Tip for the day: Peel from the "Bottom"

Monday, February 22, 2010 - 10:45 PM

A few dozen of you e-mailed and tweeted me, today, to share this patented "Amazing Banana Secret"*...which I hadn't heard before:

Apparently, apes, gorillas and monkeys peel bananas from the bottom-up, not from the stem-down...as it takes care of the the string cheese problem aaaand the weird GI-tract nub in one fell swoop.

Thank you all for sharin' that! I been doin' it wrong all these years.

*PS: If I may quote from Dave Barry, doesn't "Amazing Banana Secret" sound like a punk-rock band name?
