Also worth mentioning is that candy banana taste is based on Gros Michel which is why it doesnt taste like standard bananas

Akschwelally this is on the Wikipedia list of common misconceptions

Banana-flavored candy was not intended to mimic the taste of a formerly popular variety of banana. It tastes different from bananas because it is mainly flavored with only one of the many flavor compounds a banana has, isoamyl acetate, that is also found in a wide variety of fruits and fermented beverages.

I couldn't find the banana part on the link you sent (on mobile so hard to search) but if it's true I stand corrected :) I'll check the link when I get to a computer and if needed I'll edit my misinformation post

It's the last bullet under the Arts and Culture : Food and Cooking subsection.
