What?! Banana candy is not the same?! Hmmm...
I guess I'll just eat some real bananas then.
Isn't banana candy like the grossest kind of candy ever?!!
Oh, I forgot about cricket lickets and chocolate dipped ants...
And the variety of banana that you buy in the store today will most likely be extinct in 10 years.
Interesting....
Kinda weird, but the banana producers are investing millions of dollars trying to breed or engineer a new banana that tastes the same as the current banana because it's being wiped out by some weird disease.
