"Traditional" or "Classic" banana splits

[uebermann]

So just got into an argument at work about what a "Traditional" or "classic" banana split involves.

Basically the major difference being the inclusion or exclusion of pineapples.

So one side: Banana split down the middle with 1 scoop of vanilla, chocolate, strawberry ice creams with chocolate sauce and whipped cream

Other side: Banana split down the middle with 1 scoop of vanilla, chocolate, strawberry ice creams with 3 different fruit/sauces (strawberry sauce, chocolate sauce, pineapples or pineapple sauce), and whipped cream

Nuts may or may not be included.

Which is correct?

[Professor]

The one that comes with rare ribeye steak, no ice cream and no bananas.

Pineapple sauce? What the f**k? It isn't a goddamned poundcake.

Pineapple: ruining amazing dishes for a hundred plus years.

[The Comrade]

classic toppings are cherry, whipped cream, chopped walnuts, and pineapple.

classic toppings are disgusting.

[The Dharma Bum]

fresh pineapple is amazing

[Mr.Bill]

Take it from the old fvck, and a Banana split gourmet. Pineapple is CLASSIC. I had that on my Banana splits when I was a kid.

It's not a banana split without pineapple.

[The Comrade]

pineapple ruins dessert. carrot cake would be my absolute favorite cake if it didn't have pineapple in it, ruining it.
