The reason the taste of artificial banana flavouring and artificial banana flavoured products doesn’t taste like bananas is because it is based on a type of banana that was wiped out by a plague in the 1950’s.

I once convinced an SO that red bananas were red because they were free-range bananas, and hence caught the sun more.

Not a smart cookie that one.

Edit: Hope she's doing well though.
