Barbie And Barney Backlash Day
Many of us might not have loved certain popular icons in our childhood, so Barbie and Barney Backlash Day was created on December 16 every year to deny their very existence! Perhaps, it’s also a time for parents to take a break from picking up their children’s Barbie dolls or turn off Barney’s famous sing-along songs that have charmed children for many decades. Not only this, Barbies are no longer limited to dolls, there’s a wide array of movies, too. This day, offering us an interesting and somewhat hilarious take on these household names, allows some of us to just forget about Barbie and Barney for a while.
National Chocolate Covered Anything Day
What do BBQ potato chips, strawberries, and ants have in common? On any ordinary day, not much. But on December 16, all three of these things —and thousands of others —could all be considered key ingredients in a creative culinary confection. Because on December 16, we’ll all be celebrating National Chocolate Covered Anything Day. This is the day you’ve been waiting for. All those times when you wondered, “What would this taste like dipped in chocolate?” can now officially be answered. Maybe you’re into the basics, like chocolate covered fruit or cookies, but you rarely take the time to dip these ingredients. Or, perhaps you’re a bit more adventurous and are looking to try out a new chocolate-encased dish. (French fries? Fish sticks?) Either way, December 16 is the perfect time to satisfy your craving for chocolate covered anything while getting into the holiday spirit.
