National Ice Cream Soda Day on Jun 30th
A scoop of ice cream, flavored syrup and milk, (a.k.a. the ice cream soda) dates back to 1876 in Philadelphia, thanks to a shop with an ice cream soda fountain, according to "The Oxford Companion to American Food and Drink." Wax nostalgic about soda fountains by watching "Back to the Future," "Pleasantville," or "Grease."
Or make your own with some vanilla ice cream and soda. But be aware, plopping a scoop or two of ice cream in a glass of soda won't create the same foaming effect as re-ordering the ingredients.
"When you pour soda over ice cream, the soda makes its bubbles as it usually does. But these bubbles don't just pop; they are held in place and stabilized by the thickening agents in the ice cream. You get a glass full of thick ice cream soda foam. If you add the ice cream after the soda, most of those soda bubbles have already formed and popped before the thickening agents can get to work," according to "A Moment of Science" on WIFU (Indiana Public Media).
Social Media Day on Jun 30th
Every day feels like social media day when you connect with friends via a social media site on a computer or smart phone. The good folks at Mashable created Social Media Day to "celebrate the revolution of media becoming social." They encourage users to meet up to celebrate. Are you willing to take your social media relationships to the next level? Or are you just fine with having BFFs you've never met IRL? The funny thing is, for people using social media daily is just like using the phone -- it's become ordinary and routine. It might feel more revolutionary to stop using social media.
* Socialbakers estimates Facebook will reach 1 billion users between June and July 2012
* Approximately 46 million Americans 12 and older now check their social media sites and services several times every day, according to Edison Research.
National Handshake Day on Jun 30th
Happy National Handshake Day! On this day, we celebrate one of the most common greetings between two people.
Did you know that handshakes have been practiced since at least the 2nd century B.C.? Many researchers believe that the handshake originated in the Western world. It was a gesture peace, demonstrated by the fact that the hands held no weapons.
Today, a handshake is offered upon meeting or parting. It is an expression of goodwill, gratitude and congratulations. Many people believe that a handshake reveals something about the character of the person who gives it. A firm handshake reflects a confident personality while a floppy handshake reveals a shy one.
On this day, go ahead and give some nice, strong handshakes. Make sure not to grip too tight!

Meteor Day on Jun 30th
The word 'meteor' refers to the visible streak of light produced by fallen debris from space—'meteoroids'. We also call these beautiful sights 'shooting stars' or 'falling stars'.
Did you know that shooting stars are actually quite small? In fact, the average meteoroid is about the size of a pebble. Though many meteoroids enter the earth’s atmosphere every day, few of them actually hit the earth. When they do, they are called 'meteorites'.
Tonight, make sure you look to the skies. If you see a meteor, don’t forget to make a wish! Happy Meteor Day!
