It turns out we've got nothing on monkeys in this regard.

Can anyone independently confirm that this works reliably?

Also why would monkeys be much of an expert? Just from what we feed them in zoos? Do they actually eat a lot of bananas in the wild?

I've always peeled from the stem, never even thought to do it any other way. Watching this video in front of someone from a different country, it appears this is a cultural thing as they have never thought of peeling any other way than the way in this video. Kind of interesting.

From the stem is largely a North-American thing, most of the world uses the other end....

I just do it with the stem part.

Is this real life?

As much as I always have opened them the way he used to... I never had any, you know... difficulty with it.

Bite it? Stick your finger into it? What? What's so hard about just pulling back on it like a handle? It snaps the skin and peels back.

I think doing it the second way looks easier and neater, but man, I think he's missing a few brain cells if he actually found it hard to do it the other way.

You're very lucky if you never have trouble opening a banana, spoco2. If the banana isn't perfectly ripe, the top doesn't always snap open. I sometimes squish the whole top eigth trying to wrestle with the damn things. There are times when I eat a banana a day, and I can't wait to try this technique on the organic ones I buy.

Our corporate masters have trained us with soda cans to open things using the pull tab. You mean, bananas are different?

Bananas were created by humans through selective breeding and chance. The wild variety sucks.

I never have trouble with bananas unless they're rock hard and really should be allowed to ripen. However this does make it a tad easier.

Black people do it the monkey way whites do it the other way, why do u think black people are black ? its because they are monkeys.

I was taught this a number of years ago, and have been doing it ever since. Works like a charm, although I sometimes get odd looks from people.

Too much effort. I simply eat and digest it all with my system of mighty organs.

I had been doing it K-PAX style but now I will eat the skin separately after opening it.

Reminds me of the people shown in black and white at the beginning of infomercials who can't seem to accomplish even the simplest of tasks without injuring themselves.

I'll definitely give this a try, but I can't say I ever found myself cursing a banana for not peeling easily. And who knows, maybe I'll switch. I didn't learn about the Ian knot for shoelaces until I was 20, and that wasn't too difficult to implement.

Why go to the effort of wearing monkey print underwear and not just put on pants for your video to the world?

It's definitely true that it's easier to open bananas from the bottom, but it does leave that little nipple stuck to the end of the banana which you then have to manually pull off.

I prefer making a small cut on the pull-tab end, either with my thumb-nail or a knife, and peeling from there. Then the nipple-thing stays in the peel.

No, no, NO! The stem is the tab that God put there, moron!

Yeah, don't let Satan tempt you into opening a banana through the back door. It's an unnatural and immoral lifestyle choice.

I'm going to start eating bananas more often, and with this "new" open-from-the-bottom- technique, just to spite Creationists.

no shit.. because he also says this:

"once we can exist outside of our born bodies race prejudice will seem Evan more absurd" - westy

and this

"Within the next 60 years i think its likely that people will distance themselves from there physical entity of flesh to some existent , maby we will be able to separate ourselves from our body , evan if we are still locked into our bodies i can see a large number of people exsperanceing alot through vertual reality where u interact fully with people in some invented world. its alredy happning now to some exstent with internet chat MMO,s only its just shit at the moment with exstremily limited interactivty and sences." - westy


sounds like he found a way to take a break but not be forgotten... westy you are too much.. i downvoted you too, so that you could increase your record. i think its at 32 now. that would be awesome to get like 100+.

Blacks do not open their own bananas. 90% vote for the democrat who promises them free bananas and a guilty white liberal to open them.

More evidence for "intelligunt desine". The banana just fits perfectly into the hand of man, thus proving the banana was created by God(tm) for enlightened evangelicals to consume. By divine providence, the banana also fits perfectly into their asses. Thus it has been revealed. Evolutionary theory is wrong!

Just be sure to firmly grip the base. Not too firmly, mind you. You should probably ask permission before pinching the tip.
