The history of this day is closely tied to the very origins of blue jeans themselves, which date back to May 20, 1873, when Jacob Davis and Levi Strauss received a patent for adding metal rivets to men’s work pants. This innovation significantly enhanced the durability of these pants, paving the way for what we now recognize as blue jeans. Over the years, blue jeans have become an integral part of fashion and culture, evolving from practical workwear to a symbol of style and rebellion against the norm. Cultural icons like Marlon Brando and James Dean popularized them as casual wear in the 1950s and 1960s and have since become a wardrobe staple across the globe. Their appeal lies in their versatility, durability, and comfort, making them suitable for all ages and occasions. National Blue Jeans Day was established in the late 1990s by a company called Cotton Incorporated, to celebrate this iconic piece of clothing. The day encourages people to wear their favorite jeans, reflect on the impact of denim in fashion and culture, and recognize the timeless nature of jeans as a fashion statement.

🍪🍪🍪National Cookie Day🍪🍪🍪 Bake some sugary, buttery and perfectly rounded snacks, indulge in classics like chocolate chip or experiment with unusual flavors like lavender or cheese. Cookies are sweet and full of all sorts of delicious goodness, from nuts to fruit to chocolate. They can be either delightfully crumbly or sinfully chewy. Not to mention that they keep forever if they are stored properly…well, this may not actually be true but, honestly, they will probably never last long enough to find out! There’s no doubt about it: cookies more than deserve their own day, and that’s why National Cookie Day is celebrated around the world in order to pay tribute to these delicious little treats. So grab some flour, butter, and sugar, and let’s get to celebrating, shall we? 🍪The History of National Cookie Day🍪 Cookies, themselves, can be traced back much further than most people would imagine. It is estimated that in the 7th century AD, Persians were some of the first to grow and harvest sugar cane, which would have eventually been turned into baked goods. The movement of people for trade and war led the glory of sugar to be brought into Europe and, by the 14th century, cookies had come there as well. Then, when Europeans migrated over to the Americas, they brought with them their sugar as well as their cookie recipes. Americans eventually began developing their own types of cookies, the Chocolate Chip Cookie being one of the most famous of all. In 1987 Matt Nader of the San Francisco-based Blue Chip Cookie Company created National Cookie Day, saying: “It’s just like having National Secretaries Day… It will just be a fun thing to do.” This fun and sweet holiday have also been championed by The Cookie Monster from Sesame Street, obviously a supporter of all things that are cookie-related. Although the day did not originate with him, some details about National Cookie Day can be found in Random House’s The Sesame Street Dictionary, which was published back in the 1980s.
