July 6 is World Kiss Day. Uzhgorod residents celebrate this day, as you can guess, with kisses. Not necessarily romantic ones – friendly kisses in the cheek and gallant kisses in the hand will also do. In many cities of the world, various contests and competitions for couples are held this day. The winners are even given prizes for the longest or most unusual kiss. And of course, it does not do without "kissing" flash mobs.
The World Kiss Day or World Kissing Day is over 100 years old. The holiday was invented in the UK. According to some sources, the initiator of the kiss holiday was… a dentist. There is a logic in his idea: if people kiss more, they care of the mouth hygiene more, and thus visit dentists more often. It is unknown if the inventive doctor got himself more clients, but the holiday became popular and later spread to other countries. Today, the World Kiss Day is celebrated in 60 countries, mostly in Europe and America.
