What is this? What is it supposed to taste like? What was the flavor that was meant for this?

Is that a joke?

Why would you even pretend the peanut is a banana, and how the gently caress is that a banana flavor?

It's no joke.

Banana is the flavor of an orange colored, peanut shaped food item.

Anarchy makes more logical sense.

Banana oil is made naturally by the banana plant;[5] it is also produced synthetically.[6]

Isoamyl acetate is released by a honey bee's sting apparatus where it serves as a pheromone beacon to attract other bees and provoke them to sting.

It tastes like Circus peanut. it is Circus peanut flavor. It is a flavor that does not exist in nature.

According Joel Robinson, if you need to rapidly induce vomiting, the best way to do it is to drink a glass of circus peanuts mixed with cherry robitussin. I think he's right.

Circus Peanuts own. Like, not more that regular candy let's not get crazy but where you're at grandma's house with nothing better they are pretty good.

Hey man candy corn isn't that bad. Its a little waxy and odd, but it doesn't have the otherworldly qualities of circus peanuts.

If you arrange them so the points all face inwards and make a ring of them (Yellow ends outward), then stack multiple rings, you can actually make something that looks like an ear of corn. This was the original intention.

In the event of a water landing, your circus peanuts can be used as a flotation device.

Going to the grandparents for Christmas as a kid all they had were a bag of circus peanuts and fruit cake. Then you got to play with the lincoln logs for three days wanting to die.

How about that hard ribbon candy?
