March 23, 2022 - National Chip And Dip Day | National Puppy Day

Welcome to March 23rd, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate dynamic duos and our favorite snuggling companions. If you enjoy chips and dip, you can thank a tea company for the idea. In the years following World War II, the American suburbs grew rapidly, as did the demand for food and recipes for entertaining. Lipton, the British company known for its tea, marketed its onion soup mix as a way to make dip. Just add it to some sour cream and voila!—an American snack legend was born. For a while, this became known as the California Dip, but now we just know it as good ol’ chip and dip. On National Chip and Dip Day, whip up this dynamic duo, and let the celebration begin. And if you invite your friends just be sure not to double dip. Dogs and humans have shared a bond since civilization began. They have hunted together, played together and snuggled for warmth. The expression “three dog night” comes from this practical purpose: on the coldest of nights it takes 3 dogs to keep out the chill. Having a six pack of puppies may sound like a recipe for chaos, but everyone knows there’s nothing more endearing. That’s why the organization Canine Companions for Independence trains assistance dogs for people with disabilities. And the best part is, they do it free of charge. On National Puppy Day cuddle up with your favorite pup and enjoy the sloppy kisses. I’m Anna Devere and I’m Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.
