Nancy's Mid-City Woolworth's Banana Split

(When I was a child, the local woolie's had a lovely soda fountain. One of their gimicks to sell banana splits, was to have the customer pop a balloon. Inside the balloon, was a special price they'd pay for their treat: from .01 cent to .99 cents. This recipe recreates the Woolworth's banana split...and hopefully, some childhood memories)---Nancy G.

1 scoop vanilla ice cream
1 scoop chocolate ice cream
1 scoop strawberry ice cream
1 banana, peeled and split in half
