Most kitchen “gadgets” that are effectively an alternative to the classic combination of a knife and cutting board (such as this one) are typically assistive devices for those unable to safely/effectively operate a knife. Even though a dull table knife would generally be more than sufficient to cut a banana, not everybody can so much as properly grip one.
While I agree that assistive devices are necessary, and this could be used as one, I highly doubt that it was invented for that purpose.
Maybe
I suspect that it is for children to use so they don’t have to use a knife. Then again, I don’t know the last time I ever saw a child prepare their own food.
I almost never slice bananas for my kids, I just start the peel and they take it from there. The only time I slice is if I put it on a peanut butter sandwich or something.
OK, I get an egg slicer, just because they’re actually a pain in the ass to slice by hand. But this? This is ridiculous.

Kids. It’s safer than a knife for kids.
Well, most kids.
my kid managed to go full cenobite on himself with an apple slicer, but luckily it was only plastic.

If you can’t properly grip a knife, what will you use to eat the slices? Surely just holding the banana is easier, no?
Yeah exactly what would that thing even be used for? Please don’t tell me it’s for a banana.
I am so sorry.
Haha, it gets even better:
That right there is on a whole other level of shitposting
This makes me sad.
holy shit, Matts video is even better, I wish I could link to it directly…
Wow
