I thought I heard that Russian people peeled their bananas this way...

Wrong, tried it more than once and never worked for me

Peeling  a banana from bottom to top is easy. Oh yes watch your nails when doing it.

I saw that info about peeling a banana from the bottom somewhere on tv not long ago and it really works.

Only if your banana is over-ripe do you have to peel 'strings'....use them sooner and the flavor/texture/peeling is better and fresher....as for primates...the natural and instinctive way to peel bananas is the stem downward...it is the instinctive way to peel them...all monkeys/apes/gorillas/chimps/babboons/etc and us humans >>>>> peel  them the natural and instinctive way by the stem down...hand a banana to any normal 'primate' and watch them peel from the stem downwards....go to the zoo or discovery channel if you disbelieve....sorry "UNKNOWN"  you are truly unknowing......out of the loop and just plain dumb (for lack of a more polite word)....

I never thought a banana had a top and a bottom.  Which is which?

Amazing. Damn those smart monkeys lol.

I heard that and my 2 yr old does that.  Not sure how he figured it out.

I tried it and IT works    Thanks

Thats how my 15 year old son does it. I wondered why , now I know its the primate in him!

I've tried this several times before (after seeing an e-mail with this particular hint) without it working AT ALL for me... but I do wish it would, I hate those strings!

That's so funny my mom just told me that trick the other day and my one year old eats them better because he doesn't get the stringy things in his mouth!! thanks for passing that on.

Love this!  I've been doing this for a while and it really does work!  Keep the tips coming!!!!

Good point. Thanks a lot.

Seperate your banana's when you get home, they last longer.

Thanks for the tip it worked! :)

I have heard this before but never tried it.

posted on 3/4/2010 5:35:40 PM

Wow I never knew that. I am going to do that from now on.

posted on 3/4/2010 3:25:53 PM

Smart. Never thought about it that way and i have four banana lovers.

posted on 3/4/2010 2:35:08 PM

thats a great idea! i always hate the strings.

posted on 3/4/2010 1:16:55 PM

Proves the primates are smarter than we are.

Be careful when doing this.  If you use your thumb name to break the peel, it may turn black and it's hard to get the stain off.

posted on 3/4/2010 12:46:20 PM

cool, I just had to try it and it does work.

posted on 3/4/2010 12:20:57 PM

I tried this the first time I read it. Does not work.

posted on 3/4/2010 11:19:56 AM
