The monopoly that supplies most bananas to the "western" world has long been known to be a murderous corrupt corp? That's the one major drawback to that chewy sweet banana fiber.

What do you mean zero cleanup? Now I have to carry around a banana peel all day. All hail apples (yes, I eat the core).

They tend to go extinct every so often and need a different variety to replace them.

Bad thing: banana Republic. Other than that... 100% legit.

Look up the history of the banana trade.

Banana smell is so powerful if you leave a banana in the fridge over night any unprotected food will taste like a banana

I have some bad news about bananas. The current strain we use as food is going extinct as the banana trees are ill and dying out. Luckily we're already changing a different strain to be ready for consumption (making them bigger and without seeds because yes, wild bananas are full of seeds).

Also cocoa plants are ill and dying and we don't have a different strain. So some time in the future we will be without chocolate.

Also you harvest them every two weeks. Want to sell them already? Just stick them under a plastic carp for a couple of days and they'll be ripe and yellow.

The bad part is loading trucks of bananas is hard work, those things are heavy.

Easy. The taste and the texture. Awful.

I like how the person is placing a banana to show scale/size.

Honeybee alarm pheromone smells exactly like bananas.

If you're a beekeeper you either already know about it or can test it. Just make sure you're in a bee suit, they will attack you.
