Fun Observances

Rice Krispie Treat Day

September 18 is Rice Krispie Treat Day, an unofficial holiday dedicated to the no-bake, quick to make yummy gooey sweet treat.

Homemade marshmallow rice krispy treat in bar form.

Thought to have been invented at the Kellogg Company in the late 1930s, the treats are made of Rice Krispie cereal and melted marshmallows, though sometimes the marshmallows can be substituted with caramel or syrup as the binding agent.

Rice Bubbles

Rice Krispies is a popular breakfast cereal made by Kellogs since 1928. While Rice Krispie treats were usually homemade, Kellogs trademarked the brand name Rice Krispie Treats and started selling a pre-packaged version of the treat in 1995.

Today, any sweet treat that uses Rice Krispies and some form of sweet binding agent is called a rice krispie treat. In Australia and New Zealand, where the cereal is marketed as Rice Bubbles, the sweet treat is called rice bubble slices or rice bubble cakes.

How to Celebrate?

  • Make Rice Krispies treats and share them with your friends and co-workers.
  • Add gourmet twists to the snack by adding nuts, saffron and cardamom.
  • Make your Rice Krispies treats more colorful by crushing some candies or adding some sprinkles to them.
  • Make Rice Krispies pops. Mold the treat into a shape of your choice, insert a stick in the treat and when it hardens, serve as is or decorate with melted sugar, icing or sprinkles.
  • Staying away from sugar? What about making a savory version of the treat? Just substitute the marshmallows with cheese, flour and butter.

Did You Know…

…that rice is the seed of the rice plant?

You measure my life in hours and I serve you by expiring. I’m quick when I’m thin and slow when I’m fat. The wind is my enemy.  Hard riddles want to trip you up, and this one works by hitting you with details from every angle. The big hint comes at the end with the wind. What does wind threaten most? You have to stretch your brain to come up with a something tiny and unexpected.

Answer: A candle

Q. A prisoner is forced to go into one of three rooms, but he can choose which room. The first room is ablaze with fire. The second one is rigged with explosives that will go off as soon as he enters. The third contains a pair of lions who haven't eaten in years. Which room should he choose to survive?

A. The third room—any lions who hadn't eaten in years would be dead!

Q. What five-letter word becomes shorter if you add two letters to it?

Q. A man was driving a truck. His headlights weren't on, and the moon wasn't out. Ahead of him, a woman dressed in all black started crossing the road. Fortunately, the man braked so she could cross. How did he see her?

A. It was the middle of the day!

I’m thinking of opening a firing range where all the targets are shaped like computers with screens full of pop-up ads.
