Today for WHO KNEW WEDNESDAY, we talked about Be a Kid Again Day and ways you can try to be a kid again. We also talked about Freezer Pop Day and National Blueberry Day.

WHO KNEW FACT CHECK: Popsicles were originally marketed as a health food

Be a Kid Again Day: When was the last time you felt like a kid? Try doing something you might not have done since you were a kid, like running through a sprinkler or swinging on swings.

Freezer Pop Day: The world’s largest popsicle was created in 2015. To celebrate National Ice Cream Day, The Nékter Juice Bar chain in California created a giant popsicle that measured over 18 feet long and weighed over a ton. 

National Blueberry Day: During the American Civil War of the 1860s, blueberries were collected and sent to troops in care packages for use as a food staple.
