Your 25th birthday could be a little spicy.

        People in Denmark are known for being happy. They also have some interesting traditions. One of the most interesting ones is related to cinnamon and birthdays. If an individual is not married by their 25th birthday, their friends and family will cover them in cinnamon powder. It’s a fun tradition that marks an important stage in life.

        The origins of the tradition probably started hundreds of years ago when selling 5 spices was an important job. Men would travel around to sell spices like cinnamon and pepper. Because they traveled so much, it was hard for them to find someone to marry. When these men turned 30, they were given gifts related to pepper, usually a pepper mill. It is believed that covering people in cinnamon on their 25th birthday is a recent tradition that is based on this.
