DailyDirt: You're Eating That Fruit All Wrong...

from the urls-we-dig-up dept

If there's a way to eat something, there's someone out there with a "right" way to eat it. Sometimes etiquette dictates how you should eat, but sometimes efficiency trumps the normal rules of society (don't ask when). If you're looking for more efficient ways to eat some common fruits, just check out these guides to eating apples, oranges and bananas.

• If you eat an apple by pulling out the stem and eating it top down, you'll probably be able to eat the entire apple without really tasting the core. Of course, some joker is going to say that it's better to eat it up from the bottom... [url]
• Do you hate cutting/peeling oranges? Can't decide to make an equatorial or polar cut? Here's your new method: slice a bit of the top and bottom off and then cut the peel so that it can unroll. The drawback is that you don't end up with any pieces that you can readily use to make an orange-peel-teeth smile. [url]
• Most people peel a banana from the stem down, but did you know that monkeys peel bananas from the other end? Monkeys don't care which end of the banana is the top. They just want to peel bananas in an easy way, instead of making a banana joystick with the stem and mashing the top of their bananas. [url]
