In a viral video, British etiquette coach William Hanson—demonstrates a posh method for eating a banana. He starts by slicing off both ends, then scoring the peel lengthwise. Next, he gently peels it back and uses a fork (not your hands) to cut and eat bite‑sized piece. Hanson insists this is “the only way you should be eating a banana,” warning against peeling it “like a primate.” The video went viral fast—11 million views on Instagram and over 200 K comments. Many viewers were amused or annoyed. One wrote: “He peels a banana like he’s disarming a nuclear device.” Another shot back: “I’m not doing extra dishes for a banana, William.” Humorous digs included, “Imagine doing this in a school cafeteria—you’d be pelted with grapes. Critics say it’s impractical and over‑the‑top. A station joked it’s like that Seinfeld episode where George eats a candy bar with cutlery. Hanson is brushing off the comments with grace.
