January 19, 2023 - National Popcorn Day

Welcome to January 19th, 2023 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate taking the road less traveled in pursuit of our favorite snacks. On a cold snowy day in January, a man sat at his usual spot in his favorite coffee shop cruising around the internet. He happened to see the mention of “National Popcorn Day,” and being his favorite snack, the man dug a little deeper. “What’s the deal with National Days? Where do they come from and why are they a thing?” His research came up empty for there wasn’t one site describing all of the days and some of their origins were nonexistent. This man was more than a little persistent, for he gave up nights and weekends for the next two years to create over a thousand posts all around the subject of National Days. Little did he know that the hobby would become his Hallmark and today National Day Calendar turns 10 years old. On National Popcorn Day, I’m celebrating the man behind the hobby, Marlo Anderson! I’m Anna Devere and I’m Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
