The concept of diminishing marginal utility suggests that as a person consumes more of a good, the satisfaction (utility) from consuming an additional unit decreases. In this case, after consuming such a large number of banana splits, it's likely that the utility of the last banana split was negative, leading to discomfort or a negative experience, which is why he never ate another one.
