How many calories: in a banana split?

How Many Calories?

Yesterday, the temperature in my hometown hit 90 degrees for the first time since last summer. There's certain things the first taste of hot weather makes me crave, like swimming (healthy!) and a big, sloppy banana split (not so healthy.)

The original banana split recipe is a force to be reckoned with: three scoops of ice cream, a whole banana, chocolate, strawberry, and pineapple sauces, whip cream and maraschino cherries.

Somehow I managed to control my urges yesterday but frankly I'm not sure how much longer I'll last! So, I need to know, how many calories are in an old-fashioned banana split?

A) 650 calories
B) 850 calories
C) 1000 calories
D) 1300 calories
