I wonder if they substituted out green apple for lime. I freaking hate green apple.

when all i saw was your comment and the pics at the top, i thought, "i don't think they have banana either." i must be prescient.

and thank God too... i like real bananas okay, but i can't stand banana-flavoured candy.

The song, "Yes, We Have No Bananas" was a very popular song, and the phrase had been co-opted by grocers in England during the war as a patriotic way of supporting the ban on importing bananas. The ban being part of the rationing scheme, and there to free up cargo space for more necessary items.

See, I would have said that banana equals penicillin. So fake banana tastes like an ear infection.

Nice ad. It's simple, pretty, and the fruit looks yummy and colorful. I'm glad they don't offer banana flavored Lifesavers, since I'm not crazy about most banana flavored candies.

Haven't seen those in years. I do, however, have a roll of butterscotch in my jacket pocket.
