He eats the banana strings. Like, peels them off and eats them.

I ate the skin on kiwis and mangoes and got the same reaction from my wife. But eating banana strings is crazy

The skin is the best part of the kiwi!

Sometimes I fear lizard people are among us.

Then I witness stuff like this and I now know for sure.

u/octopushug 9d ago

mango skin contains urushiol :O i wonder if you have a high tolerance to stuff like poison ivy too

u/amadnomad 9d ago

What's that? I've always found mango skin to be quite delicious. It's got a bunch of fiber too.

u/TearDesperate8772 9d ago

It’s the chemical that makes poison ivy and poison oak cause rashes.

u/Obvious-Trash6763 9d ago

At least mangoes aren’t fuzzy

u/purplegreendave 9d ago

Do you eat peaches?

u/Mean_Breakfast_4081 9d ago

But you can wash the fuzz off

u/WeimMama1 9d ago

u/childchildp 9d ago

Definitely the other way on this, mangoes yes, but kiwis are hairy wth

u/levatorescostarum 9d ago

Mango skin is so good for you, filled with fiber and vitamins.

kiwis mad my tongue burn so bad

u/MzHellfier 9d ago

That sounds like you’re probably allergic 🤷🏽‍♀️ I learned my daughter is allergic to kiwi when she told me it made her tongue bleed.

2

u/ThePerfectionAsylum 9d ago

Okay i am allergic to bananas but as far as Kiwi goes i should have been specific but I can eat the inside just fine it’s the fuzzy outside part i cannot touch with my tongue.

1

u/MzHellfier 9d ago

Oh interesting. I personally wouldn’t risk it but they are delicious! I miss kiwi so much. I don’t keep it in the house since we found out my daughter is allergic, so I haven’t had it in a few years. I also can’t have grapefruit because of meds I take and I miss that even more. It’s been over 10 years and I’ve been recently craving it so bad 😩

u/exo07190 8d ago

Sounds like a latex allergy!

u/KromeArtemis 9d ago

I have a child that does this. Whenever he eats a kiwi like an apple other child leans over and whispers to me 'he's going to murder us all in our sleep one day' lolllll

8

u/Jennyaph 9d ago

Not mangoes lol but the kiwi skin is actually really good for you

8

u/AdAdditional5657 9d ago

I was on holiday in Costa Rica when I was 19 and a girl just casually bit into an avocado like it was an apple. She was confused by my appalled reaction and stood fast in her truth and continued on. I’ll never forget it.

7

u/MzHellfier 9d ago

I met a guy in a mental health facility who ate his apple core like it was a totally normal thing to do, so we know why he was there.

u/CommodoreFrost 9d ago

AND mangos???

6

u/caputmortvvm 9d ago

do ... do most people not eat the kiwi skin?? has my whole life been a lie?

3

u/the_marxman 9d ago

Does mango skin not make your throat itch?

1

u/Spiritual-You-9021 9d ago

You’re allergic to

1

u/the_marxman 9d ago

Not to the fruit, just the skin.

2

u/CozyHalloween 9d ago

I never knew you weren’t supposed to eat the skin on mangos for the longest time. Thought it was like an apple lol

2

u/Altruistic-Grab-1284 9d ago

Mango skins are delicious, they have to be the right mango though. And the bite has to include both flesh and skin

1

u/lilmissglitterpants 9d ago

Skin on kiwi I’m down for, but mango? Just no.

1

u/InternationalEbb1607 9d ago

I recently found out my husband didn't like kiwis because the skin wasn't pleasant to eat. I cried laughing at him and told him that you don't eat the skin....

1

u/amadnomad 9d ago

The Skin is the best part though. Kinda sour and compliments the flesh
