History
Lasagna Day – The word “lasagna” comes from the Greek word “laganon,” which means “flat bread.” The Italian word “lasagna” is a diminutive form of this word, referring to the flat, wide noodles used in the dish.
Chicken Wing Day – It’s estimated that Americans consume a staggering 1.42 billion chicken wings on Super Bowl Sunday alone. That’s enough to circle the Earth three times!
S’mores Day – That fluffy texture you love about S’mores is mostly air. Over half of a marshmallow is just empty space.
Ice Cream Sandwich Day – The early ice cream sandwiches were incredibly affordable, costing only a penny. This made them a popular treat for working-class people.
International Beer Day – Ancient civilizations believed beer had medicinal properties, and it was often given to sick people.
Chocolate Chip Cookie Day – The first chocolate chip cookies were about the size of a quarter, a far cry from the hefty ones we enjoy today.
