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

Look up the history of the banana trade.

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.

The new banana isn't as sweet as the old banana and the old one doesn't seem to be coming back?

Easy. The taste and the texture. Awful.

Bananas can replace egg when baking desserts. 34 grams of banana per one egg is perfect btw.

Bananas are way overrated. Not nearly as much potassium as potatoes. As far as fruits go, they are lower fiber, high sugar (aka the not good kind of carbs).

And you know how they turn brown quickly after being exposed to air? That process virtually eliminates the absorption of any sources of antioxidants that it might be mixed with. Like adding bananas to your smoothies? If you were hoping for health benefits, you just wasted your money.

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.

They automatically come with a sense of scale.
