Chef’s Note: Can you imagine being a kid and being told you’re going to be treated to a BATMAN-THEMED BANANA SPLIT BREAKFAST and then this sad caricature of a sundae shows up?
Cottage cheese? Wheat germ? Raisins??? You might as well go ahead and add broccoli and brussel sprouts at this point. As a scholar, I try to remain objective and non-prescriptivist in my observations, but c’mon! It’s moments like this that form the origin story of many a supervillain, I have no doubt.
I also have no doubt that Dr. Dave would be quite consternated to see his beloved creation perverted so.
Chef’s Note: While I mourn for all the children who were forced to eat this, I will say I am suitably impressed with Batman’s skill using a batarang to split the bananas!
Chef’s Note: Happy National Banana Split Day!
