Moved birth from article:

A "frood", oh yeah? BTW, I can't find any info on April Edlow, either. Lupo 13:34, 5 Apr 2004 (UTC)

• 2004 - Sales tax holiday in Massachusetts. All sales taxes are suspended on purchases of $2500 or less.

Should this "holiday" be in here? Pakopako 13:34, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

• United States - National Creamsicles Day.

OK, "National S'Mores Day" was a holiday that was mainly pushed by the Hershey Company than the Girl Scouts of America, but what's the source for this? Pakopako 13:38, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] National Creamsicles Day

Um, Code talker#Post-war Recognition says that in the US this day is National Code Talkers Day. This page states that it is National Creamsicles Day. Could someone look into this discrepancy? 142.3.5.105 02:14, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

National Code Talker day was a one time event designated by President Reagan on August 14, 1982[1] therefore it shouldn't be listed on this page. National Creamsicle Day is a silly pseudo-holiday. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 02:24, 16 November 2007 (UTC)
