Sweetest Day a fraud?

Sweetest Day
Sweetest Day is an observance celebrated primarily in the Great Lakes region and parts of the Northeast United States on the third Saturday in October[1]. It is described by Retail Confectioners International as an "occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, aged and orphaned, but also friends, relatives and associates whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed."[2] Sweetest Day has also been referred to as a "concocted promotion"[3] created by the candy industry solely to increase sales of candy.

A hallmark holiday I say! I believe some feminazi created this day to keep guys away from college football on Saturday. I've know many a men, who had to go to dinner on Sweetest Day Saturday night, missing the game. And for what? To buy dinner, to get a card, to give candy, heck even a gift. Come on men, revolt! You already have Valentine's Day, don't fall for this trap.

What's worse, it's pretty much just in the Midwest, and a few northeast states. Can you say Fraud? Women, buy your man a card, or make him something special so when Valentine's Day comes around he'll at least remember your name.

Everyday with me is sweetest day, because I'm so sweet.

  2. In general, I don't celebrate Sweetest Day. I don't want a SD card or gift; But maybe Hallmark figured out that people in relationships need to remember to spend time "being" in the relationship...It is a good excuse to get a sitter and have a nice dinner out. Now, I just need to find someone else who feels that way!

    Its not even celebrated throughout the midwest. Ohio doesn't celebrate it! No wonder Michigan's economy is so crappy we are stupid enough to fall for anything. There is hope though. When I am elected president sweetest day will be eliminated and replaced by Wednesday football. The first Wednesday in November will be a national holiday and the NFL will play all its games on Wednesday that week.

    My name is Frank Page and I hope that I can count on your vote on November 4th.

    Have never heard of this day before. It seems like just one more day to confess your "sins" with dinner out or whatever. My 3 y.o wouldn't understand this holiday as she gets a time out for not being sweet, and since she wants to play every day she knows she better be sweet every day.
