Laffy Taffy Banana

Let's talk banana here. No, not real bananas. That particular banana-flavor found only in Banana Laffy Taffy, which has gained a strong following despite bearing little resemblance to a real banana. Or as the blogger over at FringeCandy.com puts it, "There is something more banana than banana in the experience. After eating a Laffy Taffy, the real deal feels a little bit like a letdown." Part of the appeal is definitely its silky texture and long-lasting flavor. And part of it is the distinctive sweet, juiciness of the Laffy Taffy banana flavor. (Think about it, other brands of taffy have strawberry, cherry, grape, etc. But, no one makes a BANANA taffy that has quite as recognizable banana flavor as Laffy Taffy).
