This is something I have never even thought about, but a co-worker peeled a banana from the bottom...I've always peeled from the top.
Which end do you peel from?
This topic is locked from further discussion.
Upon further research, I see that is apparently one of two things that separate us from the rest of the animal kingdom.I peel from the top. Monkeys peel from the bottom. I'd like to think that makes us the more civilized species.

Ever since I saw that video online and finally realized you actually could open it from the bottom I have been doing it ever since. So much easier.SaintLeonidasIf you have to consciously think about it, I'd say that takes more effort. Not to mention you had to watch an instructional video to learn the technique :P. That doesn't really seem easier to me.

Normally from the top but sometimes you get those ones that the stem just bends and mashes the top of the banana, then i just tear it open from the centre.
I bite it in the abdomen and peel in opposite directions away from the center of my face. Weird? Maybe. Efficient? Not Really. Pointless? Most Definitely.FragStainsBananas have abdomen? That just makes me think of them as autonomous, sentient beings...And that is a scary thought, my friend.

That doesn't really seem easier to me. Instructional video? It was a viral hit in which someone showed that it was possible, there is nothing to learn and I hope you dont think that. And I dont have to consciously think it, I always open from the bottom. You are better off always opening it from the bottom and avoid those moments every so often in which the top is a pain to open. And I think being civilised has nothing to do with it, actually seeing how we usually seeing monkeys eating bananas more than humans then they have obvioulsy perfected the correct/easiest way to open bananas, so they have one up on most people in that department...but not on me :P
Top. I haven't seen anyone peel from the bottom.[QUOTE="SaintLeonidas"]Ever since I saw that video online and finally realized you actually could open it from the bottom I have been doing it ever since. So much easier.aaronmullanWhat video?

Wat. That's far easier. I may just try that from now on...No, what makes you think that?Am I one of the only people who hasn't been searching for an alternate way to open a banana? It's not exactly a complicated matter :lol:

[QUOTE="jubino"]No, what makes you think that? Just seems foreign to me that there would even be videos about such a thing. I've never really considered opening from the top to be too inefficient for me.Am I one of the only people who hasn't been searching for an alternate way to open a banana? It's not exactly a complicated matter :lol:
SaintLeonidas
[QUOTE="jubino"]Who said it was complicated? Why would someone need an alternative way to do something that works fine? The videos, man. The videos! :lol: I've never picked up a banana, stared at the smaller end, and thought to myself "Grabbing the large, easy-to-hold-on-to stem just seems too cumbersome. I wonder if I can pinch onto the smaller end and that would make my life easier?".Am I one of the only people who hasn't been searching for an alternate way to open a banana? It's not exactly a complicated matter :lol:

Wat. That's far easier. I may just try that from now on... seriously you've had a hard time with the top? i just bend it and it breaks off in the nice peel.Upon further research, I see that is apparently one of two things that separate us from the rest of the animal kingdom.[QUOTE="jubino"]

Maaaaaaan, I thought we were supposed to be smarter than monkeys. Evolution is a fluke. We can't even figure out how to open bananas right. :x
Well, I'm sure more of us would peel it from the bottom if it was taught to us that way.. and think peeling from the top was silly. I doubt anyone here actually started peeling a banana on their own without being shown how.I peel from the top. Monkeys peel from the bottom. I'd like to think that makes us the more civilized species.
