It's National Banana Split Day, and we are psyched to celebrate our favorite classic dessert! Here's everything you'll ever want to know about this fruity, ice creamy treat:

The banana split is yet another dessert whose roots are embroiled in controversy. (Why are there so many?) Wilmington, Ohio, for example, claims to be the home of the first banana split, created by E.R. Hazard in 1907, according to NPR.

Sorry, Ohio, but there's a little problem with this. The majority of sundae experts (apparently this is a real thing and we missed our calling) agree that the banana split was actually invented in 1904 by pharmacy clerk David Strickler in Latrobe, Pennsylvania.

Both towns continue to celebrate the dessert, although the (mostly friendly) rivalry continues year in and year out. Really though, we're thankful to both outstanding towns for giving us such a tasty dessert.
