Food holidays are some of the best to celebrate.  I mean, it’s food, right?  Today is National Onion Ring Day.  I’m not sure who made this a national day but thank you, thank you, thank you.  I had to do my part to celebrate so I did and here is the proof!

How about some fun facts about Onion rings & Onions!

  1.  The first recipe for Onion Rings was in a Crisco ad in a 1933 issue of the New York Times Magazine.  My Question is who thought to do this?
  2.  The average American consumes about 20 pounds of onion rings a year.  I’d say that sounds pretty accurate.  I do my part to help.
  3.  Don’t like the onion breathe after eating, here’s a trick, eat parsley.  It helps kill the onion smell!
  4.  Did you know the United States produces nearly 2 million metric tons of onions a year?  That’s a lot of onions.
  5.  The Guinness Book says the biggest onion grown was in England and weighed 10 pounds & 14 ounces!
  6.  Funyuns made by Frito Lay are really good, But they aren’t onion rings, not even close!
  7.  Ever noticed when you go to Burger King, At least one onion ring ends up in your bag?  Hmmmmmm!
  8.  There’s nothing better than a cheeseburger, onion rings and a milk shake!
