I'll put the very small, red ones from Mexico's Sierra Madre up against any.

Does this make bananas taste different today than yesterday when we didn't know this?

Have you ever, like, really contemplated the banana? I mean, like, they're yellow, and stuff. Horses like 'em, but ya gotta peel 'em first. Otherwise, they, like, bury them like they do a zucchini, and then they give ya dirty looks afterwords. Like you fed them a zucchini or something. Zucchinis are green and everything. But bananas, they're yellow, and stuff. Like, Wow.

(had to say it, whatever "it" is, and you were up.)

Umm... How did gorillas get by without bananas?

By painting zucchini yellow and holding their noses.

And they had to wait 4 millenia for the ice cream.

The Shoppers Food Warehouse chain here in Maryland carries those. They are indeed tasty.
