24.8.
[edit]The article fr:Gaufre (cuisine)#Historique claims: "In the U.S. the 24th of august is called « Waffle day » and celebrates the anniversary of the first U.S. patent for a waffle iron, granted in 1869 to Cornelius Swarthout." I'll just leave this here as I'm not competent to comment further. --BjKa (talk) 11:46, 22 November 2012 (UTC)
support for assertion
[edit]"In the United States, National Waffle Day is celebrated August 24, the date of a U.S. patent on a waffle iron." The reference is good for the date of the patent, but nothing supports the assertion "NWD is celebrated". --Richardson mcphillips (talk) 01:50, 24 August 2017 (UTC)
I can't find any support for this being a real holiday other than people saying it's frivolous and its being listed in "The Weird and Wacky Holiday Marketing Guide: Your Business Marketing Calendar of Ideas", which hardly supports it as being a serious celebration. --Lijil (talk) 09:34, 30 January 2019 (UTC)
