I'd just like to take a moment to thank my good friend Ben Cowden for bringing a new skill to my attention. A life changing skill.

Until a few years ago, I had always peeled bananas by snapping the stem end. That is, I tried to. If a banana is not ripe enough, or too ripe, you know how floppy the banana's peel actually is, and the stem snapping method more often than not, ends up being awkward and messy. But lo, one summer day I see Ben opening his banana in a way I had never seen before.

"Oh yeah" he says "It's how monkeys do it in the jungle." And I must say, monkeys are geniuses. Here's how it's done my friends.

Pick up the banana. Pinch the tip. Peel.

100% success rate, and maximum time efficiency.

Also, I read the other day that bananas haven't actually reproduced naturally in a very long time. Because of this, a mutated banana virus could wipe out the banana race completely without warning, as bananas haven't evolved since they have started being cultivated as a fleshy seedless fruit. Oh, and watermelons are technically a berry.
