Megan Fox is one of the most recognizable sex symbols of our time. The 30-year-old beauty had appeared in several roles but it wasn’t until 2007 when she was in the blockbuster movie Transformers, that she found super stardom. However before she started her acting career, you probably wouldn’t have recognized her if you saw her on a Friday.

She worked at a smoothie shop in Florida before her acting career got underway. On most days she was manning the register behind the counter, but on Friday’s she had a different job with the shop. She told Ellen DeGeneres that “Once a week, usually on Fridays, someone had to dress up as a piece of fruit and go and stand out by the highway. I was a banana, a giant banana.”

How many people drove by her as she waved at traffic in that banana suit, not knowing what was in store for her? It’s funny to think about. But if they really wanted to increase business they should have had her out on the street in a bikini waving to people going by. That would have definitely brought in more traffic than dressing her up in a banana suit.

Next time you see one of those mascots standing on the side of the road waving at you make sure you wave back. You never know who is inside of that suit or where they might end up.

Fox has been in several movies and TV shows and has been in FHM, Maxim and Rolling Stone magazines. Luckily for us, she isn’t wearing that banana suit in any of the photo shoots!
