The national day for all things chocolate fondue is Feb 5. Imagine all the things you could dip into chocolate fondue: brownies, Rice Krispie treats, strawberries, waffles, pretzels and more. The options are limitless. Do you know what Feb. 5th is also a designated day for?… farting. Yep, you read that right. Whether it is silent but deadly, or loud and proud, farts of all kinds are welcome on National Farting Day. 

If you think about it, Feb. 5th is a national day for two kinds of art forms. The art of creating intricate designs when plating a platter for chocolate fondue and the melodic masterpiece that you pass after having Grandma Betty’s world-famous chili. 

Everyone has had that moment where they were not quite sure if the bean burrito they ate only made them plague surrounding people with the fumes, or if the evidence in their drawers was here to stay. 

The majority of people love eating chocolate fondue. If you haven’t had the pleasure of eating chocolate fondue, first of all, I’m sorry. Second of all, you are missing out.​​ There are also endless options for dipping and the way you make your chocolate fondue is also pretty versatile. From dark to milk chocolate, you could have it all. 

Yet, depending on how many Oreos you dipped in the fondue, you may be paying for it later in the confined space of the john. Doing what exactly? You guessed it: crop dusting and expelling waste just as dark as the chocolate fondue you were just eating 20 minutes ago. Oh, how times have changed. 

Whether you like visual art, are more of the harmonic artistry type or just really love chocolate, today can be a day filled with sweet tastes and slightly putrid smells. It’s your choice.
