All these years, we've been told that bananas were good in-match fuel for athletes. They're loaded with potassium. They'll keep you from cramping. Now the truth rears its ugly head.

Spaniard Rafael Nadal has been untouchable on clay, putting together (at the time of this posting) a DiMaggio-esque 56-match winning streak on dirt. But that dominant run was nearly waylaid by a piece of fruit, as Nadal literally almost choked away a French Open win. In the process, he revealed Miss Chiquita for the foul temptress that she is.

(Note to banana industry: Really don't have any problem with bananas per se. Just wanted the opportunity to call Miss Chiquita a "foul temptress" on the Internet.)
