What happened when two fruit companies merged in humor?

When Dole and Chiquita merged, they decided to call their new company Doquita. Their slogan? "We're bananas for you."

Bonus:

* The new logo was a banana with a big, toothy grin.

* Their biggest competitor, Del Monte, was so shocked they just sat there, speechless, for a whole week.

Another:

The merger was so successful, it inspired a new line of fruit-themed jokes:

* "Why did the banana cross the road? To get to the other *side*."

* "What's the difference between a banana and a piano? You can't *peel* a piano."

These are just a few ways to inject humor into the topic. The key is to find a funny angle and keep the tone light and playful.
