How to open a banana like a monkey

Well regardless of the bubbles, I'm sure going to try it next time I purchase bananas. I'm curious to see if it's as easily done as this guy makes it look like.
 
Does make me wonder that as a species we are curious enough to put a man on the moon but not try to open a banana from the other end....until now that is. :monkies:
 
Gee whiz, I must be a missing link, I've been opening bananas like that ever since I can remember. Better go climb back up my tree. :icon_lol:

Really?



I have always either tried to bend the top and that usually mushes up the fruit, or I just take a paring knife and slice the top completely, then peel it..
 
...and this way, you have something to hold on to, for that last bite
10/10 for the find, C9G (and 10/10 all you Monkeys, too) :salute:
 
I can't remember where or how I came across that video some months back...and I was like "What?!?!?!? My high school drop out parents not only gave me a stupid name, these lopsided ears, a nose that will eventually need a steel girder to keep it from dragging the ground and male pattern baldness combined with excessive body hair....but they also taught me how to open a banana the wrong way." If they were still alive, I would stop sending them Mother's and Father's Day cards.

Oh Gosh OBIO! I hope I don't offend you, but your comment above made me bust out laughing! That was good!

 
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I bite the stalk off and peel........

Its really quite easy...:173go1:
 
i learned that trick last year and i was really surprised how easy it is.

i bet kirk cameron's a little red faced over this :icon_lol:
 
I just stick the bottom end in my parrott's cage. He opens it, takes what he wants and I eat the rest.
 
I sometimes open them by splitting them in half. I grab the banana by both ends and perform a rapid, yet smooth up- and outwards motion with my arms. The result: Two halves of banana with a more or less clean (depends on your performance and the quality of the banana) site of fracture.


This is what the result of this technique can look like:

C9G

If I were worried about someone offending me by laughing at the stuff I type on this site, I wouldn't type it. I knew that someone would get a laugh out of it.
