My entire life,i've been peeling bananas by tugging on the stem end of the banana. If you're like me,you've probably been doing it the same way. I feel so dumb now. I was reading online today,that monkeys open their bananas in a totally different way. They take it by the end that is opposite from the stem,pinch the tip together,and it will seperate much easier. I'll never go back to the old way!
