Not a widely celebrated holiday. Sure, Hallmark and some other sites might list it, but only alongside such things as Cellophane Tape Day and National Step in a Puddle and Splash Your Friend Day. It may perhaps be notable as a psychological mind game that children play to grow their creative thinking skills, but not as an actual set-in-stone calendar holiday. And I don't think the notability is established for either sense of it with so few sources. —Soap— 20:20, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Keep and Expand - What American child alive in the last 30 years hasn't done opposite day? Its a VERY popular game/fake holiday. Its received media attention such as an entire episode of Spongebob being not only about opposite day, but also named "Opposite Day". I'm actually shocked this isn't a sizable article. You'd think with a topic like this people would have put the time and effort into making it a decent article. I'd be willing to contribute heavily to its improvement.
