Content: According to Wikipedia, “Banana bread first became a standard feature of American cookbooks with the popularization of baking soda and baking powder in the 1930s. It appeared in Pillsbury’s 1933 Balanced Recipes cookbook, and later gained more acceptance with the release of the original Chiquita Banana’s Recipe Book in 1950.” Chiquita Brand Bananas worked hard to cultivate a strong relationship with consumers early. Chiquita developed entertaining and effective methods of advertising and promotion. In fact, Chiquita was the first produce brand of any kind to advertise to consumers. In 1944 a lively, and perhaps the most successful jingle to date was produced to educate consumers on eating and storing bananas, along with the jingle the iconic “Miss Chiquita” character was introduced. Later, Chiquita added recipe booklets to their advertisement and consumer education plan. The release of the original Chiquita Banana’s Recipe Book in 1950, is credited with making banana bread mainstream, but it also offered some creative concoctions for those with an adventurous palate such as ham banana rolls, banana fritters, and banana scallops.
