National Chocolate Pudding Day: More
Tomorrow's food holiday will be 'National Chocolate Pudding Day'.
[The Hankster says] A childhood favorite (the General Foods Jello Chocolate Pudding and Pie Filling). Of course, if you ask for it in 1934, you would need to ask for 'Walter Baker’s Dessert'. If you were so confused that you waited around until 1936, the same product was rename 'Pickle’s Pudding'. Now I'm sure Walter and Miss Pickle knew what they were about, but really!.
take some extra money for a tip tomorrow. It will be 'National Beautician’s Day'.
[The Hankster says] While he/she is working on your hair, that pudding will be working on your love handles. Such is life. You can't have everything your way.
Tomorrow is 'Rat-Catcher's Day'. Hamelin Germany recognizes June 26 1284 as the day that the Pied Piper did his thing. Is consistent with the Brothers Grimm version.
[The Hankster says] I will pause, as I have had to do through out my childhood, for any and all rat and ratliff jokes ........ Times up.
Crank um up, if you got um. Tomorrow is 'Drive Your Corvette to Work Day'.
[The Hankster says] The best I will be able to do is to find my old Hot Wheels version.
For those who are also Corvette-less. Tomorrow is 'Canoe Day'. Since 2007.
[The Hankster says] Now we are getting around to my speed.
