FishOnWas not even "a thing" in the US until Corona made it into a major marketing campaign strictly to sell more beer. It worked.

GibbWe usually go out for Mexican food on March 17th, and visit the Irish Pub on May 5th.
Doesn't mean anything in the long run, but the wait for the tables is much shorter this way.

PASigWe Americans did the same thing for Cinco de Mayo as we did for Saint Patrick's Day: took some low key or minor holiday in the host country and turned it into something completely different that everyone thinks is what the host country does, but doesn't in reality.
In Ireland, Saint Patrick's Day was a religious holiday and not even a really big one and we turned it into a drinking fest with phony (I'm looking at you corned beef!) "Irish" food.
Don't even get me started on the people that say "Happy St Patty's Day"
