Hot (and not) fruit takes

20 minutes

What temperature do you like your fruit? What is the correct way to peel a banana? This week on Endless Thread, Ben and Amory cherry pick a couple of the hottest fruit debates taking place on Reddit.

Show notes:

My husband is mildly infuriated that I open a banana from the antenna side! (Reddit)

CMV: The only correct way to peel and eat a banana is from the bottom. (Reddit)

Microwaving fruit is the way to go (Reddit)

I believe that fruit is better microwaved. (Reddit)
