HOWTO disassemble a banana

iFixIt's awesome teardown site (which contains instructions for skinning and gutting many devices) has this fascinating HOWTO for disassembling a banana:


Step 4

*

Insert your thumbs into the split of the peel and pull the two sides apart.
*

Expose the top of the banana. It may be slightly squished from pulling on the stem, but this will not affect the flavor.

Step 5

*

Pull open the peel, starting from your original split, and opening it along the length of the banana.
