Why is International Kissing Day celebrated on April 13?

The origin of the celebration of the Day of the Kiss is relatively recent and to understand it you have to go back to 2011, when a couple starred in the longest kiss in history in a contest in Thailand on a day like this. This kiss lasted about 46 hours, 24 minutes and 9 seconds. But there is still more and that is that this duo, who already had a brand never registered, managed again in 2013 to surpass themselves and register a new world record with a kiss that lasted 58 hours, 35 minutes and 58 seconds.

One of the curiosities is that in this last contest the couples did not have the right to sit down and had to kiss non-stop. Yeah, not even when they went to the bathroom or drank some water through a straw. Something that explains that since then in many countries of the world on a day like this a contest is held in which lovers have to try to get the longest kiss in the world.
