Happy Nat’l Banana Split Day!

Contributing Blogger

If you’ve ever read those National Day calendars, you know that there is literally a “day” for everything. Well, August 25th is National Banana Split Day.

You might be thinking to yourself, why would an entire National Day be given to banana splits? With Labor Day and Back to School upon us, I can think of no better way to celebrate the close of summer than with friends, family and banana splits!

The banana split is always a crowd pleaser and has been since its recorded origin in the early 1900s. This very popular dessert is a spin-off of the traditional ice cream sundae, typically differentiated by its clever little serving vessel referred to as the “banana boat” dish.

Banana splits are easy to make. But, there are literally endless arrays of options for toppings.

Well, I certainly have! And, I think the designers of this fabulous Mohawk Home* rug below had banana splits on the brain when they came up with the cool, crisp pattern of this Mohawk Home Ella Zig Zag Rug in banana yellow. 🙂
