International Kissing Day: July 6th

Ahhh, it’s Kissing Day. The objective of this very special day, is to appreciate the kiss. So, go ahead and swap some spit today. Pucker up and give out a big, juicy kiss to anyone and everyone.

Kissing originated thousands, and perhaps millions of years ago. It is believed to have originated from mouth to mouth feeding of parents to a child. My, it certainly has evolved over the centuries. But, why is that? The answer is simply because it makes us feel good.

There’s all sorts of kisses, for all sorts of reasons. There’s the peck on the cheek, the full on the mouth kiss, and the French Kiss, the favorite among lovers.

People are not the only creatures to kiss. Apes, cats, dogs, and dolphins, are among the animals that share a kiss or two..

Did You Know? Okay, you may not want to know this juicy tidbit. Kissing can transmit 80 million microbes of bacteria.

The World Record Longest Kiss: Ekkachai and Laksana Tiranarathold from Thailand hold this envious record at 58 hours, 35 minutes and 58 seconds. How would you like to beat that!?
