Well. Artificial flavoring is typically identifying 1 or 2 compounds that occur within a fruit, whereas the fruit has dozens of these compounds. Imagine what artificial apple flavoring is to green apples - that’s what Runts is to the Gros banana.
You can still get the Gros in some places but it’s not grown at scale, has to be isolated.
