("Top Banana"), real estate agent, and creator of the International Banana Club, started collecting banana-related paraphernalia in 1972. He now has "the world's largest collection devoted to any one fruit," located in Hesperia, California. I want to join the club just so I can whip an International Banana Club Card out of my wallet whenever I feel like it. Watch the video after the jump....

None of these are even real Peeps flavors. We had to order one of the intriguing sticks. Peeps Lip Balm FAQ Does it taste like melted Peeps spread all over your lips? A little.
