Fat Tuesday is one of the greatest days of the year. Not only do you get to literally eat everything you can get our hands on – we’re talking 15 sausage patties, several dozen beignets, a couple hundred Sour Patch Kids (because who doesn’t f*cking love Sour Patch Kids), and anything else fried and delicious within a six mile radius of us – you also get to drink your face off.
Sounds great, right? But before you do anything, learn more about WTF you’re celebrating.
What is Fat Tuesday?
Fat Tuesday is the day before Ash Wednesday, a day of fasting and the first day of Lent. Also known as Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday is when people go wild and eat whatever they want before they have to give it all up the following day.
Ok, sounds equally awesome and horrible. Why revel in the best things life has to offer only to have it taken away from you? Sounds kind of sad… you better start drinking early.
