"There's always money in the banana stand."
As the return of "Arrested Development" approaches, the show's frontrunners are finding new clever ways spread the Bluth mania. Now, the coveted "Bluth's Original Frozen Banana" is making its way to the public's taste buds. Finally.
In anticipation of the new season of "Arrested Development," Netflix has launched a campaign that plans to bring the frozen banana stands to reality. On May 8, Netflix introduced the first banana stand in London and plans to unveil additional stands around the world in the final weeks leading up to the season 4 premiere. And that's not all.
The Bluth's Original Frozen Banana Stand Worldwide Tour will also feature surprise appearances from the "Arrested Development" stars. Fans hoping to catch a glimpse of their favorite characters and perhaps engage in conversation over a sweet and savory Bluth banana can follow the "Arrested Development" Twitter account for details on the stands' locations and promotional events.
The Original Bluth Frozen Banana is simply a frozen banana on a stick, dipped in chocolate and adorned with delectable nuts. It's an easy snack that has been replicated millions of times, but nothing compares to the Original Bluth Frozen Banana, of course.
One may think that Netflix is milking the "Arrested Development" name, but it simply serves as a fun way to promote the new season and engage fans. It's such an easy, simple idea that it's surprising no one thought of it sooner. It's one of the most memorable Bluth past times and must be shared with the world.
As George Bluth always says, "there's always money in the banana stand," a literal statement that the rest of the family doesn't catch on to until they accidentally burn down the stand, along with the $250,000 that line its yellow walls.
So be sure to sit down on May 26 to enjoy 15 brand new episodes of "Arrested Development," frozen banana in hand.
