When is Root Beer Float Day, August 6 holidays
When is National Root Beer Day? This holiday is always celebrated on June 17
Stick a mug or two into the freezer. Then, join us as we celebrate National Root Beer Day with a frosty mug of root beer soda. On this June 17 holiday, we enjoy one of America’s favorite beverages. And we’re happy to report it’s a truly American beverage. Native American tribes in both North and South America have enjoyed this beverage since ancient times.

Root beer was originally used for medicinal purposes. It was used to treat a variety of common ailments, including aches, colds, fevers, rheumatism, skin conditions, and upset stomachs. Later, people discovered the great refreshing taste of root beer. Then, it became popular as a soothing and relaxing beverage. During the late 1870s, soda manufacturers began to make it carbonated. Then, its popularity took off.

About National Fudge Day
When is National Fudge Day? This holiday is always celebrated on June 16
Chocolate candy lovers rejoice! Today is a sweet day. It is National Fudge Day. On this June 16 holiday, we celebrate this irresistible, fabulous, sugary sweet confection. A great way to enjoy this holiday is to go to a candy store that makes fresh fudge right in front of your eyes. Can you pass up the opportunity to sample some fudge when you enter a candy shop? We think not. And, once you’ve tasted a sample or two, it’s nearly impossible to walk out of the store without buying some to eat later at the beach or in front of the television as a late-night snack.

The meaning of the word has changed over time. In the 17th century, well before the candy was first created, the word “Fadge” was used as a verb meaning “to clumsily fit together or adjust”. A form of this meaning is in use today. For example, we may be working on a difficult estimate and decide to “fudge it”. In the early 1800s, the word meant a “hoax or to cheat”. To this day, kids use the term “Oh, Fudge” as an expletive. Of course, today it has a much sweeter meaning, bringing thoughts of decadent joy.
