I was going to write the first post about Ace Day, but somebody beat me to it. It's a day for giving Ace crackers. Feel free to insert your own explanation. "Anything to steal the thunder from a Western holiday" is mine.
I first experienced this last year, and in years past I guess I just didn't pay attention. At first I thought they were telling me it was "8s day." Between this, Peppero Day, White Day, and Valentine's Day, snack companies have really found a great market.
Back home it's worse on 2/14. At least here it's generally confined to chocolate or maybe a night out somewhere. Diamonds? Get real.
As opposed to the other 364 days when everyone just pretends they're a cracker...

Ace day, huh? Can someone explain what that's about? I get peppero day, 11/11. What's up with Ace day?
ReplyDeleteTwo words for you: 'Snack Lobby'

Somehow they're implicated in the North/South Problem. I'm sure of it.
I learned about Ace Day while teaching. Love those crackers!
