Trash Talk, Strudel and a Side of Garbage Day, It's Pop Quiz Time

Wednesday, June 17, 2026 is National Eat All Your Veggies Day, which conveniently follows yesterday's Fresh Veggies Day. First you shop for them, then you actually have to eat them, no dessert until you do. Speaking of dessert though, it is also National Apple Strudel Day, and Jerry says the Italian deli in Palm Desert makes one of the best in town if you are in the mood for the classic flaky, spiced Viennese pastry.

Rounding out the calendar is Global Garbage Man Day, honoring waste management workers who keep communities clean and disease free, and that theme set up not one but two garbage related questions in today's pop quiz.
