The Stock Market Crunch   ROCKY ROAD ice cream coated in thick peanut butter sauce and paved with crumbled salt pretzels.

Broken Hearts   {Recipe taken from The Dispenser's Formulary, 1910} "Put a slice of BRICK VANILLA ice cream on a 6-inch plate. Cover the ice cream with fresh, sweetened, and slightly mashed strawberries, and over these put sweetened whipped cream; top off with two whole strawberries and serve with two nabisco wafers. Sells for 20 cents. {F. Varney.}"	7.00
Spilts
Dr. Dovey's Classic Banana Spilt   In a proper banana boat is placed a banana, SPLIT lengthwise with one scoop each of VANILLA, STRAWBERRY and CHOCOLATE ice creams covered in crushed pineapple, strawberry topping and chocolate syrup, garnished with whipped cream, chopped nuts and two marashino cherries. Originated in 1904 by pharmacist David Strickler in Latrobe, PA. An apprentice, Howard Dovey, brought the BANANA SPLIT to PHILADELPHIA where he attended medical school. Dr. Dovey is credited with popularizing the FAMOUS dessert by instructing PHILADELPHIA soda dispensers on how to make a SPLIT properly. We hope he'd be proud of ours, served in an authentic period	10.00
You May Fire When You Are Ready, Gridley   In a boat of crushed cherries, COCONUT, TEABERRY and PISTACHIO ice creams are arranged and topped with fresh whipped cream, blueberries and COMMANDED BY ADMIRAL DEWEY at the helm, masquerading as a BANANA.
