Puns puns…

Anyway, Mills emailed this link to me at work today, and I found the entire article incredibly interesting.  It made me do 3 things:

1.  Feel terrible for buying and enjoying bananas my entire life.

2.  Fear the day when bananas as we know them will cease to exist.

3.  REALLY want to try the extinct banana: Gros Michel (it must have been huge and super delicious)!

(note:  I called my Aunt, who was born in 49, and she does not remember the Gros Michel; it was extinct by 1960s, so she was a little too young.  I have a call in to my Uncle, who is a few years older.  Maybe he remembers).

update: my Uncle laughed at me at pointed out that I missed the part in the article where it said that our great grandparents likely ate the Gros Michel…then he asked me how old I  thought he was.  HA!
