Welcome to March 23rd, 2023 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate dynamic duos and useful pups. If you enjoy chips and dip, you can thank a tea company for the idea. In the years following World War II, the American suburbs grew rapidly, as did the demand for food and recipes for entertaining. Lipton, the British company known for its tea, marketed its onion soup mix as a way to make dip. Just add it to some sour cream and voila!—an American snack legend was born. For a while, this became known as the California Dip, but now we just know it as good ol’ chip and dip. On National Chip and Dip Day, whip up this dynamic duo, and let the celebration begin. And if you invite your friends just be sure not to double dip. Anyone who has ever adopted a puppy knows they are lots of work. But most dog lovers know they are well worth the training. When Chloe Johns was only 7 years old, she was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. Her mother Kathy worried night and day because her blood sugar had to be monitored every two hours. Thanks to a flat coat retriever named Ruby, the girl has a constant companion who can even tell by her breathing whether Chloe needs insulin. The two are inseparable even when Chloe goes to school. On National Puppy Day cuddle up with your favorite pup and enjoy the sloppy kisses. You never know how this new best friend will shape your life for the better. I’m Anna Devere and I’m Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
