    Well obvoiusly a banana will taste different after a few years, it'll probably taste rotten though. I wouldnt reccomend leaving your bananas somewhere for a few years before eating them.

      This one's actually a myth, sort of. Artificial banana flavour is created with isoamyl acetate because it tastes a bit like banana (being a major component of bananas) and it's cheap, but it wasn't explicitly based on Gros Michel. That said, however, Gros Michel, being sweeter than Cavendish, does taste more similar to sweets flavoured with isoamyl acetate than Cavendish does.

      I think it's a job for us home growers, because the big companies won't take a risk. If we grow out bananas in our yards and create more varieties, there's be new ones to try. We can afford to fail in our own yards.

    "There are over 1,000 different varieties of bananas, about half of which are inedible."
    These are the top 10:
    1. Cavendish Banana
    The Cavendish banana is your “typical” banana found at the local grocery store or farmer’s market. They are slightly sweet and have a creamy texture. They have various stages of ripening, from green to yellow, to yellow with brown spots. They’re grown all across Central America, and their production is essential to the economies in these areas.
    2. Pisang Raja
    Pisang Raja bananas are popular in Indonesia. Featuring a yellow to orange color, they taste like honey-flavored custard with a smooth and creamy consistency. They’re slightly smaller than Cavendish Bananas, averaging four to six inches in length.
    3. Red Banana
    As their name suggests, red bananas have a reddish-purple skin. They have light pink colored flesh and are much sweeter and softer than Cavendish bananas. They also have a slight raspberry flavor that makes them absolutely irresistible.
    4. Lady Finger Banana
    Lady Finger bananas, also known as baby bananas, are sweeter and smaller than Cavendish bananas. They’re usually around three inches in length and feature a creamy texture and sweet flavor with notes of honey.
    5. Blue Java Banana
    Blue Java bananas are also known as the ice cream banana due to their sweet vanilla flavor and extreme creaminess. They feature a beautiful blue peel and a white flesh. They’re actually pretty hardy and can grow in colder regions.
    6. Plantain
    Plantains are a subgroup of bananas that are referred to as cooking bananas. They have a high starch content and are typically used in savory dishes. They aren’t typically consumed raw. They’re a food staple in West and Central Africa, the Caribbean islands, and Central America.
    7. Manzano Banana
    The Manzano Banana is sweeter than Cadvendish bananas with a hint of crunchy apple-strawberry flavor. They’re grown in Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Mexico. They’re short and chubby with think yellow skins that turn black when fully ripe.
    8. Burro Banana
    Burro bananas have a lemony and tangy taste, which makes them one of the most unique types of bananas. They have a flatter, smaller and more square shape than Cavendish bananas. The flesh is creamy white or yellow and is soft with some firmness in the center.
    9. Barangan Banana
    Yellow with small black dots, the Barangan banana has a sweet, mild taste. The flesh is white with no seeds. It’s a popular variety and is eaten as a dessert in many regions across the tropics.
    10. Goldfinger Banana
    The Goldfinger banana was first grown in Honduras by a team of scientists as a pest-resistant banana. It can be cooked when green and eaten raw once fully ripe. It’s similar to the Cavendish banana, with its eventual aim to replace the more susceptible-to-disease variety.

      As Ronaldo G. said, the logistics probably play a large role - if it decreases corporate profits it isn't gonna happen. But another potential contributor is that the tastes and expectations of people have adapted to the Cavendish variety. I heard somewhere a few years ago that the artificial bananas flavor (ex: banana Laffy Taffy) which a lot of people myself included don't like, is based off the Gros Michel. But it's not because it tastes bad per se, it just throws my brain off because it is so different from what I am expecting. Even if we could get the Gros Michel back, maybe people just wouldn't like it as much as the past generations did.
      But now that I'm typing this, why wouldn't the companies that use artificial flavors just make one that conforms to the expectations of everyone that has never had a Gros Michel? I have so many questions...

    Fun fact: the Gros Michel contains a high concentration of chemical compound called 'isoamyl acetate' which is used in everything banana-flavored, so you can actually taste them without spending 116$ on the real thing. It has been the go-to flavor since forever, and used ever since.

      That's not true, and it's an over-simplification of the situation. Banana flavored candy only contains one flavor chemical, isoamyl acetate, and occasionally a few others to make it taste slightly more "real." This chemical is found in both gros michel and cavendish. On its own, it doesn't taste much like a real banana of either variety. It tastes like banana flavored candy. Just like articifial cherry flavor doesn't taste like real cherries. All real foods have a complex combination of acids, bases, essential oils, and volatile compounds that add to the flavor profile, but also require aromatic compounds to trigger your sense of smell to get the flavor just right. Without smell, most foods taste pretty bland.

T. curvatus is known from primarily from a slender, 42 centimeter long, arched median dorsal plate, where the two sides meet at a sixty to ninety degree angle, which would have given the live animal a humped appearance. The median dorsal plate is very similar to the median dorsal plates of Rhenonema and Belemnacanthus, and is the primary reason for T. curvatus' placement within Holonematidae. After stating this reason, Denison, 1978, then questions Tropidosteus' placement within the family, noting that the dorsal plate lacks ridged ornamentation, which is a key diagnostic trait of the family. The ornamentation otherwise consists of an external covering of small tubercles.

      @@sushi777300 Of course not, bananas grow everywhere in tropical countries, you buy them from local, small sellers that don't have to worry about that since they won't be working in monocultures to export to other continents. Btw there's lots of species and most of them taste way better than this Gros Michel, which looks a lot like the ones I would find in supermarkets.

    i'm from brazil, and down here we have at least 5 other banana varieties.
    nanica (dwarf cavendish) is apparently not the same as cavendish but similar so i guess it's the standard.
    maçã (apple) is fat and short, has an astringent aftertaste, and i personally don't like it.
    prata (silver) is a bit like the cavendish but usually straighter with a smooth skin and tastes slightly better imo.
    ouro (gold) is really tiny, fits in the palm of your hand, and tastes like a piece of heaven itself. i'd wager it's better than the fabled gros michel.
    and finally, banana da terra (earth banana) which is starchy and used for cooking, eating it raw is just painful
