Bobby Banana – Global Healthy Eating Icon
Bobby Banana was introduced in the 1990’s as the healthy-living, happy-go-lucky mascot of Dole Food Company, and is dedicated to rallying kids to live healthier lifestyles and diets rich in fresh fruits and vegetables.


The 7-foot unpeeled DOLE® Banana is more than just a fruit; with his bright yellow skin and ever-present smile, he's a symbol of vitality, happiness, and wellness to audiences of all ages, embodying the essence of wholesome living and nutritious choices. Whether he's leading a dance party to get kids moving or sharing delicious smoothie recipes, Bobby’s playful antics and boundless enthusiasm inspire people to embrace fruits and vegetables as the foundation of a balanced diet.
In 2024, in honor of Dole’s 125th Banana-versary, Bobby was honored with a special display at the National Mascot Hall of Fame in Whiting Ind., 30 miles south of Chicago, from June through September.
