Wait I thought Gris Michel went extinct?!

Where oh where on God's green earth did they survive and can I get them shipped!?

Miami Fruit will reportedly ship them to you. Unless you live in California or Hawaii, much to my chagrin...

They cannot be shipped to locations which grow commercial cavendish for risks of viral infection. Australia has restrictions in place on movement of all kinds of fruit and vegetables inter-state for exactly this reason.

Also, if travelling in S.E.Asia try the small "sugar bananas" and ladyfinger, commonly available in a few places alongside some of the dozens and dozens of "not-cavendish" bananas that locals eat.

		She was dead on if you account for inflation. $10 in 2003 when the show first aired is $17.61 using the CPI to calculate inflation.

Does anyone know of a similar site with melons?

I've seen a few places sell them. It's a specialty item and I suspect you need a specialty grocer or be some place where you can grow them. (e.g. in the tropics or semi-tropical spots, you can grow a variety of banana varieties that you can't really find in stores).

They still exist, mainly on small scale farms in tropical countries. You can find them in local markets.
