My mother would give it to me whether I had asthma or not, insisting it tasted "just like bananas", mainly to knock me out so she wouldn't have to deal with me. It's a wonder I didn't become a hard-core junkie, but the stuff was so nasty I would literally wash my OWN mouth out with soap on more than one occasion just to rid myself of that taste! When the government banned the use of that narcotic, my mother stopped buying that and I started using an inhaler like most asthmatics.

jeez! Well from what i hear you should count yourself lucky not to have been born in the 1890's, when every childs medecine was dosed heavily with opium
Anyway, although i enjoy bananas i agree with you, they can taste bland and sort of chalky after a while. Not the best of fruits.
