// this is good , just wanted to hear another opinion. Thank you.


var results = [];
  while (array.length) {
    results.push(array.splice(0, size));
  }
  return results;

Juan, are you having a conversation with yourself :)

I don't see how the comment you posted fits with your question.

You can do like this
var arr = ['apples', 'banana', 'oranges', 'kiwi'];
var newarr = [arr.slice(0,2), arr.slice(2)];

Open in new window

The generic version - split any array in two
var arr = ['apples', 'banana', 'oranges', 'kiwi'];
var mid = arr.length >> 1;
var newarr = [arr.slice(0,mid),arr.slice(mid)];

Open in new window
