A banana split has one banana, three lumps of ice milk, crushed pineapple, strawberries, chocolate syrup and whipped cream. In two days of our forty-nine cent special, we sold five thousand splits. Businessmen want a pretty face at the counter and counter girls have personality to deal with the public.
