The ingredients are interesting. They added "banana flavoring". Why would they need to add banana flavoring to a banana?

Gros Michel bananas ("old-school" bananas) have much more isoamyl acetate than the present-day Cavendish banana. We expect more "banana" flavor (i.e., isoamyl acetate) than is present in modern Cavendish bananas, particularly when the flavor is supposed to be condensed, like in a dried banana. So it's not that the fake banana flavor doesn't taste like bananas, it's that bananas don't taste as flavorful as they used to.

Apparently, this seems to be true of a great may fruits & vegetables, as preceding generations to ours prioritized prettiness/uniformity/unblemished peels in their produce purchases over flavor, and so producers naturally produced more of what sold well - pretty but flavor-deficient produce. As a result, we now get to choose between very bland but beautiful produce, or "heirloom" varieties at a very high price premium, supposedly flavorful like in the olden days. Also supposedly the olden days ugly produce was much more nutritious than today's pretty varieties. All this is what the internet told me, so take with a large grain of salt. I've never been willing to pay the huge premium to try heirloom produce - can someone who has offer an opinion - is it that much better?
(if so, I probably need to start up a garden, since I'm still not going to pay 5x as much for a tastier tomato or bananna)

Personally I find heirloom quite a bit tastier... of course, that is a personal preference.

If you have the space for a garden, I would say you should go that route! In particular, tasty varieties of tomatoes are fairly easy to grow at home. Bananas may give you a little trouble...
