""You have to be careful with articles," Newport Beach historian Celeste Dennerline said, "... because there's a lot of misinformation.""
""Just as Don was about to toss those frozen-stiff bananas into the garbage, Bob stopped him. He had the idea to dip them in warm fudge and cover them with toppings such as English toffee crumbs and chopped peanuts.""
Frozen bananas are a popular treat on Balboa Island, especially on Marine Avenue. They are part of the island's history, with claims of their invention by local businesses. Dad's Donut Shop & Bakery and Sugar 'n Spice both have narratives about their origins. Sugar 'n Spice's story involves a mistake with frozen bananas leading to the creation of the Original Frozen Banana. Despite the myths surrounding their history, these treats remain a beloved part of the island's culture.
