     @perloid that I did not know. Are there seeds in a banana?

     @mcnalu Not in the ones we eat. They are sterile and are cloned. They are the result of extensive cultivation (plant breeding) I believe.

     @johnnynull @perloid fascinating, thanks. I'm off to the shops to get one so I can open it like a monkey.

     @perloid @mcnalu You're welcome. It is a superior method, been doing it for years.

     @mcnalu @perloid Yeah, no idea. Every now and again I see the lil guys in the grocery stores, but I've never purchased one. I'll have to.

     @perloid @mcnalu Well, there are seeds. They are the black dots in the banana. It's just that they're useless.

     @johnnynull @mcnalu @perloid IIRC the flavour in the banana sweets is the "Gros Michel" but decided not to change it to the new one.
