i guess that no one found it out and every one just does it because it helps keep the juices of the onion going towards your eyes because when yo ucut an onion it lets this juice out and its attracted to water and since your eyes have water they make you cry i hope this helps. bye

∙ 15y agoRefrigerate the onion to cool the gases that make your eyes water, this causes them to move down toward the floor instead of up toward your eyes. Peel the onions in a bowl of cold water or under a running tap Peel them outside so the wind blows away the onion fumes. Or try an old wives tale which is to hold a tea spoon between the teeth in your mouth
