National Banana Split Day – August 25, 2022, history, quotes
Go bananas, because on August 25, it’s National Banana Split Day! Give your taste buds the thrill of delicious ice cream and luscious chocolate covering a fresh banana topped off with nuts, a cherry and whipped cream.
Surprisingly, the original banana split wasn’t created in an ice cream parlor but in a pharmacy in 1904. Banana splits were the brainchild of David Evans Strickler, a pharmacist’s apprentice who enjoyed experimenting with new soda fountain sundaes in his free time. They were so popular with the college crowd that students willingly paid 10 cents, double the price of a normal sundae. Try a banana split today and you’ll understand why this amazing dessert is a classic!

HISTORY OF NATIONAL BANANA SPLIT DAY
The history and origin of the National Banana Split Day date back centuries ago. David Evans Stickler prepared the first Banana Split in 1904. A 23-year-old David Evans Stickle was working as an apprentice pharmacist at Pennsylvania’s Tassel Pharmacy in Latrobe. Most pharmacies of that day David’s drug store had a soda fountain attached.

He enjoyed experimenting with the new soda fountain sundaes during his free time. It was the same pharmacy where he invented the banana split. The banana split dessert combo has attracted the students of Saint Vincent College nearby the pharmacy. The acceptance of the dessert had soon become a hit among the people of America. His first banana-based triple ice cream sundae was sold for 10 cents, which was double the cost of all the other sundaes.
Traditionally Banana Split will be served in a long dish, called a boat. The boat has a banana cut in half lengthwise and the scoops of strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate ice cream placed in between the two slices. Hence the name Banana Split. The strawberry ice cream has a pineapple topping.
The chocolate syrup will be poured on the vanilla ice cream, and chocolate ice cream has a strawberry topping. Now swirl the whipped cream over each ice cream scoop. The entire boat will be garnished with crushed nuts and maraschino cherries. Lately, in 2004, Latrobe had hosted the 100th anniversary of the Banana Split. NICRA (National Ice Cream Retailers Association) on the same year certified it as the birthplace of the banana split.
What’s done is done. What’s gone is gone. One of life’s lessons is always moving on. It’s okay to look back to see how far you’ve come but keep moving forward.
