'Banana Split Decision.' It's a split decision, and it's decided by the readers as they get a chance to choose the direction of this story! Jughead simply doesn't want to pay up on the empty promise he made to Ethel to take her out on a date. Readers can alternate between pages depicting two separate directions for the story - one where Jughead ducks into Dilton's laboratory to avoid Ethel, the other where Jughead toughs it out and actually goes on the date with Ethel! Each choice leads to another and another - and is of course packed with laughs and adventure! Then, amateur investigators Chuck and Archie have a genuine mystery on their hands - not only has Jughead gotten a top-secret job, he's stopped wearing his trademark crown hat, too! Can this mother of all mysteries be solved?
