Amazing Fruit Trick

Have you ever heard something that seemed totally unbelievable, yet it's so ridiculous you have to think it might be true? D told me he heard you could split a banana into 3 equal parts just by pressing on the end of it. He didn't quite believe it, but really, would someone make up something like that? So I grabbed a banana, peeled it and we went all Mythbusters on it.

I found out it works better if you break off the tip naturally, rather than cut it.


 I pressed my fingertip straight down into the broken end and almost immediately it started to blossom apart into 3 segments! If you don't want to use your finger, I heard a chopstick also works.

I traced down each split with my finger and ended up with a shocking pile of 3 equal strips of banana. It was really fun to eat the strips, and cut up they're the perfect size for topping a bowl of cereal.
 Awesome! I wonder if I'll ever be able to eat a banana again without doing this to it first.
