    I've never heard of it, but I do like those Paczki donuts. They sell them twice a year at the store my mom works at & she usually brings a box home. They're delicious!

        aka "mardi gras" - the day before ash wednesday / the start of lent

        the idea is that you party and enjoy all the things you're going to be giving up for lent

        which somehow has turned into flashing your boobs/dick for plastic beads in public

          Shame isn't it?

          I've heard of Mardi Gras, but I had no idea that it was in conjunction with lent.

        I went to the grocery store to pick up a few things for a guest coming into town and I saw them! I had to try them since you mentioned it. XD They're yummy!

    I've never heard of this. It sounds like a Polish holiday.

    Have you heard of Kanamara Matsuri? It's very popular in Japan. Seriously though I have never heard of Paczki Day.

      I'm far from Poland in Detroit, but it's always a big deal here! We have a large Polish population.
