Despicable Me 2 Talking Dave Minion Banana Babbler McDonalds Happy Meal Toy #3
A buyer posted a question in the answer centre about cancelling payment/purchase along the way I got a chuckle from one
sellers description.....
"kids' movies often seem to have what could be considered double entendre lines
... So what is this ??? double entendre or unintentional and just my overactive dirty mind
Brand New, Sealed in Package!
Talking Dave Minion Banana Babbler
2013 Despicable Me 2 McDonald's Happy Meal Toy #3
When you pull Dave's Banana he babbles,
"Hehe Ho Banana, Oohh Banana!"
(The banana has to be pulled and held for Dave to complete the phrase.)

The OP has NOTHING to do with the movie. It is about advertising,

The OP is about advertising for sale a toy from a movie. If people here have seen the movie/ are familiar with it, then they know why the minion critter toy is holding a banana.
The OP asks double entredre or dirty mind. I choose the latter.

and I choose the former as I have not seen the movie and will not be.
However I have read the Mcdonalds advertising and the instructions to pull the banana and that banana needs to be held so the
minion utters
"ooh oh banana oh banana" like many I have not got a clue what a minion is
.... google choke the chicken and despicable me 2.... coincidence????....

People will always see the same things differently.. such is life.
As one of the other posters mentioned if there is some words/phrase on the packet for the Macca's toy, the packet will be discarded if the toy is given to a young child to play with.
If a parent buys the toy from an ebay seller with a double entredres in their description, the young child won't see/ be reading that.
To the child it will simply be a minnion critter toy holding a banana that talks.. same as in a movie they most likely would have seen if they have been wanting that particular toy.

Seems to me the Marketing Team for this product have earned their pay this week.
They've got a few people talking about the product and before this thread, I'd never heard of a minion in this context, Dave, the movie OR his banana....
