The Irony of National Apology Day and Black Love Day Falling on a Friday This Year? ❤🙀

National Days on Friday
February 13th, 2026

In Australia Friday the 13th is often referred to as 'Black Friday'.

If a Friday falls on the thirteenth day of a month,
 it is called ‘Friday the 13th’ or a ‘Black Friday’

National Cheddar Day

Another irony is that 'Cheddar Cheese Day' falls on a Friday this year, too.

As Australia's biggest selling Cheddar Cheese brand 'Coon' was renamed 'Cheer' to avoid the controversy around the brand name.

Cheer cheese

"On 13 January 2021, Lino A. Saputo, the chair and CEO of Saputo Inc., announced the new name as "Cheer" cheese. He said, "Treating people with respect and without discrimination is one of our basic principles". A number of other Australian companies also rebranded some of their products which have names with racist connotations in 2020, and others face pressure to do so."

Looks like we're in for a weird day?

Cheers;-)
