More fun facts! The yellow banana we buy today is the Cavendish Banana, which is similar to, but not the same as the Gros Michel banana that was popular years ago (which was decimated by a blight). This is why banana candy doesn't taste like the bananas we eat today. This is also where the trope of slipping on a banana peel came from, since Gros Michel peels are much slipperier than Cavendish peels.

TIL
Knew about the flavour thing, but not about it being slippier.
I am highly sceptical about the slippery thing. Seems like it could be a good deception, hiding among weird facts...
