Well, not a can, but a juice pack, from the Coca-Cola unit Minute Maid. They advertise it has having the "energy" of two bananas (i.e, it has 194 calories). I think a Snickers bar has the "energy" of two bananas in this sense.

It's a banana-yogurt flavored gelatine drink with banana "juice" listed as the third ingredient after maltodextrine and sugar.

Although the name of the product is "Asa Banana," just as in the "Asa Banana Diet" (Morning Banana Diet), there's no explicit reference to the diet, so this is either a coincidence, or just a attempt at making a marketin connection to the diet (perhaps the former, since the diet is still a bit underground).

By the way, at that price you could get 10 bananas if you buy the cheap ones.

That product has to be a coincidence. Here in Spain people buy lots of those products, but they don't realize that the best things are natural things.

They will emulate the bananas on that iogurt, but it will be never the same as a banana.

I agree. You do get a lot of those types of drinks here in Spain, and to be honest, I really do bnot like them very much. There cannot be a substitute that is as good for you as the real thing in its natural form.

Well I think it differs from country to country, since in India nobody ever buys minute-maid. We all prefer buying the natural product rather than these juices. But even though we buy bananas it not always the most healthy food, since now-a-days a lot of pesticides are used that do cause a lot of health problems.
