Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    You love what I’ve heard is the taste of the Gros Michel, a banana that was lost to diseases years ago.

      They still exist but they aren’t bred at scale anymore.

      A lot of the suitable land for the banana is contaminated with the fungus that causes Panama Disease so they can only be planted on land without it.

      A decade ago, a new strain of the fungus that infects Cavendish was detected. There isn’t any real replacement or treatment for it yet, meaning there is a high chance that all edible bananas will go extinct.

      It’s actually not extinct like a lot of people say though, just extremely difficult to find.
