I've just read this. I think I might be one of the three people she's referring to. Bananas are one of the few things I cannot eat. I can eat banana flavoured things if I have to, but not anything containing bananas themselves. Apparently they are a great source of potassium. Well then I can live without that particular metal. It also means that I can't drink smoothies, because regardless of what flavour they claim to be on the bottle; "mango and strawberry", "cranberry and raspberry" etc, as far as I'm concerned what flavour they actually are is "BANANA and mango and strawberry" etc.
My most horrifying memory of bananas goes back to when I was about eight years old and a massive fan of the cartoon series "Bananaman". A series I now regard as sinister fruit-based propaganda. After watching a particularly good episode, I rushed into the kitchen and ate half a banana without thinking, hoping to turn into an amazing superhero. Instead I turned into the amazing vomiting boy.
Ironically, the first single I ever bought was "Guilty of Love in the First Degree" by Bananarama. I saw the video for it again the other day. All I'll say is that videos have got better in the last two decades. And that as a ten year old boy I had no taste.
