International Chihuahua Appreciation Day is celebrated across the world on May 14 every year. As the name suggests, International Chihuahua Appreciation Day is meant to appreciate Chihuahuas, the smallest breed of dog in the world. The day originated in 2020 when former Miss British Columbia and fitness advocate Nadia Alterio announced on her blog that May 14 would henceforth be celebrated as International Chihuahua Appreciation Day, coinciding with her own Chihuahua — Teaka’s — birthday. The breed was named after the Mexican State of Chihuahua and usually grows to be between three to six lbs.
Hostess CupCake Day
Hostess CupCake Day is celebrated annually on May 11 to commemorate the day the first Hostess CupCake was sold in 1919. Produced by the Taggart Baking Company, Hostess CupCakes were originally known as Chocolate Cup Cakes. Hostess CupCakes became so popular that in 1988 alone, 400 million of these cupcakes were sold. The number skyrocketed to 600 million in 2011. After several mergers and acquisitions, Hostess Cupcakes are now produced by Hostess Brands and are still a fan favorite in the cupcake world.
Root Canal Appreciation Day
Root Canal Appreciation Day is observed every year on the second Wednesday in May. This year, it takes place on May 13. The holiday was created in 2005 by Chris Kammer, one of America’s most vocal advocates for the oral-systemic approach to the prevention of disease. People often have a negative perception of root canals. Dental experts provide assurance that it is a safe and successful procedure, even more so than other dental procedures. This day is an opportunity to raise awareness and dispel misconceptions that people have about root canals.
