Happy Labor Day AND last day of the Hot Dog Season! Believe it or not, Hot Dog Season is a thing, and runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Thanks to cookouts, ball games and other outdoor activities, Americans consume 7 billion hot dogs during Hot Dog Season. (That’s 818 hot dogs per second.) Whether you’re enjoying your own version of a hot dog, sticking to the potato salad or still wondering why they sell 10 hot dogs per pack but only 8 buns, I hope you have a relaxing Labor Day weekend!

According to a recent survey, 61% of Americans plan to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day this year, spending a total of about $6.85 billion. That’s a lot of green. (Hee-hee. Green.) And in case you were wondering (you almost certainly were NOT wondering) $6.85 billion would equate to about 3,755 pots of gold — if each pot contained 1,000 1oz coins. Whether you’re Irish and celebrating today, taking the opportunity to be Irish just for the day, we wish you a Happy St. Patrick's Day, and a whole heap of good luck!
