July 29
National Cheese Sacrifice Purchase Day happens on Monday July 29, 2024.
It’s that time of year again! No, not summertime – it’s time for the National Cheese Sacrifice Purchase Day! This yearly event, which falls on July 29th, is a time for cheese lovers to come together and purchase their favourite cheese for the sole purpose of sacrificing it to a mousetrap.
So why participate in this strange holiday? Well, for one thing, it’s a great excuse to eat more cheese! While this holiday used to be seen as a way to rid your house of mice, we now have better methods of pest control. More recently, this holiday has become a fun way to raise awareness about the plight of mice everywhere. Mice are often seen as pests, but they’re actually quite cute and intelligent creatures. By sacrificing some cheese to a mouse, we can show our appreciation for these little rodents while also enjoying some delicious cheese at the same time.
So what are you waiting for? Head to your local cheese shop and pick up your favorite variety – it’s time to get ready for National Cheese Sacrifice Purchase Day!
Not sure what type of cheese to sacrifice this year? Here are a few of our favourites:
Cheddar: A classic cheese that pairs well with just about anything, cheddar is a great choice for those who want a versatile cheese that can be used in a variety of dishes. Plus, its orange colour is sure to stand out on any mousetrap (just be sure not to set your trap if you don’t want to hurt the mice)!
Gouda: Another versatile cheese, Gouda is perfect for those who want a slightly sweeter flavour. It’s also nice and firm, so it won’t crumble apart on your mousetrap. We recommend pairing it with some fruit or nuts for a truly special treat.
Brie: If you’re looking for a real show-stopper, look no further than brie. This soft, creamy cheese is sure to impress anyone who sees it – mice included! Just be careful not to put too much on your mousetrap, as it might be difficult for the mouse to take all of it at once.
No matter what type of cheese you choose, make sure to enjoy National Cheese Sacrifice Purchase Day on July 29th! It’s a great excuse to eat more cheese and help out mice at the same time. So head to your local cheese shop and get ready to sacrifice some deliciousness this July!
