remember that sweet ass tv show the banana splits? some of you may know the awesomeness i speak of, but for most of you eat!drink!snack! readers, who i assume skew heavily tween, you have absolutely no idea what i'm talking about. let me lay it out for you. there was this hanna-barbera variety show back in '68 & '69 called the banana splits that featured four animal characters (people dressed in sid & marty kroft-designed costumes) who were in a band called the banana splits. the show was part live action, part cartoons & part segments where the banana splits got into wacky situations & occasionally rocked out. when i was a kid, it was on in reruns & i ate that shizz up.
