National Cheese Doodle Day is observed worldwide every March 5. This day celebrates cheese doodles, which are crunchy, orange snacks made from puffed cornmeal and coated with cheddar cheese. Approximately 15 million pounds of cheese doodles are produced in the USA each year. The origins of cheese doodles are debated, with one account attributing their invention to Morrie Yohai, who took over Old London Foods after his military service, while others suggest they first appeared in the 1930s in either New Orleans or Wisconsin. Regardless of their history, people are encouraged to enjoy their favorite cheese doodles, which come in various shapes, including the original curly form, balls, and animal shapes, while sharing them with friends on this fun food holiday.
