National Cheese Doodle DayCheez Doodles
Cheetos cheese-flavored puffs became a hit in the 1950s soon, Cheez Doodles appeared.
Cheez Doodles fingers is the official word used to when you get cheese powder on your fingers after eating ANY cheese flavored snack food.
Cheez Doodles are said to be one of the only packaged snack foods preferred by Julia Child.
They have recently entered pop culture as the preferred snack of ESPN NBA analyst Stephen A. Smith, and are the favourite snack of Lincoln Peirces comic character Big Nate.
Wise (the company that produces Cheez Doodles) recently made their Crunchy Cheez Doodles cheezier, more akin to Cheetos flavor.
National Absinthe Day This naturally green and highly alcoholic drink has a distinct flavor that combines green anise, wormwood, sweet fennel, culinary herbs and at times, a whole lot of sugar.
Absinthe has quite a history and memorable taste. Gaining popularity in France during the 1800s among artists and writers because it was pegged as particularly bohemian, it made its way to the U.S. as a famed favorite during Prohibition.
A chemical compound, thujone, could be traced in scant amounts to absinthe, and was immediately blamed as an addictive psychoactive drug with harmful effects. It was banned in the U.S. and Europe in 1915, but that didn't stop people from quaffing "la fée verte," or its nickname, "the green fairy."
But it turns out that the harmful effects were greatly exaggerated, and absinthe received a welcoming revival in the 1990s after the bans were removed. Now, nearly 200 brands are produced here and across Europe. http://eatocracy.cnn.com/2012/03/05/national-absinthe-day/
Nametag Day Nametag Day, also referred to as National Nametag Day, is an annual event that takes place during the first complete week in March, during the yearly Celebrate Your Name Week. This year's event occurs on March 5, 2015..
Other special days during the week-long event include Namesake Day, Fun Facts About Names Day, Unique Names Day, Discover What Your Name Means Day, Middle Name Pride Day and Descendants Day. No foolin'!
Whether your name is a traditional one, unusual one or trendy one, be sure to celebrate Nametag Day by proudly wearing a name tag all day long. And you never know. Maybe that little tag will come in handy just in case you forget your own moniker! And if you aren't too fond of yours, why not be someone else just for the day and make one up? http://www.examiner.com/article/national-nametag-day-be-proud-and-wear-yours-a-crowd
World Book Day A day to celebrate the joys of books and reading. Further details on the World Book Day website - www.worldbookday.com.
