National Banana Split Day is celebrated every year in the United States on Aug. 25 to recognize the sweet ice cream treat that is served with bananas, cream and various delicious toppings.

Celebrate the day by going to a local ice cream parlor and grabbing the dessert. You can also make banana split at home. In order to do so, take a banana and cut it lengthwise. Then, place it in a dish and add scoops of various ice creams between the slices. Add toppings, drizzle chocolate or strawberry syrup over it and garnish it with whipped cream and maraschino cherries.

On this occasion, here are a few quotes about the ice cream treat, courtesy Quotessayings.

  • "Personally, I like to mix and match. I prefer to get a couple of milk shakes, a banana split ... a sundae or two. Then I top it off with a mocha chip in a cone. I don't know why. I guess that's like the dinner mint at the end of a meal to me. Know what I mean?" — J.R. Ward
  • "A book without potty humor is like a banana split without hot fudge. It can still be good, I suppose, but you kinda get the feeling that something is missing." — Dav Pilkey
  • "For lunch my colleagues and I each ate the equivalent of a double banana split. I told my wife I had two bananas for lunch...I failed to mention I had to eat my way through five pounds of ice cream to get to those bananas." — Dan Adams
  • "As for literary criticism in general: I have long felt that any reviewer who expresses rage and loathing for a novel or a play or a poem is preposterous. He or she is like a person who has put on full armor and attacked a hot fudge sundae or a banana split." — Kurt Vonnegut
  • "There is a tray full of glass sundae dishes filled with brightly colored ice cream. Strawberry, pistachio, black raspberry. Pink, green, and purple. I like the colors next to each other and wonder what kind of impossible things I can draw about ice cream. Maybe melting rivers of it. And a man with a cone-shaped head sitting in a banana split dish rowing with a spoon." — Lynda Mullaly Hunt
