Saturday marks Sweetest Day. Mike Polk Jr. is here to share some misconceptions about the holiday.That's good as far as it goes, but WKYC is a Cleveland station, so it ignores Detroit's contribution to the origin of the holiday, which I mentioned in Happy Sweetest Day! and Happy Sweetest Day 2017! On the one hand, I shouldn't be surprised. On the other, hmph! The cure for that would be one of the Detroit TV stations putting out their own versions of the history of the holiday, but I the best I could find is What's The Buzz - Sweetest Day on Live in the D from WDIV's Live in the D.
Jason Carr started off a popular but factually wrong opinion of the day but at least mentioned the involvement of the candy industry in its origin. He still neglected to include that the part Detroit played in the holiday's history. Maybe if he actually liked the day, he would. Here's to hoping someone in the local media does that in the future. In the meantime, here's a Sweetest Day meme.
Happy Sweetest Day!
