So recently, I discovered several of my friends HATE Banana flavoured Runts. This took me by surprise, because I always assumed everyone loved them as much as my sister, my brother and I do. This prompted a bit of research, and I found out that when it comes to not only Runts, but all artifical banana flavouring, there seems to be two schools of thought:

1- Tastes like penicillin, its disgusting, and everything Banana flavoured is garbage. Runts are no exception.:mad:

2- Banana flavouring is amazing, it even managed to make antibiotics taste good. Runts are no exception.:D

I've yet to encounter anyone who is on the fence. Which side are you on?

So I'm guessing we're not using Runt to mean small child here? Is this an american flavoured candy like Nerds?

Edits: where's the grue option?

Love banana the fruit and banana shakes. Hate banana candy. I do, however, love how banana runts look. They're very cute.

Sort of like Nerds. They're both made by Wonka.

The grape, orange, strawberry and apple to banana ratio here is really horribly representative. You barely get any banana at all. I was really happy when I found out you can buy just the bananas in bulk, because the rest of the candies are mediocre, but the banana is AMAZING.

Oh cool! There was this store in Barcelona, called Hardcore Gamers, that sold japanese imported candy. One thing a friend of mine loved was this bag filled with sour-tasting fruit decoys (like that banana above, plus watermelons, pears, etc.) that tasted really weird.

The banana ones were good.

I seem to remember Runts having watermelon too. I hate watermelon. That is a topic for another day though. I wouldn't even bother to make a poll. There are very few fellow watermelon haters out there.

Watermelon flavor is ok, though I wouldn't go out of my way for it.

Actual watermelon though? Don't like it at all. I don't care for the taste nor the texture. Florida in summertime is especially bad, because everyone has a fucking watermelon that they want to cut up and serve to whoever will help them eat it.

I'm with makare for once. Love banana runts. Can't stand most artificial banana flavoring. I think it's because it's really low-key in the runts. On that note, who decided this was what bananas taste like? I guess it's somewhat similar to dried bananas, but not much like the fresh ones.

I read the post backwards. My sincere apologies for sullying your presence by suggesting we may have briefly agreed on something.

I know of three people who have PAID EXTRA MONEY when they otherwise would have been covered by insurance, to request the doctor prescribe banana flavoured antibiotics instead of pills, despite being grown adults and thus requiring 2 to 3 times the dosage.

Haha, I just did that. Amoxicillin comes in either the pill format or the banana-flavoured suspension. AND I got the suspension. :)

When my sister and I were little, we wanted them to sell boxes of Runts that were nothing but the bananas. We'd fight over the bananas. The bananas were the reason to get Runts at all.

Banana flavoured candies aren't terrible, runts being the most bearable of them all and those marshmallow bananas commanding a solid last. Now if we're talking popsicles, my diet could, and if possible would, consist solely of banana flavoured ones.

As far as artificial fruit flavourings go for me though, watermelon anything reigns supreme.

I like that Blue-Raspberry flavor... and the mysteriousness of the "banana" flavor is why I stick with calling it Yellow. haha.

Marshmallow bananas? i have not seen this.
