National Pig Day, observed annually on the 1st of March, recognizes the domesticated pig. This holiday includes events and celebrations at zoos, schools, nursing homes and sporting events around the United States.  Pig parties, pig parades and gatherings with pig collectibles are a few of the other events that have commemorated National Pig Day.

Pigs are a clever and intelligent animal, however, most people are not aware of their high level of intelligence.  They are a household pet to some that can be trained and taught tricks.

In Dublin in 1772, a trained swine called the Learned Pig told time, counted and other such tricks to entertain crowds in the streets.

There was a famous, if fictitious, Learned Pig in London in the late 1700s which seemed to gain his learnedness from his mother eating an entire volume of Sir Robert Filmer’s manuscripts and “Saobeverel’s Sermons” before she delivered him into the world. He was born with an intelligence that seemed obvious just by looking. When one day he feasted upon the garden of the great Milton himself he began waxing poetic.

Pigs have been popular storybook characters for generations. From A.A. Milne’s Piglet to E.B. White’s Wilbur, pigs have an endearing and flavorful quality about them that makes us love them.

There are hundreds of different breeds, most of which are descended from the Eurasian Wild Boar.  The female is called a gilt and can produce 10 piglets in a single litter. They also produce bacon, ham, baby back ribs, spare ribs, sirloin, pork belly and oh, so many more delectable barbecue items it would be a shame to not honor the swine on this day of all days.

HISTORY

Our research has found that this day was created in 1972 by two sisters, Ellen Stanley and Mary Lynne Rave. Ellen was a school teacher in Lubbock, Texas and Mary was from Beaufort, North Carolina.  According to Mary Lynne Rave, the purpose of National Pig Day is “to accord the pig its rightful, though generally unrecognized, place as one of man’s most intellectual and domesticated animals.”

“Man who invented the hamburger was smart; man who invented the cheeseburger was a genius. ~ Matthew McConaughey

“Life is too short to miss out on the beautiful things, like a double cheeseburger.” ~ Channing Tatum

Easily the two best comments in the history of mankind, a proper lauding of the combination of perfectly seasoned hamburger topped with rich and creamy cheese. Of course, if there’s one thing that we’ve learned it’s that there’s no such thing as too much of a good thing. That’s why Double Cheeseburger Day exists! Because some bright spark decided that the only thing better than a cheeseburger is a double cheeseburger! If you ever needed an excuse to enjoy one (and we know you didn’t) this is it!

History of Double Cheeseburger Day Double Cheeseburger Day was made to celebrate the birth of the double cheeseburger, and by extension the cheeseburger itself. While it may seem the most natural thing in the world to add cheese to a hamburger these days, originally a hamburger was a very simple affair. Hamburger, bread, and condiments were pretty much all that a hamburger had going for it. The first person said to have created the cheeseburger was Lionel Sternberger while working at his fathers sandwich shop. A sizzling piece of hamburger seemed to be just begging for something a little extra, and so a piece of cheese was added to see what came out.

What came out, obviously, was magic. It wasn’t long before someone realized that a single sizzling patty of hamburger topped with melting cheese wasn’t the best thing in life, not when you could have two sizzling patties of hamburger topped with melting cheese! The birth of the double cheeseburger was as inevitable as the cheeseburger itself, and Double Cheeseburger Day celebrates it all!

How to Celebrate Double Cheeseburger Day Well, start off your Double Cheeseburger Day by having a Double Cheeseburger obviously! There’s no reason you can’t enjoy them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Well, aside from a little concern about an expanding waistline, but who has time to worry about things like that? Then there’s the adventurous path for the truly daring, when you see a double cheeseburger topped with bacon, lettuce, tomato, and a dollop of chili. Never heard of a chili-double-cheeseburger? Well, Double Cheeseburger Day is your chance to try one, and that’s just the first step! Let your imagination run wild and mix up the cheeses and toppings that go together to create your own personal hamburger masterpiece!
