🍩Fat Thursday - A Sweet Madness + lemon🍋
On the day of Fat Thursday calories don’t count, because it’s the holy day of 🍩donuts🍩, where we all collectively justify stuffing ourselves with sweets as if there were no tomorrow! ༼つ ◕_◕ ༽つ🍰 🍩
But did you know that this day looks completely different in other countries? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 🌍
🤍❤️🥟🇵🇱 Poland (This is my country!): Fat Thursday "Tłusty Czwartek" = donuts, faworki (angel wings), and testing how much sugar and fat the body can consume in a single day.
❤️🖤💛🍺🇩🇪 Germany: Weiberfastnacht, or “Women’s Carnival,” where ladies take charge and… cut off men’s... ties ✂️👔 (while also devouring Berliner Pfannkuchen - a type of jelly donut).
💙🤍❤️🐸🇫🇷 France: Mardi Gras - literally “Fat Tuesday”! Instead of donuts, the French celebrate with stacks of pancakes 🥞 and carnival festivities!
💚🤍❤️🍕🇮🇹 Italy: The Venetian Carnival, where elegance, masks, and endless frittelle - small, deep-fried dough balls covered in sugar - take center stage.
❤️🤍💙✨🇺🇸 USA: No Fat Thursday, but they do have National Donut Day, celebrated in June. Because, of course, Americans need their own version.
❤️🤍💙👑🇬🇧 United Kingdom: Pancake Day – instead of donuts, the British celebrate by eating pancakes and competing in races where participants must flip a pancake while running! 🥞🏃♀️
🤍➕❤️🏔️🇨🇭 Switzerland: Schmotzige Dunschtig, marking the start of Fasnacht! In Lucerne, at 5 AM, locals dressed in colorful costumes flood the streets, while fireworks shot from a ship on Lake Lucerne signal the beginning of the celebration. The carnival lasts until Tuesday, with even stores turning into bars! 🎭🎶
🍋🍋🍋**And now, something important…**🍋🍋🍋
Since you're already stuffing your face with donuts, lick a lemon. Yes, you read that right. Lick a lemon! Don’t ask why. Just… do it, hehe~🍋
So...? Great feeling on the tongue, isn't it? xDDDDD
And if you need an excuse to grab another donut - remember to stay active! Do a few squats, go for a walk, or dance like a maniac in your kitchen - whatever works! Donuts are amazing, but if every day was Fat Thursday… well, let’s just say it might end up being more "fat" than "Thursday."
