*COOL BANANA FACT*
The reason banana flavoured stuff (sweets, angel delight, icecream etc) tastes different to actual bananas is the
flavouring is based on the taste of pre-1950's bananas, there was an apocalypse in the banana world so a new banana
was cultivated and is the one we know today.

# is that true? makes sense
And that 1950s banana (the Cavendish) is on the verge of extinction itself

# yep
Bananas are quite rubbish at being a fruit (they aren't even fruits, they're technically herbs, or the tree is,
they're even more technically a berry. plus additional fun fact, the banana tree can move around as it's roots
aren't rooted). what a world we live in eh?

# All trees can move around, they choose to do it when nobody is looking.
