It’s Apparently National Cheeseburger Day. Where’s Our Gift?

These are not actual cheeseburgers, but they still look tasty. That's how powerful the image of the cheeseburger is. I'm also just really hungry. (Eric Spiegel)

We know that most of you are probably all caught up in the annual sybaritic bacchanal that is National Dipped Fruit Week (you really don’t want to see the current state of the chocolate fountain in the Consumerist Cave), but let us not allow our cheese-and-chocolate-covered euphoria blind us to an equally important food holiday going on right now: National Cheeseburger Day.

There is still time to celebrate — or buy us a card, like you never do, you ungrateful little… — and luckily the folks at BurgerBusiness.com and The Epoch Times have put together round-ups of various offers and challenges available to those of us who observe this most special of days.

Check out those links, or just go to your favorite local burger joint and remind them of their not-at-all-legal obligation to serve up some sort of special sandwich to acknowledge the holiday.
