CMV: bananas are better than apples.

Bananas are softer than apples. Therefore it takes less effort to eat a banana than an apple. If I am tired and I just want to eat something in a stress-free way then it's easier to eat a banana than an apple. This also makes slicing bananas easier than slicing apples.

Good point. All I can really say is, some people dislike the gooey texture.

The shape of a banana makes it easier to eat than an apple. Apples are round and too big to fit in the mouth. Bananas are nearly cylindrical and they're thin enough to fit in your mouth.

The shape of things isn't a good argument on why you should or shouldn't eat them. A bunch of vegetables have weird ass shapes, that's why we chop them up.

When eating an apple, apple juice goes everywhere and leaves a mess. Juice doesn't come out of a banana when biting into it, making bananas easier to eat.

Well, yeah, but you're ignoring something, the Banana DOESN'T have juice, that gives apples a totally different set of properties, that means the apple is refreshing, the banana isn't, that's why apple juice is a thing and banana is just on things like yogurt, also I don't know how popular jam is on the US but apple jam is fucking tasty, banana jam, not so much.

Bananas don't have a core to avoid like apples do. While I know that technically you can eat the core, it doesn't taste as good as the rest of the apple.

Appels don't have a skin to peel like Banans do. While I know that technically you can eat the skin, it doesn't taste as good as the rest of the Banana.

For reference, my favorite fruit is the watermelon, and that one taste worse and worse the farther from the top (or center) you eat. I don't think that's a good argument.

So the only real argument here is that Bananas are softer, and maybe the fact apples have juice, but that isn't really a con, you can't say it's objectively worse. The fact that bananas are soft being a good thing is something I guess 90% of people will agree.

BUT here are some arguments on why the apple might be better for some people:

  • It's cheaper, at least in my country.
  • It's a staple, A is for apple and all that, it's the symbol that represents fruit all over the world, apples are a classic.
  • On my last point, Apple Pie.
  • Apples have less calories and more antioxidants while the banan has more potassium, depending on what you're looking for apples might be better.
  • Yellow is the worst color.
  • They are easier to throw.
  • They are good to remove theet.
  • Everyone, from the Marylin Manson, Ahmad Jamal, Flaming Lips, Erykah Badu, Travis Scott, Destiny's Child, Idris Muhammad and even The White Stripes have songs about apples.
  • Only people that make songs about bananas are weird ass people and Brasilians, like Ween, George Clinton, Ney Matogrosso and Fela Kuti.
  • People make fun of you when they see you eating bananas. People assume you're healthy when they see you eating apples.

How do you like them apples?
