Gummi Worm Day

Haribo invented the gummi bear in 1920s Germany. The gummi worm came later, because America looked at a candy shaped like a bear and said "what if it was shaped like a worm instead?" This is the kind of innovation that built this country.

Hot Dog Day

The Council estimates Americans consume 20 billion hot dogs per year. Chicago dogs have mustard, relish, onions, tomatoes, a pickle spear, sport peppers, and celery salt on a poppy seed bun. They do NOT have ketchup. If you put ketchup on a Chicago dog, the city will exile you. New York dogs have mustard and sauerkraut. Detroit dogs are served in a bun with chili and mustard. Arizona dogs are wrapped in bacon. There is no national agreement on what belongs on a hot dog, but there is absolute certainty that whatever you put on yours is wrong.
