There are many varieties of bananas in the world and I just thought we should talk through the varieties and select the most satisfying.

Analysis:
The Plantain. Well there's no doubt it's a show stopper. A real massive specimen that is impressive to look at, but isn't it just a bit too big for reality? I mean honestly, I have only seen them being consumed on TV. Who's really taking that mushy monster home with them?
The Cavendish. What we all think of as a "normal banana." Not a show stopper, but what everyone is expecting. There are a few flaws that can present themselves in the Cavendish. Some are just kind of skinny. Plenty of length, but just not enough volume to fill up. Also, there is a tendency to be over curved. You run the risk of breaking it in normal conditions if you are not compensating for the extreme curve with proper positioning.
The Burro. Ah, what a magnificent specimen. A little bit shorter than the Cavendish, but look at that girth. While a few ravenous types will want the additional length provided by the Plantain, most will be fully satisfied with the Burro. Again maybe an inch or two shorter than the Cavendish, but still much bigger overall. Also extremely straight and so firm a cat can barely scratch it. Truly a robust banana for those who are into satisfying experiences.
The Baby. Well, I guess if you're looking into multiple bananas it's the way to go. Not really much else can be said other than how cute the little fellers look.
What say The Pack... What banana is best? Feel free to consult your wives and mothers as they likely are the banana experts in your household.
