February 15th, National What Day?

Yes, February 15th is National Gumdrop Day.  Who knew?  Gumdrops have been around since the early 1800’s but the origins of this national day of recognition are obscure. That means I couldn’t track it down.

Gumdrops were a prominent feature in the board game ’Candy Land’ and they are still widely available. It seems to me that they are used for cake and cookie decorations a lot, too.


If you’re tired of all the Valentine’s Day chocolate but still have a sweet tooth, today you have a free pass to enjoy all of the gum drops that your heart desires.
