National Mochi Day

What is National Mochi Day?
National Mochi Day is a sweet, squishy celebration of one of Japan’s most delightful treats—mochi! Celebrated every year on August 8th, this day is all about enjoying that perfectly chewy, melt-in-your-mouth goodness that’s equal parts snack and experience.
Mochi is made from glutinous rice (don’t worry—no gluten involved!) that’s pounded into a smooth, stretchy dough. The result? A soft, chewy texture that’s unlike anything else.
Mochi has been part of Japanese culture for centuries and is especially important during celebrations like Japanese New Year. There’s even a traditional event called mochitsuki, where people pound rice together in a big wooden mortar—it’s part cooking, part teamwork, and part festival!

What’s “preposterous packaging,” exactly?

Spoonerisms Day
2026-07-22 00:00 - 23:59
What is Spoonerisms Day?
Ever said “belly jeans” instead of “jelly beans” or “mardon me padam” instead of “pardon me madam”? Congrats—you’ve already celebrated Spoonerisms Day without even knowing it! It falls on the Junty-Second of Tuly, sorry, the Twenty-Second of July every year!
This delightfully silly day is dedicated to the art of mixing up sounds in words—usually by swapping the first letters or syllables to create something hilariously wrong (yet somehow still understandable). The holiday gets its name from , who was famous for accidentally flipping sounds in his speech. Whether he truly made all those mistakes or not… we’re glad the legend stuck. So what exactly is a spoonerism? It’s when you switch sounds between words and end up with something like:

“You’ve hissed all my mystery lectures” (instead of “missed all my history lectures”)
“Tease my ears” (instead of “ease my tears”)

See? Confusing… but kind of brilliant. Spoonerisms Day is all about laughing at language, embracing mistakes, and having fun with words. It reminds us that language doesn’t always have to be perfect—it can be playful, weird, and wonderfully mixed up. So go ahead—flip some letters, twist some tongues, and don’t worry if things come out a little backwards. After all, on this day, getting it wrong is exactly how you get it right!
Ways to celebrate
1. Host a Spoonerism Challenge
Gather friends or family and take turns creating spoonerisms. The funniest (or most confusing) one wins! Bonus points if everyone can guess the original phrase.
2. Speak in Spoonerisms Only
Try having a full conversation using spoonerisms. It might start as “pass the salt” and quickly turn into “sast the palt”—and chaos will follow.
3. Write a Silly Story
Create a short story or paragraph filled with spoonerisms. The more ridiculous it sounds, the better!
4. Social Media Fun
Post your favorite spoonerism and challenge others to guess what it really means. It’s a fun way to get people laughing and interacting.
5. Play a Word Game Night
Turn spoonerisms into a game—write phrases on slips of paper, mix them up, and have players fix them or act them out.
6. Learn About the Origins
Take a moment to learn about William Archibald Spooner, the man behind the name. His accidental word swaps turned into a full-blown language phenomenon!
7. Family-Friendly Fun
Kids love this one—make it a game to swap sounds in everyday phrases and see who comes up with the silliest version.
8. Tongue-Twister Mashups
Combine spoonerisms with tongue twisters for an extra challenge. (Warning: lots of laughter guaranteed.)
We’ve got a ton of tongue twisters to go with:
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
How can a clam cram in a clean cream can?
Fred fed Ted bread and Ted fed Fred bread.
Unique New York, unique New York, you know you need unique New York.
I saw Susie sitting in a shoeshine shop.
Click here for the full list of terribly tough tongue twisters
Did you know?
Practicing tongue twisters can improve speech clarity, enhance verbal agility, and serve as a warm-up exercise before public speaking. They can help with articulation and are be used in speech therapy. Practice these tongue twisters a bunch and you may have a few less Spoonerisms!

World Listening Day, celebrated every year on July 18th, is a way to hit pause… and press play on the real world.
This unique day was inspired by the birthday of pioneering composer and environmentalist R. Murray Schafer, who encouraged people to truly listen to their surroundings—not just hear them. Think of it as a global reminder that the world is full of incredible soundtracks—you just have to notice them.
From the gentle rustle of leaves to the buzz of a busy street, every place has its own “soundscape.”
On World Listening Day, people across the globe take time to appreciate these everyday sounds, explore how noise shapes our experiences, and even reflect on how we can create quieter, more mindful environments.

What is New Conversations Day?
New Conversations Day, celebrated each year on July 12th, is all about the power of connection. It’s a day dedicated to stepping outside your usual routine and starting fresh conversations—whether that means chatting with someone new, reconnecting with an old friend, or opening up in a more meaningful way.
In today’s fast-paced, digital world, it’s easy to rely on quick texts and surface-level interactions. New Conversations Day encourages us to slow down and engage in real, genuine communication. A simple conversation can spark new ideas, strengthen relationships, and even lead to unexpected opportunities.
You don’t need a big plan to participate—sometimes it’s as easy as saying hello, asking a thoughtful question, or truly listening to someone’s story. Whether it’s a casual chat or a deeper discussion, every conversation has the potential to make a lasting impact.
At its core, New Conversations Day is a reminder that connection matters—and that one small conversation can open the door to something meaningful.

Say hello to someone at a coffee shop, gym, or even while waiting in line. A simple “How’s your day going?” can go a long way.

Reach out to a friend, family member, or old coworker you haven’t talked to in a while. A quick message or call can restart something special.

Skip the usual small talk and try something more engaging like:

“What’s something exciting happening in your life right now?”
“What’s a goal you’re working toward?”

4. Practice Active Listening
Focus on truly hearing what the other person is saying. Put your phone down, make eye contact, and be present in the moment.

Attend a local event, class, or meetup where conversations happen naturally. It’s a great way to meet new people.
