For a moment I thought we were celebrating National Banana Republic Day.

Oh I used to love banana splits when I was a child! But they cost a quarter! So to have one was a rare luxury.

THAT'S what I came for!

As a young kid, that show, along with H.R. Pufnstuf, was the fuel for many nightmares. I guess those shows are what you get when your writers and producers are doing a lot of drugs.

Yes, and that infuriates me. What has been done to the US economy is unconscionable!

I remember our neighborhood Dairy Queen banana splits. The local owner used to give us kids extra toppings.

Banana split for my baby, glass of plain water for me!

A Five & Dime chain where I grew up tied bunches of balloons to the coat tree at each booth, with tiny slips of paper with different prices on them inserted in each balloon.

If you wanted to take a chance the waitress would pop your balloon and you paid the price inside for your banana split.

Getting your split for a nickle was always a great day, lol.

What - no butterscotch topping?
Either that is wrong or my definition of a banana split is wrong!

I think that was the chain, I was from N. Ohio, SE Mich.

It was a great place to grow up, small town America at it’s best, Main Street, lakes, woods, streams, fields, ice fishing, finding arrowheads, Scouting, Little League baseball, the ‘68 Tigers, sigh.

I hate bananas and chocolate, so this is not a great day for me. I’ll withhold a barf alert because I like the people who eat that stuff
