Hmm.

It never occurred to do this because there is nothing obvious to grab onto, but I guess the squeezing the bottom is supposed to solve that problem.

I shall try to remember this next time I eat a banana.

He's put a superfluous apostrophe in there. It should read, "For those who eat bananas."

Rather amusingly, this is referred to as a "greengrocer's apostrophe."

The texture of apples is the culinary equivalent of nails on a chalkboard.

If you get rheumatism, don't eat bananas in damp weather, they add to the pain. High inflammatory level or something.

Ha ha, awesomeness. Also you can divide a banana evenly into thirds by putting your finger on the end and pushing it down the centre. The fruit just splits into three segments lengthways.

Sometimes bananas are ok, and sometimes they taste too cloying.

I did not eat bananas for 30+ years, until I tried one sliced up and mixed with dry cereal. Now, can't get enough! Seriously good.
