How do you mean? Like not at all?
As you noticed it isn't the actual code, but I thought it would reflect it 
though.

Yay, thanks!
Now that you mention it, I think I've had this problem before :/
even though it is really logical, thx again.

In stead of numbers I use an enum, which makes it really difficult to get 
this wrong:
fruits[BANANA].peel();
:D
Now that I got this out of the way I see peel() should be public.
