April 23rd Is Picnic Perfect: National Picnic Day, English Muffins, and a Pop Quiz on Chance
April 23rd brings the sunshine and the silly with a fresh lineup of hashtag holidays and trivia fun, all part of our Hashtag Holiday Calendar and Pop Quiz, brought to you by Inland Empire Health Plan.
First up: National Picnic Day. It’s the perfect time to grab your lunch, head outside, and enjoy the beautiful weather. A picnic and maybe a guitar—what more do you need?
Next on the holiday menu: National English Muffin Day. Did you know that in the UK, they just call them muffins? English muffins date back to Wales in 900 A.D. Whether you like them with butter, jam, or honey, they're a breakfast classic.
And if you're feeling adventurous, it's also National Take a Chance Day—a reminder to break out of your routine and try something new.
Feeling thirsty? It's International German Beer Day, too! Celebrate with a classic like Becks, Doppelbock, or St. Pauli Girl. And for fans of darker brews, Kronbacher might just be your go-to.
To top it all off, we had a “chance”-themed pop quiz. The first question: What number is on Chance the Rapper’s signature cap? If you guessed 3, you’re right! It represents his breakthrough third mixtape, "Coloring Book."
The second trivia question took us back to 1979. In the satirical film Being There, Peter Sellers plays a simple gardener named Chance who, through a series of misunderstandings, becomes a presidential advisor. The answer was A: Being There.
