This pie is a classic for a reason. It's simple to make, yet always impressive. The meringue is always a crowd-pleaser, and the banana filling is creamy and delicious. I love that it can be made ahead of time, too.

This pie is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I think I'll try using less sugar in the filling next time.

This pie is a great way to use up ripe bananas. The meringue is light and fluffy, and the filling is creamy and flavorful. I love the combination of the banana and the chocolate chips.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my pie didn't turn out as well as I had hoped. The meringue was too soft and the filling was too runny. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This pie was a disaster! The meringue was completely deflated and the filling was curdled. I'm not sure what went wrong, but I will not be trying this recipe again.
