Yes, a literal banana.

We all have a spare mason jar lying around.

Verdict: A big win. Just let it dry for a few minutes, and boom, custom candle holder or vase.

5. Flip-Flops 

Because why not customize your sandals?

Verdict: The ink stayed strong, even on rubber. You might need a clear coat for longevity, but it looked amazing.
