St Mirren Banana

Does anyone else remember the story in the mid to late 80s that at Paisley College of Technology, they created a St Mirren Banana, I remember the photos in various papers and a feature on the Reporting Scotland about it, basically what it was like was that the skin was still yellow but when you peeled it back, the banana fruit itself was in black and white stripes.

I heard it was the TOP Banana story in that days paper narrowly edging out the story of the man who sailed up the Clyde in a widely eaten type of fruit boat.
