About this listen
Did you know that the Banana Split was invented in a small pharmacy in 1904? This iconic dessert, with its perfect combination of banana, ice cream, whipped cream, and a cherry on top, has been a symbol of American culture for over a century. But its history hides disputes over its origin and an unexpected evolution.
In this video, we explore the origins of the Banana Split, how each ingredient traveled the world before coming together in this delicious treat, and the controversies over who really invented it. Discover how it went from being the creation of a young soda jerk to becoming a phenomenon in gastronomy and pop culture.
