I have had Gros Michel bananas. They do not taste like banana candy, although weirdly they do smell like the candy much more strongly than the Cavendish.
From what I understand people used to let them brown completely before eating them, which would have a different taste to what we consider ripe today. Also, it was used a lot more in cooking, which likely enhanced that particular flavor.
