The 12 Most Pointless National Food Days
There's no denying that food is something that's worth celebrating. It's delicious, it gives us life, and all that good stuff. But it seems like nearly every day has been designated a National [Insert Food Here] Day, and the vast majority of them leave us scratching our heads. In fact, only a couple of food days make any sense. March 14, for example, is National Pie Day, because 3.14 is pi. And the third Sunday of July is National Ice Cream Day, which makes sense because it's almost always hot in late July. And whenever there's a February 29 it's National Frog's Legs Day, in honor of the "leap" year.
So many of these food days are completely arbitrary, however. Take a guess what July Fourth has been designated, for example. Apple Pie Day, maybe? Nope: National Caesar Salad Day. Right, let's celebrate our nation's independence by honoring a salad invented in Tijuana!
