Banana Split DecisionIn 1904, a soda fountain served the first banana split—a dish of three scoops

of ice cream drizzled with toppings, heaped between a halved banana andgarnished with whipped cream, nuts and a maraschino cherry. Latrobe, Pa., iscredited with being the first place to dish up the dessert, but Wilmington, Ohio,also claims to be the confection’s birthplace.
