“Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o’clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.” – Barbara Jordan
History of National Chocolate Wafer Day
The origination of National Chocolate Wafer Day remains obscure. It is believed to be created by a food company, i.e., National Biscuit Company (now known as Nabisco), to enhance their sales and also to market the chocolate wafer widely. In 1924, chocolate wafers were begun sold by Nabisco in tins along with sugar wafers and ginger wafers. According to a Washington Post article, Nabisco’s published an advertisement in the year 1929 for chocolate wafers. The ad showed the wafers being refrigerated overnight with the whipped cream resulting in a mouthwatering dessert. In 1930, each tin had the recipe for a refrigerated chocolate wafer roll printed on it. Thus the chocolate wafer evolved and reached popularity.
