National Waffle Day
March 25, 2024
In the United States, National Waffle Day is celebrated in August to commemorate the date of a U.S. patent on a waffle iron; however the celebration is described as “at best a ‘bizarre’ or ‘unique’ holiday – the fluff stuff of radio DJ commentary”, a frequent criticism of food celebration days.
Origins: National Waffle Day is celebrated on August 24th because that’s the anniversary of the patent for the first waffle iron in the United States. Cornelius Swarthout of Troy, New York, was issued the patent on August 24, 1869. While waffles have been around for a long time, Swarthout’s invention made them more accessible.
