springs, Calif., in January 2011.

Doctor on Call
O.K., hindsight is 20/20, and when this ad was created in 1946, the link to lung cancer wasn't totally set in stone. But the curator of the exhibition, Dr. Robert Jackler, not incidentally the chair of the department of otolaryngology, head and neck surgery at the Stanford University School of Medicine, still thinks it egregious. "The ads were intended to reassure a worried public about a product even known back then as 'coughin' nails,' " he says. What's more reassuring than the small-town doctor? "The response of the organized medical community was to do nothing, because the ads showed doctors looking wise," adds Jackler. (Note the unintended irony in "Camels: Costlier Tobaccos.")
