- Ice cream is believed to have originated around 500 BC in Persia, where ice was topped with fruit juice. The recipe using dairy products as we know it today was established in France in the 18th century. It is particularly popular in Thailand's hot climate and can be enjoyed widely, from street vendor stalls to high-end restaurants. Swensen's was founded in America in 1948 and has grown into a global chain, being especially popular in Asia where it is renowned for having many fans. The practice of adding bananas to ice cream originates from the "banana split," which began in American pharmacies where a pharmacist is said to have created a dessert combining ice cream and bananas. In any case, while the blog author seems to rely on bananas to relieve their guilt (similar to a healing spell), it seems their appetite might be immune to even the most powerful attack spells.
