Leap Day 2024 offer
In 2024, being a leap year, February gets an extra day, making it 29 days long instead of the usual 28. That extra day falls on Thursday, February 29, known as Leap Day. To celebrate this rare occasion, some companies offer their customers special offers and discounts.
A leap day occurs every four years, and is added to the calendar to align our time keeping with the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. This adjustment ensures that our calendar accurately reflects the changing seasons. For people born on February 29, their birthdays are quite unique.
Since a leap day only happens once every four years, those born on this date celebrate their birthdays much less often compared to others. In fact, it is considered one of the rarest birthdays, occurring only once every 1,461 days. Companies like Krispy Kreme take advantage of the leap day by offering their customers special promotions.
What is a leap day?
Leap Day, which occurs approximately once every four years during a leap year, is an extra day added to our calendar on February 29. This extra day is necessary because it takes the Earth about 365.25 days, not exactly 365 days, to go around the Sun. Without leap years, our calendar would gradually become out of sync with the Earth’s orbit around the Sun. To prevent this, every four years we add an extra day to align our calendar with the astronomical year.
The need for leap years stems from the fact that it takes the Earth approximately 365.25 days to complete one full orbit around the Sun. By adding an extra day every four years, we account for an extra quarter of a day per year, ensuring our calendar remains accurate over time.
If we didn’t have leap years and kept subtracting six hours from each year, over the centuries, the seasons would eventually change, causing the summer months to appear in what we now think of as winter. This adjustment ensures that our calendar stays in sync with the Earth’s natural cycle, allowing us to accurately track time for a variety of purposes, including agriculture, astronomy, and everyday life.
Krispy Kreme
Krispy Kreme, Inc., formerly known as Krispy Kreme Doughnuts, Inc., is a large United States donut and coffee shop company. The company was started by Vernon Rudolph, who received a special recipe for yeast-raised donuts from a New Orleans chef. In 1937, Rudolph rented a building in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, now a historic site called Old Salem, and began selling donuts to local grocers.
Krispy Kreme grew steadily over time, and in the years between 2000 and 2016, they became a large company that sold shares to the public, hoping to expand even further. However, this did not go well and they ended up losing money. In 2016, Krispy Kreme returned to private enterprise when they were acquired by the private JAB Holding Company of Luxembourg.
Then in July 2021, Krispy Kreme began selling shares to the public again on the Nasdaq stock exchange. The name “Krispy Kreme” is spelled in a special way to make it sound exciting and delicious, using the words “crispy kreme” but with a “K” instead of a “C”.
