Today, we're tapping into our creativity with a classic childhood toy and savoring a delicious, creamy dip. Originally created in the 1930s as a wallpaper cleaner, Plato found new life as a children's toy in the 1950s. Since then, it has become a beloved staple in playrooms and classrooms around the world. Sparking creativity and fine motor skills in young minds. From dinosaurs to flowers, the possibilities are endless. So get your hands on some dough and start creating because today is National Play-Doh Day. ♪ Plato's got the toy for you ♪ ♪ For playtime fun parties too ♪ ♪ All you do is choose ♪ ♪ The toy that's made for you ♪ National Play-Doh Day. I loved Plato when I was a kid. I'd wadded up, stick it in my ears. Found out it wasn't a great ear plug. Why would you stick it in your ears? No, I just found out it wasn't good for that. You were that kid, huh? Okay, did you also stick it in your nose? Nope, nope. Okay, alright, just the ears. Other kids did, though. Never played with that stuff ever again. Wow. Wow. Taking you back, huh? Alright, guacamole made from ripe avocados, lime juice, salt and often mixed with tomatoes, onions and cilantro has roots in Aztec culture. This creamy dip not only adds a burst of flavor but also packs a nutritional punch with its healthy fats and vitamins. Whether you're enjoying it with tortilla chips as a topping for tacos or simply on toast, guacamole brings a fresh, delicious taste to any meal. So, grab some avocados and celebrate because today is National Guacamole Day. The best guacamole hashtag guac attack, hashtag new chips on the guac? I love guacamole and chips. Why is it when I see guacamole, I think of guacamole? Is that what the name is called? Really? No. That is not what I think of. I think of food. You do? Blackamole. Yeah. Guacamole. Wow. Alright, I'm Latoya Johnson. I'm confused, Marlo Anderson. Thank you for joining us on our journey to celebrate every day.
