Daily Holidays - January 19

[Sherman A1]

National Popcorn Day Oh Popcorn! Delicious and delightful popcorn is part of so many traditions. Popcorn balls at Halloween, Popcorn strings at Christmas, and Popcorn all year round at the movies! Corn has played an important role in the diets of many cultures, and has spread to be a worldwide phenomenon since it was imported from the new world. So on Popcorn Day make sure you have yourself a great big bowl of this delicious treat! https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/popcorn-day/

Tin Can Day Peter Durand patented the tin can in 1810, and Tin Can Day celebrates his contribution to the storage of perishable food. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/tin-can/

Women's Healthy Weight Day One for the ladies, and a day for husbands to squirm, perhaps. Whilst waking your spouse on Women’s Healthy Weight Day to proclaim your whole-hearted approval of her size may garner some testing looks, it is unequivocally an occasion for female empowerment. Though now an international affair, unsurprisingly it originated in the United States, where whooping it up whilst tipping the scales can be done with a unique Stateside joie de vivre. https://www.daysoftheyear.com/days/womens-healthy-weight-day/

4. Indeed

Truly a very talented person who as I recall was doing what she could for the folks affected by the fires in the Smokey Mountains from late last fall.

2. I'm glad to see destroyers getting their due...

... oh, the other kind of tin can, I see.

3. Few would get that reference

but, it is indeed a valid one. The greyhounds of the fleet!
