December 30th, 2025 is National Bicarbonate of Soda Day

New Year's Day often means queasy stomachs. One old fashioned hangover remedy and antacid is therefore in the spotlight today, National Bicarbonate of Soda Day. But bicarb is much more useful in the kitchen as its alter ego, baking soda! And its not just a leavening agent. Baking soda is a key ingredient in several personal hygiene products, from toothpaste to deodorant.
