Whoever said that humans are more evolved than our hairy little cousins in the monkey kingdom is probably the same idiot who taught you how to open a banana… WRONG!
I don’t know about you, but for at least 3 decades I’ve been opening bananas like a, well… cro-magnon. When I should have been opening it like a primate! Here, just watch the video and you’ll see.

PopCorn on the Cob
Ok, this video is a bit corny (pun intended), but it’s also an interesting concept. So take a look at how you can make fresh popcorn directly from the cob.
The process simply involves freezing a fresh ear of corn and then slapping it in the microwave! The video has all the details…

I feel so…un-evolved!
LOL, I have stopped eating bananas, but if I was a monkey I would have opened way better than that.
well to tell you the true guys I’ve never seen that way to open bananas, beleive me as soon I arraive to my home I will open one of then with this new style and if I like it that will be my new way to open bananas…
My daughter showed me that last week but explained that it was the way Starbucks trained her. I evaluated it and opted to stick with the classic banana opening technology. The chimp way could lead to living in cages and flinging dung.
Yeah, but, that way leaves that icky brown piece on it – blech! My sister-in-law showed the kids and I a cool way a few years ago, and I do that every time and it works so much easier. I used to get a butter knife out and ‘start’ the split like he did with his teeth and the whole thing was just this big ordeal. But “Suzy’s way” has made my banana-eatin’ life much easier!! Guess I’ll have to do a video about it, huh? ;) (If I could ever get my blankety-blank camera to stop eating batteries, that is!!
I’ve always done that kind of naturally. Kind of messy to open from the stalk because it just pulls the whole peel down. When you have a soft banana it will squish it. Monkey see, monkey do! :)
Thanks for sharing this video, I’ve passed it along to several friends and they feel liberated!
Well I have seen this way of opening… but never gave it a try.. guess I’ll just stick to the normal way.
Haha that’s cool! Also you can just sort try to “bend” the banana a little through the center, a small crack will form and you can open it from there :D
Have you ever heard of “banana breaking/snapping”? I like just breaking it in half, then eating it so. (with this you can share it too :P )
