Of many feasts that are thrown in the Gastronesia, only few could compete with the grandeur of McMalin Day, which is held annually on 9^th September. It is the day that the legendary pill was released to the public. One could hardly remember what happened three hundred years ago, as there were very little record of that magical day due to the craze that swept the nation which drove everybody into euphoria, thus reducing productive hours greatly in the first few days. However, it is still widely celebrated due to its importance in changing the course of history.

Below are examples of the few records and mentions of the day that survived until now.

“9^th September 1653 – The release of pills to the public will be a day to remember for all.” –The Batavya Post

“My sister has just been taken away. The last words I heard from her was ‘I could taste everything.. I could taste nitrogen in the air… It’s horrible! Brother!’ as they dragged her out of sight. I think she might have bought the pills released today… ” –Diary entry, an unknown civilian

These diary entries are obviously disregarded as official history records due to their personal nature and dubious recounts. They are archived in the public library in the Restricted Section which will require personal identification to access.
