I used to do this as a kid as well, but I remember using a needle and thread. You kind of looped the thread around the interior of the skin, then exited the banana through the same hole you entered. Pull the thread: instant cut. You don't actually show the technique used to cut the banana. How does a straight needle touch the interior curves of the banana? Also, who the heck opens a banana from the pointy end? I mean, then come with a little convenient handle/opener!

It's actually really up to the person where he opens banana from....to me is easier...:)

[asianwizard]

i open bananas on that end it seems harder but its not and when you pull from the stem end some times that end gets squished

[mr.dr.prof.joel]

that is most definitely what she said.

Same here man - the same end...

As a kid, I always opened bananas from the "Handle" end... last year I saw a you tube video and switched to the other side. It's much easier to open... press on one of the corners with a fingernail, it just opens up.

That would be awesome synthesized with http://www.instructables.com/id/Gel-O-Shot-INSIDE-A-Banana!/?ALLSTEPS

Ha ha, I love this trick. I learned about it in Penn and Teller's book: How to Play With Your Food. (recommended)

I remember this trick. 25 years ago is about right. I used to throw 4 playing cards all at once at the banana to add to it.

I remember doing this when I was a kid (about 25 years ago). Totally forgot it. I think I'm going to surprise my own kid with this today. Thanks (for the memories).
