I just came across an interesting connection! Food on a stick day. It's supposed to be a national holiday? I don't know much about it but I found this information on Examiner.com:
March 28th: Something on a Stick Day
Origin: No source/creator has claimed this day.
The title of this quirky holiday says it all.
How to celebrate: Make/buy some tasty treats on a stick of course! Make mini ones for the kids (secretly for yourself) they’ll love it.
So far the list begins...the research is in progress...
