(If you honestly don't know the variety, just call them "bananas"; I've seen pots of these in WM and the other stores.)

Sure, but where is the prosecutor?
Lets take the Blue Java mix up: I have had a 30 minute phone conversation with Agristarts about their tissue culture material and have offered them the "real deal". They said that they were aware of the mix up, but the problem had been fixed. Well, that was over a year ago, but apparently nothing has been fixed. And they never called me back.
I am still willing to provide them with the real Ice Cream.
