April 30, 2022 - National Oatmeal Cookie Day | National Bugs Bunny Day

Welcome to April 30, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate healthy treats and a wascally wabbit. It seems there’s an oddball in every group, even when it comes to cookies. People go crazy for chocolate chip and snickerdoodle, but that’s not the case for oatmeal cookies. Some people turn up their noses at the very idea. But come on—you get to eat sweets AND something healthy at the same time. How many desserts can make that claim? On National Oatmeal Cookie Day, celebrate having your cookie and your good health too. And I would like to point out that it’s also National Raisin Day. Can’t these two factions join up? Are there really kid’s with a box of raisins celebrating in a corner when they could be hanging out with the cookie kids? Sounds like a mom made that up! What’s up, Doc? Today we celebrate one of the most famous cartoon characters - that wascally wabbit otherwise known as Bugs Bunny. Since his debut in the 1940’s cartoon “A Wild Hare,” Bugs has appeared in more films than any other animated character and even has his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Everyone knows and loves this wise-guy rabbit with the Brooklyn accent, except of course for Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd. These guys are off plotting revenge for being the butt of all his jokes. Or maybe they’re just jealous that they don’t have their own National Days. Cue up some Looney Tunes and grab some carrots with a side of sarcasm. It’s National Bugs Bunny Day! I’m Anna Devere and I’m Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
