Victorian Banana Candy with Banana Facts

Gregory Cohen of Public Displays of Confection (previously at Neatorama) knows that we love watching the process of making hard candy with images inside.

Cohen also knows that the process can be tedious, even on video, so as the candy is being cooled, pulled, shaped, and pulled again, he tells us everything he knows about bananas. Like, how they are cultivated, the internal structure of a banana, and why banana candy usually doesn't taste like a banana. The candy factory is also a soda fountain called Lofty Pursuits in Tallahassee, Florida, so Cohen is fairly enamored of the bananas he uses for banana splits.
