awkward first bite

This may sound strange, but I've never eaten a banana in public.

I don't even like Bananas....

puts a different slant on my gag reflex whenever I eat one of those damn thins

Freud would have had a field day with this thread.

I never thought of them as phallic enough to warrant any change of eating behaviour.
I usually just begin munch my way through them without much aforethought, going "oh wow, this is far too much, how will I ever get all of this done" halfway through and then just sickly force down the rest.

PROTIP: Split'um in two in the middle and then proceed from there; that way they also PEEL THEMSELVES!

What he said.

This topic is full of win.

I just eat it like normal I take a bit, chew and swallow and continue until the banana is gone.

Here we go. I knew something was weird when you first take a bite of a banana. I just didn't know what.

I have a glass of milk with my banana.

Slice them to pieces then eat it like banana chips.

I put it in my mouth then bite it.

I have a similar problem when licking ice cream. I can feel all the women in the room raping me with their eyes.

I eat bananas at home or in my room. Never ate one in public to my knowledge.

@Rbz: fukken lol at the banana flippage.

i eat bananas in public, only in the mornings. just peel decently, bite mouthfuls from top to bottom, chew, continue biting and chewing on the banana until the edible part is gone, then throw away the peel.

but I never eat the tips of the banana (on its top and bottom). I bite them off and spit in the nearest trash bin.

I just pop the tip into my mouth and hold it for a few minutes, slowly sliding it in and out of my mouth.

Fuck it, this question shall forever be in my mind as I eat bananas from now on.

You have scarred me ;_; xD

I think he's one of those who would eat it from the side.

I rip off the top of the Banana with my NAILS then any queer who was watching would wince. "Problem" solved.

I've never really thought about it, but now that I am, I can't remember ever eating a banana in public. I doubt I would ever have an issue with doing so, but its always good to be prepared. Most likely, I'd eat it the same way I don't eat it any other time. Bananas are bananas, they shouldn't be treated any differently during consumption just because there may or may not be an audience. Same goes for people during public execution, but then again, that's people and we're talking bananas.

If I had to alter my behavior when eating a banana in public, I'd make a big fucking spectacle out of it. You know, give everyone something to talk about. First I would start crying and yelling at the banana like it was a relative or something, and come up with an elaborate story about how he sexually abused me as a child. Then I would eat it in a perceivably violent manner and yell, "You said it would be fun if I put it in my mouth, what's wrong?"

The point is, eating a banana is eating a banana. By my logic, if you're gonna treat it like something it isn't, you should make sure that you get as much attention as possible. Unless you're a really hot chick dressed like a whore, I personally don't give a shit if you're eating a banana, unless you're someone I know and I go out of my way to joke about it.

bite it from the side
