Ahahah, banana runts were the bane of my childhood candy.

Now, banana pudding, banana bread, banana sundae? That's some good stuff.

 

[BadHand]

Banana good on it's own? Oh yes, but how bout a pizza topping?

Unlike pineapple, which tends to cause riots around these parts, I think the answer is pretty clear on this one...

Spoiler

Or is it?

Needs a Nutella sauce base.

 

[TimorousPanda]

Not a banana fan. I think it might be the texture.

 

[Nakho]

Banana bread is the GOAT bread. I approve of this thread.

 

[LoveCake]

foam bananas Mmm MMM mmm

What about these?

 

[styl3s]

No one wants banana Runts.

Banana Runts is my favorite of the Runts followed up with Strawberry and Orange. Rest of the Runts can piss off.

Also, Banana Laffy Taffy is the best.

 

[miku]

Banana is great. Not my first choice though.

 

[Salmonax]

Don't love all things banana, but banana bread + fromage blanc is the alpha and omega.

 

[Pejo]

Raw banana is the only good banana. Banana flavoring is the worst thing. Proof: banana Runts.

*edit* - Wow, just saw that several fine people have already spoken out against the pox on candy that is banana Runts. Good job GAF.

 

[Pinko Marx]

GATLYKE.

 

[Earthstrike]

Both chocolate milk and strawberry milk are superior to banana milk, therefore you are wrong.

 

[Roubjon]

Don't get me started on artificial banana. It's my favorite artificial flavor by far. I remember these soft banana flavored candies that I had when I was a kid and I always wanted to find them again.

 

[Shokifer]

Are you insane.

Bananas will only ever be acceptable on their own and in the appropriate circumstances. My Dad puts them in his muesli and i'm pretty sure in a sandwich once. Makes me gag just thinking about it.

All banana flavouring does is ruin fruitellas.

 

[OEM]

Not a fan of banana so no.

Though I like Banana Muffin, Bread
Mango milkshake
Orange juice
Pineapple ice cream
Strawberry yogurt

Etc. Etc.

 

[CrunchyFrog]

My hatred for banana flavored runts is only matched by my hatred for green apple flavored anything. Actual bananas though are the best fuckin thing ever yall are idiots.

 

[rogue74]

Bananas are my favorite fruit. A natural banana milkshake is amazing.

Artificial banana flavor is another matter though.

 

[Garcia el Gringo]

Bananas are the best fruit indeed. Banana whip from an ice cream shop in Princeton called The Bent Spoon is my new love.

 

[Lovely Salsa]

Banana milkshake mmm....

whatever happened to gainomax banana flavor? Realized they were hypocrites with their ad? Bananas are for monkeys?

 

[big_z]

Bananas are the only fruit that can stimulate your prostate and provide you a tasty treat afterwards. The best fruit.

 

[Spinluck]

Wrong ice cream OP

This right here is the best banana based ice cream.

 

[Jpop]

Raw banana is the only good banana. Banana flavoring is the worst thing. Proof: banana Runts.

It's artificial vs natural flavoring

 

[neogaffer1]

Banana is my favorite fruit, but I fucking hate eating it just as a fruit but love it as a part of nearly everything. Banana bread, ice cream, pancakes, pudding, etc., it's all great

Wrong ice cream OP

This right here is the best banana based ice cream.

This looks fucking amazing. I need this.

 

[Monocle]

Artificial banana flavor is absolute ass.

Couldn't agree more. I've always found it disgusting.

 

[GhostWriter24]

I ate a banana just now

"Peel Peel Munch Munch Munch"

Jesus fucking Christ.

 

[Pinko Marx]

"Peel Peel Munch Munch Munch"

Jesus fucking Christ.

Whats the problem? Seems like an accurate description to me.

 

[Red Liquorice]

Spoiler

Or is it?

I'd give this a try. I think it needs chilli peppers on it though to counter the sweetness of the bananas. I can imagine them just being drowned out by the tomato sauce and it just feeling a little more claggy than usual when eating.

 

[Shokifer]

Death and destruction await you all.

 

[marimorimo]

I love banana. The REAL fruit.

Artificial banana flavoring tastes gross.

 

[Garuroh]

people hate banana? is this a white people thing?

 

[Chanser]

You are not wrong OP.

 

[FiddyShadeJ]

Not a fan of artificial banana flavors but actual bananas are bros. They're fun and easy to eat and they fit up the butt ok.

 

[Clockwork]

I love bananas and banana bread is probably one of my favorite things in the entire world, but I really can't stand anything else banana flavored (real or fake).

 

[Chanser]

Love this.

 

[Shaffield]

wow so much banana hate
the artificial banana flavor sucks but real banana flavor is great. this bakery in atlanta used to make these incredible banana whoopie pies and if you tried one i think you would change your mind about bananas. bananas. bananas.

No one wants banana Runts.

no one wants any runts

 

[oreomunsta]

Banana is the GOAT of fruits. Well done, OP

 

[MattKeil]

Artificial banana flavor is absolute ass.

One and done. Just today my gf wanted to buy some banana flavored thing at the supermarket and I said she was on her own. Banana flavor is vile. Real banana or gtfo.

 

[inked_illusion]

I'm pretty sure you meant Strawberry OP, cause artificial strawberry flavoring is king of all fruit flavors. Also, Strawberries are pretty godlike as fruits.

 

[Currygan]

banana candy is fucking shit

like, strawberry all the way

 

[BlueTsunami]

Banana flavoring can be subtle, which is good. Banana runts are up there with black licorice though. Disgusting.

I love those frozen chocolate dipped banana pieces. I can pop em like skittles.

 

[DOWN]

Did anyone already mention the fact that artificial Banana flavor is based on a different, largely out of production variety of banana than the kind we eat now? Was a revelation to me

 

[Treefrog]

Banana runts are the best runts.

Best shape and best flavor.

The best.

 

[akira28]

bananas foster ice cream is the shit.

 

[Magwik]

I'm only posting in this thread to make note that I keep scrolling by it and misreading it as Batman

 

[-MD-]

Bananas are so fucking good.

 

[TheBear]

BEHOLD

 

[BlueTsunami]

BEHOLD

H...holy fuck

 

[adamsappel]

I love eating bananas, food with bananas as an ingredient, even plantains and red bananas, but I also like artificial banana flavoring, because it doesn't taste like real bananas. I loved the banana-flavored Now & Laters as a kid. I find peach to be the least successful artificial flavor.

That's very interesting that it's trying to emulate a different strain. With bananas being a precarious clone of one plant, they don't get a lot of taste variety. When I was a kid, there was still a vestigial streak of seeds down the center. My mom told me that in her day, they actually had seeds you would scoop away.

 

[Switch Back 9]

This thread is gross. You people are sick.

 

[GhaleonEB]

Wonka candy banana flavor is absolute gold.

I really like the banana runts. More than most actual banana dishes.

 

[Kenai]

Real bananas are pretty good but banana flavoring is just ok.

The real answer is vanilla. Not only is it great on its own, but half (at least) of the things you listed would be a mess without vanilla holding it together. The ice cream, the baked goods, the pudding,, the smoothies and other drinks, ect.

Vanilla is god tier.
