Today's Celebrations — July 13: Embrace Your Geekness Day & National Beans 'n' Franks Day

July 13 celebrates two very different kinds of pride, proudly geeking out over your favorite obsession and proudly sitting down to a plate of beans and franks.

Whether you are into comics, coding, or just really into your fantasy football spreadsheet, and whether you like your beans and franks straight from the can or slow simmered all afternoon, today gives you two easy reasons to celebrate.

Embrace Your Geekness Day

Embrace Your Geekness Day encourages people to proudly share the niche interests they might otherwise keep to themselves. From sci-fi and anime to obscure trivia and deep dives into a favorite hobby, the day is a reminder that specialized passion is worth celebrating, not hiding.

😄 Fun fact: The word "geek" originally referred to sideshow performers, not tech enthusiasts, so today's celebration has come a long way.

Ways to celebrate:

• Rewatch your favorite sci-fi or fantasy movie marathon style
• Share your most niche hobby or fact with a friend, no explaining required
• Browse a comic shop, bookstore, or online forum dedicated to your interest

National Beans 'n' Franks Day

National Beans 'n' Franks Day celebrates the classic pairing of baked beans and sliced frankfurters, a comfort food combo with roots in Civil War era camp cooking that became a canned convenience staple by the 1890s. Also known as "beanie weenies," it remains a go to for easy summer meals and cookouts.

😄 Fun fact: Beans and franks go by different names depending on the brand, but Van Camp's is the only one that can legally call it Beanee Weenee.

Ways to celebrate:

• Make a quick stovetop batch for a weeknight dinner
• Bring a pot to a summer cookout or potluck
• Try a new twist with barbecue sauce, brown sugar, or a smoky spice blend

•
