I agree with Pete, but it depends upon where you shop. My wife and I primarily shop at the local Wal-Mart superstore as it is mostly one stop shopping. Having said that, they are probably the worst for offering much variety. I have never seen anything other than the "plain old banana" offered here. However, just down the road at Kroger I have been able to get some type of Red banana out of Mexico and some Baby Bananas by Dole (though they almost weren't edible). I think if given the opportunity, consumers would like to try something new and different. The Cavendish may always be the most popular because that's what we are conditioned to think we like but it would at least be nice to have the option. Of course, unless they can sell enough of them to make it economically feasible, the large corporations such as Dole and Chiquita will never import more that a handful of these. Our loss.
