I’m one of those guys that rarely ever makes it to peeling a banana for eating as I have a tendency to buy them, only to unintentionally use them as a kitchen ornament.

I'm 49 years old and have never seen anyone peel a banana from the tip, until I saw that video.

What universe are we in right now??

Agreed. Like seeing someone eat a candy bar with a fork and knife.

No, no, no, you have to embrace your inner chimp! This is why the world is in it's current position, we have forgotten our simplistic chimp ways and instead moved towards being more "human". At this point we need to revert instead of continuing forward!

Providing useless knowledge is my strong suit!

I can't believe it took this many posts to get to what is clearly the correct way to eat a banana.

A much more effective means of balanced distribution would be for each to take an end. I would like to witness this method of ingestion as well.

I'm not even a big banana fan anyways. I mean I'll eat the damn thing if that's all we have, but I don't go out and purposely buy bananas. I also avoid any deserts made with banana.

Now some fried plantains... oooooooh yeah!!!!!

Sometimes, following the experts lead isn't necessarily the best way. The majority of videos I've seen show them biting the tip and peeling it back or just biting into the skin. Have we not evolved enough to come up with a better way? I'll admit that I'm happy to be commenting on something other than health, political or social issues.
