Happy Birthday to Me, and Happy National Cherry Popsicle Day

August 26th is my own personal birthday (CakeSpy the website celebrates its birthday on August 1--there is still a chance to enter the giveaway celebrating this momentous occasion!). August 26 is also, as it happens, National Cherry Popsicle Day. Now, I apologize if I sound ungrateful...but seriously, this is the crappiest holiday I could possibly think of for my birthday. Cherry popsicles suck, dude! I immediately began to do an inventory of other people's birthdays, and most everyone came up with a cooler food holiday coinciding with their birthday, including my mother on June 28 (National Tapioca Day), my sweetie on September 18 (National Cheeseburger Day!), my sisters on September 14 and May 4 (National Cream Filled Doughnut Day and National Candied Orange Peel Day, respectively), my BFF James on February 2 (not only Groundhog's Day, but also Pisco Sour Day!).  I started to get angry, and thought to myself, "I could probably make a list of a hundred things I'd rather eat than a cherry popsicle, easy." So I did. It only took like five minutes. Here are 100 things I'd rather eat than a cherry popsicle.   Vanilla chocolate softserve swirl Hummingbird cake Mint chocolate chip whoopie pies Banana nilla wafer pudding Reese's peanut butter cups Princess cake A soft chocolate chip cookie Philadelphia butter cake Gooey butter cake White chocolate macadamia chip cookie Butter cake with pink buttercream (birthday cake!)

Surely there must be something I like LESS than cherry popsicles, right? So, OK. Here's my list of things that I think are worse than cherry popsicles.  Low fat ice cream Frozen yogurt Those awful chocolates that look like oranges Jelly beans Violet candies Deep fried Kool-aid Cherry Jell-O Fruitcake So, there you have it.
