    Well, the one in the stores are real bananas. They aren’t Gros Michel bananas, but that’s because Gros Michel went extinct before I was born (and I’m not exactly young anymore.) We might lose the Cavendish before I die.

    Supposedly the “banana flavor” in candy is closer to a Gros Michel than to a Cavendish.

      Also: Gros Michel bananas have slippery peels. Cavendish do not! That’s where the weird trope with no remaining connection to real life comes from.
