"Sugar ‘n Spice, the Balboa Island banana stand that inspired Arrested Development’s Bluth’s Original Banana Stand, is up for sale according to a report from The Mercury News. The Newport Beach property is listed for $3.495 million, plus an additional $1.5 million for the business. The listing includes a three-bedroom, two-bathroom residential unit. The stand first opened in 1945 as Dot & Bob Candies owned by Bob and Dorothy Cook. The frozen fudge-dipped banana was born by accident when one day their son put a banana in the freezer instead of the refrigerator. Instead of throwing it away, they decided to dip it in chocolate and sprinkle on toppings. For now, the future of Sugar ‘n Spice is unknown, but the current owners hope the next owners will keep the banana stand running." - Rebecca Roland
