Ok but hold up. Banana flavoured anything does not taste like banana. It’s tastes like a variety of banana that has been extinct for half a century. Ps, bananas do not have diversity like any other fruit. There is just the one type of banana. All over the world. Any naner siblings are called something else entirely.
