How I Celebrated

First try didn't go so well, the wrapper immediately ripped when I tried opening the Starburst. Anyhow. Strawberries are one of the best fruits of all time. Best flavor too. I mean the internet knows that pink starburst are the best.

History

Punchbowl on strawberries and Kahlua
I think it is funny that ancient Romans used to try to whiten their teeth with strawberries or that they tried to whiten them at all. I feel like that tradition definitely ended somewhere cause even movie stars had some yellow teeth up through the 80s.
I also find it interesting that Kahlua is a cocktail already and they use it to make more cocktails. I guess that is like adding candy bars to ice cream (sounds like an Xzibit meme).

Merchandise

I still have big dreams of putting together a strawberry shortcake outfit
