Today's Celebrations — July 6: Crispy Bites and Sweet Moments

Summer is heating up, and July 6 brings a delicious mix of global affection and legendary comfort food to your daily calendar.

International Kissing Day

Originating in the United Kingdom, International Kissing Day was created to celebrate the simple, powerful act of puckering up. Beyond romance, a kiss is a universal expression of love, greeting, and deep emotional connection. It is also quite a workout, activating up to 34 facial muscles and sending a rush of happy hormones through your body.

😄 Fun fact: Locked lips can actually boost your immunity, meaning a daily smooch might just keep the doctor away.

Ways to celebrate:

• Surprise your spouse, partner, or kids with a warm affectionate peck.
• Send a sweet text with a kissing emoji to a close friend across the miles.
• Learn about cultural kissing customs around the world, from European cheek-grazes to traditional hand kisses.

National Fried Chicken Day

National Fried Chicken Day honors a culinary masterpiece with roots stretching across Scottish frying traditions and West African seasoned cooking methods. Enslaved African cooks elevated these techniques into a crispy, juicy art form that eventually conquered the world. Today, whether it is pressure fried, pan fried, or tossed in hot sauce, it remains the ultimate comfort food staple.

😄 Fun fact: The world record for the largest serving of fried chicken weighed over 2,400 pounds, requiring a custom built deep fryer to cook.

Ways to celebrate:

• Visit your favorite local neighborhood spot for a hot, crispy basket.
• Try your hand at a homemade buttermilk brine recipe in your own kitchen.
• Gather friends for a backyard picnic featuring cold leftover chicken pieces, which many purists argue taste even better the next day.
