The Juicy Facts of why we Celebrate National Cheeseburger Day 2016


How many burgers do you think Americans eat in a year? Some say we average three per week or more than 150 a year. Others say that, all together, we’re eating 50 billion burgers each year.
What about cheeseburgers? When it comes to them, our favorite cheese to put on our burger is cheddar. The next favorites? American cheese, bleu cheese and Swiss cheese.
I’ll bet millions of Americans will be consuming plenty of cheeseburgers on Sunday, September 18. Why? Because it’s a national food day–specifically National Cheeseburger Day.


Americans eat 50 billion burgers (cheese and otherwise) a year! Celebrate National Cheeseburger Day (September 18) with these other juicy facts.
