It was called and spelled Sunday because that that was the day it was served but as it caught on they switched to sundae as it was no longer just on Sundays

    No claims for the ice cream sundae from Kansas City, only the best bbq you’ll taste. (Also, what about the story behind Kansas City being in Missouri and not Kansas)

      Uhm... it is in Kansas as well. It just spans the river. If you've been there to try the BBQ, you should know this.

    How does putting some kind of sauce on some icecream need invention? Next there will be someone who claims to have invented putting butter on a slice of bread or ketchup and majo on chips
