Does anyone ever wonder how some of the weird holidays I include at the first of every month got started? The bottom line is anyone can start a holiday though even the well informed don't always know how that works. Today is National Cuban Sandwich Day (among other holidays for this day),it was started as a hoax by a Florida reporter in 2016 who was fascinated by the food holidays and wanted to see if he could create one. He sent out a fake press release to food writers and restaurants plus he created a Facebook page for National Cuban Sandwich Day. The news spread quickly but his editor stepped in and told him to make a statement that he had made the holiday up which he did,but it was already too late,the National Cuban Sandwich Day had been born!
