Hello all,
I am translating an advertisement to promote bananas as a healthy snack to children and teenagers.
Could I say something like:
Why not go bananas today ?
Or is the idiom so linked up with going crazy that the literal reference to the bananas is completely lost ?
The ad wants to convince the teenagers that bananas will not make them fat.
Do teenagers talk about 'getting fat', or is there a better way to put this ?
It's all about being subtle ...
Greetings,
Hilde
