NATIONAL SANDWICH DAY
Whether you stack it high or thin, National Sandwich Day on November 3rd recognizes one of America’s favorite lunch items. #NationalSandwichDay
We have a British nobleman to thank! The sandwich was popularized in 1762 by John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, who allegedly asked for meat tucked between two slices of bread so he could eat without leaving the gambling table. It was convenient, and the idea instantly caught on!
Actionable Focus: How to Celebrate!
1. Go Gourmet: Ditch the basic ham and cheese. Try creating a signature sandwich with artisan bread, unique sauces, and gourmet fillings.
2. Support Your Deli: Visit a local mom-and-pop deli or sandwich shop to show them some love.
3. Pay It Forward: Make an extra sandwich and give it to a person in need—a simple way to honor a truly universal food.

MICKEY MOUSE BIRTHDAY
On November 18th, Mickey Mouse Birthday commemorates the debut of a lovable mouse that was once a rabbit called Oswald. His character got his start on film on November 18, 1928, but before that, the story begins in 1927, when Walt Disney first sketched a floppy-eared bunny while under contract to Universal Studios. The events that unraveled brought us Mickey Mouse. #MickeyMouseBirthday
