Who knew! There’s even a national day for people who fancy having an extra dessert.
We have decided to celebrate them all with a look back at some great days from Hartlepool’s past.
Get ready for a feast of custard, chocolate, poetry, books and fitness!

2. National Potato Day
We have got an eye on National Potato Day which arrives on August 19. In the meantime, let's re-live the memories of a potato picking day at Golden Flatts Primary School in 2009. CATCHLINE HM4309HARVEST Photo: LH
3. National Fitness Day
If you fancy getting into shape, it's National Fitness Day on September 28. Closer to home, fitness instructors l-r Cheryl Laycock, Tracy Evans and Jill Patchcott were trying out the bouncy fitness shoes the Life Centre, High Tunstall, in 2015. Photo: Picture by Kevin Brady
4. National Bookshop Day
