#61 Victorian Banana Candy or why does banana candy typically not taste like bananas?

So interesting for so many reasons! Watching you make the candy is hypnotic as always. But the banana facts really stole the show for me this time.

I think it would be awesome to be able to go to the store and buy different kinds of bananas the way you can with oranges and apples. I'm sure there are reasons but I'd love to know more about them.

So there is over 200 species of bananas actually. There is all kinds of colors too Green ones Red ones even. the thing is about the banana we know and love its hard for the American people who all as a culture and together decide what is mainstream to sell in stores to accept new kinds of fruit. Even when the banana was first introduced it was hard for everyone to like them. They had to start selling the banana's at an incredibly low price, lower then the apple which was dominating sells during the time. And the thing is it worked it, when they started selling them so low it actually beat the apple in the market. It was kind of a Hell Mary for the sellers if they were ever going to make it in America. So the thing is about the Panama disease is that it constantly changes and is incredibly infectious. if you even step in infected soil then step in uninfected soil it ruins the whole crop. Also you can never plant that species of banana ever again in that spot. The banana is actually very fascinating even if its not my favorite fruit lol

[@SomeoneCommenting]

The problem with the banana is that in America the market *forces* the consumer to have a specific image of what a banana is supposed to be. Then when you tell them that there are tons of varieties, they only want the one that has been brainwashed into their heads. It's the same problem of the Haas avocado. Yet with apples (a local product) you have tons of varieties and they are all accepted. Real bananas usually get speckled when they naturally ripe, but if you show a banana like that to a whiny American they will not eat it because "it is spoiled". They only like those fake, chemically-ripened bananas that are perfectly yellow outside.

[@ameliawhitley8679]

Um ok cool I guess

[@crazyeyes8962]

SomeoneCommenting Why the latent anti-Americanism? Got a problem with people who don't like bananas? I also don't know what fake, chemically-ripened bananas you're talking about -- every supermarket I've ever been to sells slightly underripe green bananas which are edible, but bitter. They are meant to ripen after you get home. That said, I would love to see more varieties of bananas available.

[@HappyBeezerStudios]

And babanaes just get flavourful when they begin to color. Soft and sweet.

[@AStrategyGameDev]

Its not Anti-Americanism. Its Just Anti-American-Capitalism. which is a pretty extreme version of Capitalism. American food regulations and quality standards are years behind Europe and some of Asia. Which is strange because America is pound for pound more wealthy, but I think the Red Scare is to blame for this and has kind of stopped any social reforms (including public health) for a long time.

9:31 the kid dropped the banana candy 😂 But that's ok, I'm sure he still got to eat one

[@MrSporeaddict123]

youve been blessed by the algorithm, ive had this in recommended videos for MONTHS now, but you absolutely deserve it. Very fun, wholesome and entertaining

[@festivite]

9:31 "....They liked it" *Candy hits the floor*

[@joshmiller166]

I have a question. I know you make hard candy (I love going to see it made), But have you ever considered making gummy candy?

[@LoftyPursuits]

+The Gaming Ostrich it's a very different process. I don't have the equipment.

[@joshmiller166]

Ah I see.

[@Nj1498]

Poor kid (to the left) at the end. He's waiting for his candy, and it drops from his hand when he finally gets it...😧

[@LankyLarkyy]

The way he keeps seamlessly switching from instructions on making his candy back to banana facts is too much for my brain to keep up with I love it

[@thiccnuggettt6535]

Take a shot every time he says banana

[@narcissisticjuxta3598]

Id be waaay over drunk

[@ShadowVipers]

Mr. Stark I don't feel so good!

[@RunyaEithelNar]

@@Sarah-ux7pz With banana daiquiri? ;)

[@whostolemypassport9478]

In Latvia they make lots off these candys and lots off flavours and they sell them in every store there business is doing reely good and they make a good gift

[@marcoalaridwhite1315]

If you’re gonna talk about the history of bananas you really oughta mention the intense economic imperialism that was associated with Chiquita and United Fruit. Banana Republics we’re not good things and I still don’t understand that store being named that.

[@iand4374]

Those 3 banana companies (backed by the US government) regularly overthrew entire South American governments to maintain control over their crop. Crimes against humanity

[@Ashh1066]

Salmonella

[@aguspuig6615]

the fact that this is handcrafted but with an image of a banana in every candy piece is really a show of human enginuity.

[@Larry]

Rice, Corn and Wheat are the top most cultivated foods? I honestly thought Potatoes would be up there too!

[@theguynamedgio]

wtf are you doin on banana candy vids pshhh

[@loweffortproductions1985]

Giothedude KZbinrs like to watch random videos too

[@WreckItRolfe]

I just want to note that you've commented on the last three random videos I've watched.

[@MrZeyami]

takes significantly more land to cultivate grains as compared to potatoes, so it's mostly a demand thing.

[@mibrahim5053]

Soo bananas are clones

[@uzimonkey]

"Gross Michael?" That's a french name, it's pronounced like "grow Michelle."

[@MrPacman64]

was looking for this comment lol

[@MrPacman64]

@Henry Dunlap obviously otherwise they wouldn't have made the comment

[@vincentlevarrick6557]

Right?! Bit of a shudder every time I heard him say Gross Michael. Rest of the video was fine, but this, no.

[@LoftyPursuits]

You entirely missed the point. I pronounced it that way for a reason. Think about it

[@SonnenShades]

I got this video randomly recommended. I come here to find an interesting video about the history of bananas with a guy making candy in the background. Subbed.

[@sakurapossom8981]

Take a shot every time he says "banana"

[@Chugucon]

it's 3a.m. and I start my senior in 4 hours. I need help

[@Tombee2]

Meep ha I start school in September

[@annabellavetra]

cancel your internet

[@gabibraule2892]

In Brazil we have at least fifty different kinds of banana, so relax we are not gonna run out of them! All banana splits are saved

[@LoftyPursuits]

+gabi braule It's the bananas that are tough enough to ship that are the problems. And the ones that become ripe year round. I have a plant in my yard, but it is delicate. I can eat them ...but they would never survive being shipped.

[@Aereto]

Homegrown fruits and vegetables does take quite the commitment, but good ingredients while there are techniques to extracting their flavors/nutrients.

[@PhunkieZero]

I would LOVE to try some of the different varieties of banana there are

[@Adrastia]

It's just not plausible. Maybe when they invent transporters like in Star Trek. Then we can beam bananas everywhere.

[@Mastermind8908]

But with less varieties of kinds of bananas, the more quantities of those there would be. If there were 500,000 bananas left, 50 kinds would make only 10,000 of one kind left, but 5 kinds would make 100,000 of one left. If you have one favorite type, how many sundaes would you want to be able to enjoy?

[@axebizarro]

Love this video I still re-watch it over and over and I dont get bored of it. It reminds me when my dad used to take me to his jelly factory, its not the same but it still nostalgic. never delete this video thank you.

[@amusementamy3246]

Yo yo so I'm from England and bloody love bananas, going to orlando soon, how long does it take to drive to Tallahassee from Orlando? Cheers 😂

[@LoftyPursuits]
