On August 25, indulge yourself with a banana split, a delicious ice cream-based dessert, as the National Banana Split Day is celebrated on this date.

Apparently first invented in 1904 by David Evans Stricklerm from Pennsylvania, an apprentice pharmacist who enjoyed creating sundaes. They became a huge hit with local students. Word of this popular, calorie filled delight soon spread and others began imitating his creation. Hence, the Banana Split was born!
