The impressive and often enormous "banana split" may be the king of all sundaes, with ice cream shops scooping them out in record numbers when the weather warms. Because banana splits are so large, they're often the perfect desserts to share on date night. When taking a spoonful of banana split, some people may ponder where this sweet reward came from. As with many food origin stories, various people lay claim as the inventor of the banana split. A trusted historical account points to Latrobe, Pa. as the home of the fi rst banana split. Legend has it that Latrobe pharmacy owner David Strickler sliced a banana in two, added scoops of vanilla, chocolate and strawberry ice cream, three kinds of fl avored toppings, and whipped cream in 1904. Strickler also enlisted the help of a glassmaker to create the fi rst "banana boat" vessel to house his newfangled dessert. Other cities, including Boston and Wilmington, Ohio, also claim to be birthplaces of this beloved dessert. In fact, Wilmington holds fast to their banana split creation story and even hosts its annual Banana Split Festival. Even though these dessert giants battled it out as banana split inventors, Walgreens pharmacy ultimately is credited with helping to make banana splits popular across the country after adopting the dish as the pharmacy's signature dessert. There's never a wrong time to enjoy a banana split, but they're especially tempting in summer.
