Leap Day Deals: Where to Find Discounts on February 29
Yes, you can get free guac at Chipotle. Here's how.
Tomorrow marks Leap Day, the day the calendar keeps us all in check. You see, every four years, we have to pop an extra day on the calendar as the Earth doesn't actually take 365 days to revolve around the sun. It takes 365.242190. And, as the National Air and Space Museum explains, if we didn't pop a leap year on the calendar every four years to account for this difference, our seasons would get wildly out of wack. The museum added that in about 700 years, June and July would fall in winter, and December would be the dead center of summer. Yes, we need this extra day. But, we don't just need to experience it. We can celebrate it too, thanks to a few food companies offering Leap Day deals.
