Box 29 Comedy News Gorilla tells humans the truth about peeling a banana
As a human, we like to think that we have mastered even the simplest tasks in life. And one of those tasks, undoubtedly, is peeling a banana. However, have you ever stopped to think if you're doing it the right way?
First off, forget about the stem. Don't waste your energy trying to pinch it off. The real trick is to approach the banana from the "bottom end" (excuse the pun). Pinch the tip until the skin breaks open like a zipper. Then, gently peel it down with your fingers. Voila! You have mastered the art of banana peeling.
But why do we even bother with this task? After all, monkeys have been peeling bananas for centuries without any instruction manuals. And here's the truth about why they peel their bananas differently than humans.
It all comes down to evolution. Monkeys in the wild developed their way of peeling based on survival instincts. They quickly learned that peeling the banana from the top exposed the fruit to the harsh elements, insects, and predators. In contrast, peeling the banana from the bottom provided a protective shield for the fruit, keeping it safe and edible.
However, humans have been mass-producing bananas for consumption, often turning to the overripe and mushiest fruit. This scenario meant that a reverse peel from the stem - was more efficient. The stem acted as a handle, something to grip as you unraveled the peel. It's essential to remember that most wild monkeys and apes aren't out seeking out their bananas for a go-to snack in hunger. Nearly half of their diet is made up of leaves, twigs, and fruit. Bananas are a lucky occurrence, not a staple for sustenance.
Overall, in terms of efficiency, peeling a banana from the stem may work well for us as humans. But next time you're in the jungle, don't be surprised if a monkey shows you up with their impressively practical peeling technique.
