If learning how to slice a watermelon like a pro wasn’t enough to earn you the adoration of everybody at the barbecues this summer, this Filipino guy in Davao City may have the cut to put you over. 

Recorded at the Bankerohan market, this unnamed fruit surgeon applies an advanced technique to a pineapple, extracting the full contents of the tropical fruit in just 50 seconds.

Most impressive is the way in which all the chunks of sweet, citrusy goodness stay contained within the framework of the fruit until the last second, at which point he empties the contents into a bag—with nothing getting lost.

It’s impressive. We wonder if he and the watermelon man have ever met.
