Banana Teardown
Quote from mbishop:
This is clever, but I've found it more effective to simply pinch the non-stem end of a banana between two fingers. It easily breaks and lets you peel back the banana, retaining the stem (like keener31).
I tried this today, and it worked great except that when I got to the end, about 1/3 of the banana fell on the floor. Luckily, it was still edible. I'll have to perfect my technique.

I just bend it off. When you pull it to the side, it pops off.
