Weights and Measures Day

Posted on by Haroon Mohsin

Weights and Measures Day falls on May 20 and celebrates the history related to international trade and the exchanging of ideas across the globe. In 1875, the world came together and signed an International treaty that agreed to use a standard system of weights and measures. Whenever there is a consensus new codes have to be set. This was necessary since, throughout human history, different parts of the world used various measuring systems. All in all, this made trade and communication on trade subjects difficult.

National High Heel Day falls on May 20 in honor of the strutters, the confidence givers, the posture fixers — high heels. Invented as a cosmetic aid, this multi-billion dollar product is now all about making a fashion statement. Someone once said, “the higher the heels, the closer to God,” and we may just agree. This exciting day came into existence in 2021 through a court order issued by Judge Gisela Laurent in an undisclosed settlement. Women all over the United States celebrate the holiday by donning their best pairs and heading out with confidence.
