953 nut 59,589 #1 Posted Saturday at 11:45 AM International Cherry Pit Spitting Day, celebrated on the first Saturday in July, has made us realize more can be done with cherries than just eating them. This year it is celebrated on July 5. Cherry pit spitting is the act of spitting out remains of cherries from one’s mouth to send them as far away as possible. Thousands of people, comprising contestants and spectators around the U.S., gather at specified venues to participate and witness this exciting holiday. 2 3 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 66,418 #3 Posted Saturday at 12:35 PM Maybe I’m a traditionalist, and I like round balls over sabot slugs. I’d rather eat a quart of cherries than to be forced to eat watermelon any day. Nonetheless, my grandparents’ old front yard should be an orchard for all the various shaped seeds my cousins and I spit at each other, or did long distance competition shoots! 3 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lane Ranger 11,378 #6 Posted Saturday at 01:00 PM (edited) I have never been in a Cherry pit spitting contest but I have done my bit of cherry picking on three cherry trees my grandfather had. He had 1/4 acre of strawberry plants we weeded in early spring. But I have participated in the WATERMELON SEED SPITTING Contest as evidenced by my ribbon! There are the kinds of exciting and entertaining events we now spend our retirement time on in addition to the Wheel Horse tractor Shows!
