National Fast Food Day celebrates the quick-service restaurant industry — whose modern form Ray Kroc systematized with McDonald’s in 1955 — generating more than $380 billion in annual U.S. revenue from more than 200,000 locations. International Day for Tolerance was established by UNESCO in 1995, on the 50th anniversary of UNESCO’s founding, to promote tolerance as a fundamental human rights principle — adopted in response to the post-Cold War surge of ethnic and religious violence. Bhai Dooj is a Hindu festival observed two days after Diwali in which sisters apply a tilak (mark) on their brothers’ foreheads, pray for their long life, and receive gifts — a celebration of the sibling bond observed in North India, Nepal, and the diaspora. Guinness World Records Day was established by Guinness World Records to encourage record-breaking attempts on a single day — observed on the Thursday of the week containing November 11.
