That's bananas. i'll leave now.

I read recently that your show introduced "Here's one I prepared earlier" to the Australian TV lexicon, and cooking shows have been using it ever since.

I'm not entirely sure why but these videos just warm my heart. This show is so sweet

you could also just swing the needle around, which would only require 1 hole per slice and no thread required either, and probably faster too

Since ive adopted this technique, ive saved -20minutes of my life per banana i preslice 👍

A trick you can try with your friends.... 😂

This takes me back. I half-remember this either from a printed section in New Idea (Curiosity Show plus Humphrey B Bear)... or from a Curiosity Show Book. Did Curiosity Show ever do books? Maybe it was just my personal collection of torn out pages. Would really be something interesting if I still had it (maybe the National Library some day will digitise all their magazine archive). The Illustrations were very well done, and were a great compliment to the show, especially before VCRs where some experiments needed some detailed instruction. The only other remember in the series was making an electro-magnet, but instead of wire, you'd "make" your own wire using sticky tape, and thin strips of aluminium foil. Heaps of fun over the Summer Holidays as a kid doing that stuff.

If you dab the needle holes with lemon juice, will that delay them from darkening?

I remember watching this as a kid and being blown away, even if it was just for a moment as my gullible young self really believed that fruit technology had made a pre sliced banana. Now watching it, it is very clear that the banana has been interfered with. There are so many of these clips that are memories stored deep in my head and that happily flood back and remind me of my childhood as I watch them. Thank you so much for bringing these back into my life.

Shari Lewis taught me this one in “You Can Do It,” except it was just by swinging the needle inside the banana. No thread needed. 🍌

This technique also works wonders for performing a reverse circumcision

Try this on your banana-eating friends

I Love Deane's shirt ❤

I have such a strong memory of this as a little boy. My Nanna was a seamstress and I took an upholstery needle and thread and I tried this. I was so small I had to pull a chair up to her kitchen bench to see. There was no rewind or playback available back then. And my tiny brain struggled to remember where he’d poked the holes. It only took 2 bananas to a reasonable result. I guess over the last 40+ years I have thought about this clip a few hundred times when I am about to peel a banana. I showed my own sons 25 years ago this same trick. I’m sure my eldest son will show his own, as he tends to share the experiences I gave him with his own kids.

Ray Comfort flashbacks.

I did this when I was like 12- My brother's band was doing practice. They were all high AF and experienced severe brainlock when I peeled that thing

I can remember seeing this at the time - I used to do this trick.

0:15 "New kind of BahNArna" Love this channel btw!

I remember watching this episode as a kid! Played the sliced banana trick on my mum 😂 Loving this channel, thank you 🙏 ❤

If crafty panda did this we would call them names and be horrible

complicated way to do it but i guess it works

Just use a stainless needle stick it in and move from side to side.

But what will I do with all the time I saved?

I remember showing this to my parents. They were impressed but the bruising made it pretty obvious.

That doesn’t seem very sanitary

This is a doom-scroll 3AM video before they existed.

Here's an idea 💡 I don't wanna shock everyone here with sheer scientific genius but you could just peel it and slice it 😮might be a bit too crazy and maverick 😂😂😂

If you have to do it yourself then it’s not “pre”

You peeled the banana from the wrong end. Try flipping the banana next time. 1 it’s easier to peel from the other end 2 you’re left with a stem as a handle if you do it the right way 3 you don’t get that strange last bite

Do people eat sliced bananas? Or what is the point in slicing them?

Neat!

thats easy to do 😊

Woah

how do you explain this, atheists? 😅

Khabe lame needs to do a video about this!!!... Just peel and eat bro

people of Queensland is called banana benders :3

How about just eat the banana 🍌 simple...I don't think u should play with ur food mr 😅

One of the dumbest thing i've ever seen. It's obvious what was done by all the holes...

First !

Slow day down under it seems 😂

Possibly the most tedious way to waste time ever conceived.

Seems like a frivolous endeavor but whatever

jobless energy

You don’t need the thread, you can do it with just a needle, just poke it in & move it round in an ark, it’s much quicker to do it that way.

What a waste of time😂
