National Chocolate Covered Anything Day, Friday, December 16, 2011

This poor girl seems to have spilled her chocolate.

Yes, Friday, December 16 is "National Chocolate Covered Anything Day" - A day were you forget the diet, flip off the dentist and indulge. Be creative, that's the fun part of a day like this. Put chocolate on everything and you may just discover a gem to hold onto for next year.

Based on the research, no one seems to know how and when this holiday came to life. It seems by default that if the holiday revolves around food, the label, "National" is applied to it. However, there are no acts of congress or presidential proclamations that justify this day. It just seemed to surface.


Personally, I think this is one of those 1%'er deals. Just like the big Wall Street firms got together with Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson and struck a secret deal to double the leverage on the loans, I suspect there is something nefarious in chocolate land.

We tried to get Willie Wonka on the phone, but he was busy.

Then there were the attempts to reach Hershey's  and Godiva chocolates. Ghiardelli plead the 5th Amendment, too.

A Hershey's Kiss® was just about to spill the beans and the sun hit the poor bastard and he melted. 

No one in chocolate land is talking. Yet, we have this mysterious holiday.

The only thing we really know is that "National Chocolate Covered Anything Day" occurs on December 16 each year. And that's good enough for me to consume three, two-pound bars of milk chocolate and then take a nap.

Have a great time. Eat all you want. Coat things you never thought you'd coat with chocolate and have a great time on "National Chocolate Covered Anything Day."
