What’s your “I can’t believe other people don’t do this” hack? (lemmy.world)

Open a banana from the seed end and not the bunch end. It's much easier.

Wondering why somebody would downvote this.

I do it that way for my kid as she prefers it, and the "normal" way for me, and it is identically easy.

I cannot understand the claim that it's easier the seed end, it's just not true.

It's definitely cleaner doing it the normal way from the bunch end as you never get bits of banana on you if it's a particularly squishy one.

Bunch end wins for me. Just as easy if not easier and no mess.

Depends on the state of the banana I suppose. I used to do the bunch end but it'd always end up mushing it a bit. I find just apply some pressure with a thumbnail and peeling it had better results. I remember being taught that way years back and it's worked sense. The bunch end might easily come off if it's ripened a bit I suppose.

I also thought it was strange. Sounds like the much easier part?

[–] virku@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maybe there is some big banana that wants to make our banana opening lives impractical?

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 2 months ago

I’ve always suspected there’s a big banana

I still prefer the bunch end; the seed end has this odd taste
