There are few fruits that vary so much in size and shape as does the banana. Has anyone actually suggested using that as a standard for anything?

Some online communities use "banana for scale".

Other communities talk about radiation risk in terms of radiotion you get from a banana.

It's about as useful as double-decker buses or football fields.

The banana used for such measurements is your typical grocery store banana.
I hear well made bananas are also useful for terrorizing atheists. [1] Something about how they don't squirt in your face.
