ICE CREAMSUNDAE - In 1881, George Hallauer asked Edward C. Berner, the owner of a soda fountain at 1404 - 15th Street, to top a dish of ice cream with chocolate sauce, hitherto used only for ice creamsodas.
Reportedly, the ice creamsundae was invented on a hot Sunday at the C.C. Platt drugstore, owned by Chester C. Platt (1869-1934).
There are at least half a dozen communities in America that claim the Sundae as their own; another famous etymology traces the ice creamsundae to Ithaca, New York.
A typical sundae consists of a dish of ice cream topped with sauce or syrup (often chocolate, caramel, butterscotch, or strawberry-flavored), chopped peanuts, whipped cream, and a maraschino cherry.
Of the many stories about the invention of the sundae, one common theme is the sinfulness of the Ice CreamSoda and the need to produce a substitute for the popular treat for consumption on Sunday.
A variation of the hot fudgesundae is the banana split, which generally has two extra scoops of ice creams of different flavors, lying over a split banana.
