The following is a hilarious double entendre: He served his banana splits with the bananas unpeeled until he discovered that ladies preferred them peeled.

But is it true? (I don't believe it. Unpeeled, split bananas covered in ice cream and toppings? No one is that foolish.)

If the banana split was invented in 1904, how could its centennial be celebrated the same year?

---

I believe that originally, the bananas weren't cut in half. They were split in thirds by hand....as shown in the video on this page.

I think the picture should be removed. It is not a banana split. Not because it served in a strange container as the caption points out, but because it does not have the toppings on it. The picture adds nothing. It does not look like a banana split, nor does it even show all the ingredients. What is its purpose then?

As it says: variations aboud. This is the sort of banana split I was brought up on, just banana cut in half with chocolate, strawberry and vanilla ice cream scoops and grated chocolate on top. Until a better picture is put forward, I say keep this one. —Celestianpower ^háblame 12:12, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

I updated the image. The other was horrendous.
