Did you know that according to the most recent census data, over 96% of the American public believes chocolate chunks and the cookies in which they're baked do not have adequate representation on the National Day Calendar?

Although we were initially curious why the Census Bureau gathered such super specific data, we can't say we were surprised that so many of our fellow citizens care deeply about the lack of chocolate-chunk-centric national food holidays. So, we decided to look into the origins of the closest food holiday we could find - National Chocolate Chip Day - and our subsequent discovery of some pretty bonkers info has led us to call for the official renaming of National Chocolate Chip Day to National Chocolate Chunk Day. 

Please find the aforementioned bonkers info below:
Most histories of National Chocolate Chip Day maintain that this holiday is celebrated on May 15th to commemorate the day in 1937 when Ruth Graves Wakefield added pieces of a chocolate bar to the cookies she was baking, thereby inventing chocolate chip cookies. However, we noticed one pretty essential piece of info about this discovery. Wakefield's chocolatey addition to her recipe is described as "cut-up chunks of a semi-sweet chocolate bar" meaning that in actuality, it was chocolate chunk cookies that were invented that day, not chocolate chip cookies.  

Please join us in our petition to officially rename National Chocolate Chip Day to National Chocolate Chunk Day to celebrate the chunk-a-licious chocolate creation that was truly invented on May 15th, 1937.
