today is sweetest day! ... at least in some parts of the u.s., as this is not as popular as other hallmark holidays like valentine's day, mother's day, father's day, among others. while this was a philantropic idea of candy confectioners, observance of which is by no means devoid of any capitalist aims and gains. of course, these candy honchos wanted to do "some good" while promoting their products, that's why they distributed sweets to orphans, old people and the poor. this happened back in october 8, 1921 (according to msn a-list), and soon after was being observed during the 3rd saturday of october. what's good with this one, it has come to evolve as another special day to remember the kindness we've got from friends, relatives and associates.
so, spread the sweetness! give everyone some sugar!
