Did you know …
That “Black Friday” was originally a day for getting rid of unwanted babies and children? It’s true! People would bring their least favorite kids out to the woods or a cornfield and shoo them off, White Fang style.
So how did the day we used to call “Lil’ Dumper Day” become the sweet-deals-holiday, Black Friday? Well, people who wanted a kid of their own or some unpaid farm laborers quickly realized that there wasn’t a better day than Lil’ Dumper Day to stock up. It would later get the name “Black Friday” when the Hallmark Corporation tried to rebrand it to sell greeting cards.
