Over your entire lifetime, how much thought have you given to peeling ... anything? Probably no more than a couple minutes. Which is a shame, because it turns out peeling doesn't have to involve a lot of work or any equipment.
Take the banana. While many people try to pick the peel off at the top, monkeys have an entirely different system:
Then there's peeling the potato.

Handy tips! I don't know that I'd go through all that boiling time with the potato unless I was making a large amount, because it only takes me about 30 seconds to peel one with a peeler, but it's an interesting idea.
I'm very curious about the egg thing, though. Particularly because I'm on a hard-boiled egg kick lately. Hmmm...

I've given that upside-down banana peeling a lot of tries, and I don't see any difference at all. I still get the little strings.

I read an interview with a chef from Pachamama's in Lawrence IIRC, where he spoke of peeling ginger with a spoon. It works great.
