Ok, so my roommate and I had a discussion the other day. He splits banana peels into 3 sections, I peel it into 4.

How do you peel it?

That seems like it would be difficult.

Not really, its how I've always opened them.

2 or 3 way split from the bottom. It's the easiest and most efficient way to open a banana.

Fair enough. Maybe I just played too much Mario Cart when young, haha.

Three or four, whatever ends up happening. Usually go for three though.

I peel from the stem/top, my girlfriend does it from the other end, which is so weird to me. The stem is so much easier, since you just crack it back and pull. After that, the other sections just happen on their own.

I think 4, I'm not really sure.

I can't even imagine peeling it from the bottom, haha. I think I'm gonna try that next time, just because I'm curious.

Huh, I never really thought about it. But, I'm going to guess that I do the 4-split.

most people in america peal from the stem. but if you go to other countries they will laugh at you for that. you're suppose to peal from the bottom because of bacteria that sits on the top of the banana (towards the stem) when they are growing. because the bananas dont go trough any processing like it does here. they just pick it right of the tree and eat it.

I like nature take its course, so it's usually 3 or 4.

Who the fuck counts how many splits there are when they peel their bananas?

Edit: Also, people peel their bananas from the bottom? What the fuck is wrong with you people?!

it depends. each banana peels differently. sometimes it will take 4 peels other times three is all thats required

it depends, sometimes it only takes 2 peels to come right off.

It all depends. I don't try for a certain number of peels. Peeling from the bottom is actually more efficient but I always forget since I grew up peeling from the top.

Question is, What end of the banana do you open it? From the top or the stem?

11/13/09, 10:13 PM
2, you crack off the top and it slipts in two. i have no idea how you guys can get 4.

The stem is the top.

I always joke around that people allergic to bananas are the most evolved humans.

I always rock a 4-way split.

11/14/09, 12:39 PM
2 peel split. I'm wondering how you'd even peel it from the bottom. There's nothing to grab on to.
Edit:OGK7x6KjbjM
That's how. Guy's a dick though, cracking it from the top is just as efficient as from the bottom. Unless you're squeezing the damn thing, the banana won't squish.

The stem is the top.
Really? I've always thought as the stem as the bottom. That's what I hold on to when I eat a banana.

I mean, technically they grow with the stem down, so I suppose that should be considered the bottom, but it seems like the top to me.

Peeling it from the bottom, that way you can take off the nasty shit first and then eat the whole thing.

number of splits is irrelevant/ depends on the individual nanner.

AussieBoy
11/17/09, 10:47 PM
which ever way the banana choices to split for me after a swift yank of the top, but usually that will be 3/4, the odd 2 and sometimes a completly destroy it to mush

Alex_supertramp
11/17/09, 11:01 PM
wait....what the shit? people actually plan the number of splits their banana peel will have? I just had an epiphany....welp learn something new everyday i guess.

When my buddy was in the army, he learned how to open a banana by cracking it in half with his hands. Sometimes he fucks up and the banana bends and squishes everywhere, lol. I'll stick to my 3 or 4 split, depending on how the banana peels.

some professor told me that after he got back from a year trip from south america. and all the kids were laughing at him when he picked a banana and peeled it from the stem.

iii peel from the non-stem end, not cos of bacteria, it's just easier
