Banana split

It all started in Pennsylvania, when a 23 year old American, David Evans Strickler, tried inventing this dessert. He always loved inventing sundaes, and one day he came with an idea of banana based triple ice cream sundae in 1904. It originally cost twice the price of other sundaes. It became popular in the year 1907, when many restaurants adopted this as their signature dessert in order to attract students and kids. Further, the experiment was taken to the next level by our mommies when banana split ice cream was redefined into a liquid form. This came to be known as a banana split smoothie. This is super hit among kids and makes a cool drink in the hot summer. So you can beat the heat this summer with a banana split smoothie.
