We went full-on bananas for #NationalBananaSplitDay this year donating 9,600 DOLE® Bananas for an entire weekend of events celebrated with Giant Eagle, Inc., and the city of Latrobe, PA, the birthplace of the banana split. From serving scoopfuls of DOLE® Banana splits at the Giant Eagle corporate office, to sharing out hundreds of DOLE® Bananas at the Latrobe Giant Eagle, the multiple Bobby Banana appearances throughout the city and on the news, the 5K Banana Run, and the Great American Banana Split Festival - the team had a blast! We even kicked off the inaugural Dole Great American Banana Challenge where we saw challengers attempt to eat as many bananas as possible in 125 seconds (honoring our own Banana-Versary), with the winner eating 11! Needless to say, we are excited for next year. See you there! #CommunityEvents #Bananas #Produce #Retail #GreatAmericanBananaSplitFestival #DoleEvents #Local #Partnership #Mascots
