Ingredients:
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup banana liqueur
4 bananas, cut in half lengthwise, then halved
1/4 cup dark rum
4 scoops vanilla ice cream
Directions:
Combine the butter, sugar, and cinnamon in a flambé pan or skillet.
Place the pan over low heat either on an alcohol burner or on top of the stove, and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves.
Stir in the banana liqueur, then place the bananas in the pan.
When the banana sections soften and begin to brown, carefully add the rum.
Continue to cook the sauce until the rum is hot, then tip the pan slightly to ignite the rum.
When the flames subside, lift the bananas out of the pan and place four pieces over each portion of ice cream.
Generously spoon warm sauce over the top of the ice cream and serve immediately.
Serves Four

... with an outlet store. The outlet store had a pretty good-sized ice cream counter.
.
Now, this is back in the 60's when Baskin Robbins' 3-scoop banana splits probably
cost you a little under two dollars.
.
This outlet store had five-scoop (count 'em -- FIVE) strawberry sundaes for 55 cents
and six-scoop banana splits for 65 cents.

And people keep claiming they weren't REALLY the "Good Ol' Days".
