National Cheeseburger Day Celebrated; Free Cheeseburgers if Your Name is 'Burger'
Tuesday Sept. 18 is National Cheeseburger Day. The day has been created to celebrate the cheeseburger, which is thought to have originated sometime in the 1920's.
It is believed thousands of extra customers will flock to burger restaurants today to celebrate with a cheeseburger, and there are reports that numerous outlets will be offering special cheeseburger-related promotions to mark the day.
Some burger restaurants will be using the day to operate charity drives; FIve Guys Burgers and Fries is working with Kraft Cheese to donate funds to "Feeding America," which is a charity that runs food banks across the nation. The companies will make a donation equivalent to a meal every time a cheeseburger is purchased on National Cheeseburger Day.
