How do you peel a banana?

[StonedWheat]

I've peeled a banana from the top (stem side) all my life, and my co-worker just said that I peeled it like a monkey would. He said that almost 100% of humans peel bananas from the bottom. Is this true?

[Jenny]

You can peel it from the bottom? Odd. I've always peeled it from the top, bending the stem across & down, tearing the stem part to begin the peel. heh

[OC]

Your friend musta just taken a good hit of teh crack.

[doolittle]

heh, maybe you are human after all.

[DarkFury]

umm... go tell your cow-orker to pull his "opposable thumb" out of his derriere and start peelin' bananas the right way. :heh:

You don't need to be a monkey to figure out peeling the banana from the stem side is easier. Or maybe not. Should you peel bananas from the bottom up? (http://slate.msn.com/id/2067407/)

Your co-worker needs to stop monkeying around.

Wait, I always thought that the stem side was the bottom. We need to diagram this, then write a grant proposal for the gov't to pay us to study this, get a sample size of at least 1000 people per region of the country, and then we can decide what's top and what's bottom. After that, we repeat the process to figure out which side you peel from.

Me, I peel from opposite the stem.

I usually break the banana in half before pealing. :D

[DankNstickY]

heck i just take a bite out of it with the peel still on to avoid all this confusion.

[Freelance Superhero]

you're supposed to peel bananas? :eek3:

[Markel]

The stem is the "pull tab" to get things started - that's the right way to proceed. :hihi:

[oblongmelon]

i use the non stem end....hmmm

how do you break it with the peel still on? Your nanner don't get "squashed" that way?


Strange behaviors... indeed. :D

[PiPhiAngel]

i usually cut the stem halfway with a knife, and then i peel it (from the stem). it helps keep the top of the banana from getting all smushed because the stem won't break.

[Nija]

I don't eat bananas. :shrug:

LOL...Jenny said "shiznit". Anyways, my co-worker was totally serious. He's from Russia, and he said all the people there peel it that way.

[Houdini]

I've never tried peeling from the non-stem side. I guess it just never occurred to me. Anyone besides SL peel backwards?

[nickel]

is that a banana in your pocket?


somebody had to say it

[Burzhui]

what the hell, stem side!

[DarkFury]

i use the non stem end....hmmm
Heh... :naughty:


Really now... :D

[MrGreg]

Somebody get me a banana, right now

[molecularfire]

I have no idea what the stem of a banana is but I peel the banana by pinching off the end where there is that brown crap at the end that you're not supposed to eat so that I don't forget while eating the banana and eat that piece at the end.

[GracieBayb]

I don't eat bananas. :shrug:
:thud:

Well.. if you from a "backwards" country.... then I guess you'd do things like that "backwards".


/me looks around to see if Burz is watching... :shifty: :heh: :hehehmm: :D (
Besides... he said he goes "stem side", so my your cow-orker is talkin' out of his gluteous orifice. :eek:

:stupid: I've never even tried the other end. Why would I? (Nija, no lude comments at that question)

[Jeffbx]

Why don't blondes eat bananas?


Once you peel them & throw away the bone, there's nothing left!

[revil]

I don't understand. am i supposed to use a potato peeler or something?

[angl2b]

I dunno how to peel a banana - it always gets squishy...so I use a knife and hack off the top then peel...:)

[le_stick]

AFAIK, that only applies to women, in Oriental of course. My wife always break the bana in half.

Not really, that was how we were taught to eat the banana. :D
