National Fried Chicken Day

[LCHIEN]

as a public service announcement, today (Saturday) is National Fried Chicken Day. Apparenlty you take a fried chicken to lunch. And I typoed that Checken the first time.

And tomorrow (Sunday) is National Chocolate Day and I know some of you got an early start... he, he.

I'm very embarressed for a Internet Fact Checker. MY source was wrong. By multiple sources, this is the agreed upon assignements:
July 7: National Strawberry Sundae Day
July 8: National Chocolate with Almonds Day

If you didn't know, you might ask:
Who designates “national” food days?

Well, according to my internet research,

“National” observances (months, weeks, days) in the USA are determined by three sources:
Presidential proclamation…promoting national interests (Thanksgiving, National School Lunch Week)
Industry/trade associations…promoting member products (National Sandwich Month, National Pie Day)
Source unknown…sounds good, historically feasible, sells copy (National Sandwich Day)

I'm guessing it isn't Paula Dean.
