On This Day

National Have a Coke Day! The first Coca-Cola was sold on this day in 1886. Coke is my favorite dark cola. Cocaine was an original ingredient giving the “coke” name to it.

National Coconut Cream Pie Day! A cream pie filled with rich cream, milk, flour, eggs, and coconut. It is also topped with coconut and sometimes whipped cream.
