A friendly reminder to our dear friends.

St. Patrick's Day really is a global celebration, nowhere more so than in America, where the country goes especially Irish-mad for one day of the year.

It just doesn't work. Luckily, the very talented Irish artist behind Twisteddoodles has illustrated this salient point with a fantastic graph that demonstrates the subtle, yet crucial, differences. Take a look... Paddy's Day Image via Twisteddoodles. We're going to carry this around with us now. giphy (20)
