Okay, I'll admit it. I forgot about S.O.S.A.D. this year until some people on Facebook reminded me.
I made it up on a lark about 4 years ago, and every June 21st since, I've made a special effort to partake of as many orange snacks and beverages as I could handle. If the people of Facebook hadn't reminded me, I would be eating normal food all day like everyone else. But now I'll be eating nothing but stuff colored orange all day long. Thanks for the reminder, friends!! <--somewhat sarcastic
Why did I make up this holiday? I can't really remember, but it's been interesting.
If you'd like to join in, I may have a few prizes for the best photos I get from your S.O.S.A.D. celebration. Send them to me here.

I suppose foods made with saffron are not included, as their orange colour is not so suspiciously derived. Enjoy the happy day!
I seem to remember that you had been doing a lot of photos with cheese puffs, and the subject came up that they, along with other orange snack foods, don't get much respect. Thus, SOSAD was born.
I will be enjoying orange soda and Chester Cheetah's Cheesy Puffcorn. I might indulge in some nacho-cheese Doritos, too, with melted Velveeta.
I remembered all month, but forgot this week! Time to do some last-minute shopping. My kids and I have celebrated SOSAD for the last two years and I've spread the snack food love throughout our group of friends. Viva la SOSAD!
So that's why the Cheezits jumped into my cart. Well, I had my dose! On the odd occasion I indulge in boxed mac n cheese I always want carrot sticks and orange juice to go with it; perhaps that will be my SOSAD meal going forward (I know, it's not all fake orange!). Don't forget the plastic wrapped orange plastic cheese slices...
You are freakin' brilliant! I love this blog!
