Yes, THAT banana

I made the internet's favourite fruit.

Back in 1999, on an AMD K6-2 running at a screaming 350MHz, I made a little dancing banana GIF. It became Peanut Butter Jelly Time, it cameo'd in Family Guy, and it's been bouncing across the internet ever since.

The full story — the remixes, the FAQ, and how to license the banana (spoiler: not for your crypto coin) — lives on its own page.
