I open bananas from the blossom end instead of the stem end because it's easier

Most modern apple varieties have soft enough cores to eat, so I eat them (not the seeds though)

I eat kiwi skin because I enjoy the fuzzy texture (I don't even have a rationalization even I think it's weird)

basically I make everyone uncomfortable when I eat fruit lol

    I've never heard someone call it the "blossom end", I've always known it to be called the Bananus (banana anus). I think monkeys typically open it on the same end rather than from the stem.

    The kiwi skin on is actually very fibrous, I know someone that was constipated during pregnancy and the only thing that would clear them out was kiwis with skin on!

    Yeah, monkeys open it from the non stem end, and they eat a lot of bananas, so I think they are correct, and the humans are wrong. Also rip reap bananas are almost impossible to open by breaking the stem - I grab a knife to make a cut at the base of the stem if the banana has reached that point.

    If you haven't cut your nails in a couple of days, you can use them to cut into the stem a bit before tearing it off

    wow, just how fast do your fingernails grow ? I don't see a noticeable change in their length in less than a week's time

    A normal speed? I think I get a week and a half between trimmings. You don't need much fingernail to do it, just enough to be able to push an edge in

    I eat watermelon seeds. Watermelon not hard enough to need to bite down hard and it's too time consuming to spit out every seeds. They do not collect anywhere in the GI track.

    I also enjoy the kiwi skin. Witnesses are almost universally disgusted and some are ready to throw hands.
