Yup, you'd pretty much have to educate the consumer on the different varieties of banana available before you could create that pull market for them. Lagniappe gives good examples there; I'd add in that differently-coloured-skin bananas would require a goodly deal of info, especially the green-ripe ones that I sometimes find in the markets here. No idea what variety they are, but they're among the best nanners I've ever eaten.

Then again, I'm not a typical consumer since I generally go out of my way to try new things.
