\n

A viral video of a man peeling a banana and tossing the peel before he places it in a produce bag and sets it on a self-checkout kiosk<\/a> scale has sparked a conversation on TikTok.<\/p>\n

The eight-second clip was uploaded in late May by an account called “Saving for Boba,” which is run by Australian content creators Mason and Mai, who live on the Oceania county\u2019s Gold Coast, has garnered nearly 850,000 views<\/a> on the video-sharing app.<\/p>\n

“How my frugal boyfriend saves money on his bananas,” the video\u2019s onscreen text reads with an accompanying sad face emoji.<\/p>\n

The text is read aloud by TikTok\u2019s text-to-speech feature, and the video is set to snippet of Usher singing an a cappella version of his hit song “U Got it Bad,” a trending sound on the app, where the famous singer belts out multiple “no\u2019s.”<\/p>\n

“The secondhand embarrassment tho,” the video caption goes on.<\/p>\n

Fox News Digital reached out to Mason and Mai for comment on whether one half of the duo legitimately removes peels from bananas as a cost-saving measure.<\/a><\/p>\n

In their TikTok bio, the pair lists life hacks,<\/a> reviews and comedy as their main focus.<\/p>\n

The video has received over 22,200 likes, 6,450 shares, 890 comments and 780 saves, according to engagement data displayed under the post.<\/p>\n

“Break up w him,” the post\u2019s top commenter wrote, which received over 12,000 likes.<\/p>\n

“Marry him,”<\/a> another TikTok user wrote.<\/p>\n

Many of the commenters under the viral TikTok video seem to not be fans of the reported money-saving tactic.<\/p>\n

“That\u2019s not frugal, that\u2019s a Penny pincher,” one user wrote.<\/p>\n

“Tell him to just weigh it without the bag too at this point,” another user wrote.<\/p>\n

“That would be illegal,” another user added.<\/p>\n

“Someone had to haul the whole thing with the skin on,” another user wrote. “So that’s what you pay for!”<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve ever spent more than 2 dollars on bananas,” one user commented.<\/p>\n

Multiple TikTok users also pointed out that banana peels are “actually edible.”<\/a><\/p>\n

Supporters of the unorthodox peel-removal method appear to be few and far between, but some shared their benevolent thoughts in the comments section.<\/p>\n

“The peel accounts for 31 to 33% of the total weight of the banana,”<\/a> one TikTok user wrote. “So bro is getting 33% off”<\/p>\n

“[Not going to lie,] I thought about this,” another user admitted.<\/p>\n
