Why Banana Flavoring Doesn't Taste Like REAL Bananas.

You've always known banana-flavored candy tastes different from real bananas. What if I told you it's because that artificial flavor perfectly matches a banana that's now EXTINCT? This isn't just a quirky food fact; it's a wild story about a delicious banana called the Gros Michel (aka "Big Mike") that dominated the world market before the 1960s. It was sweeter, creamier, and had no strings – basically, a candy-like banana that food scientists perfectly captured in artificial flavorings. But Big Mike had a fatal flaw: it was a genetic clone, leaving it vulnerable to a deadly fungus called Panama Disease. Discover how this silent epidemic wiped out the world's favorite banana, forcing the industry to pivot to the inferior (but fungus-resistant) Cavendish banana we eat today. The unsettling part? We're repeating history. The Cavendish is now facing its own threat from a new strain of the same fungus. This video unpacks the fascinating, forgotten history of our favorite fruit and serves as a stark warning about the fragility of our global food chain.
