White Castle introduced National Slider Day in May, 2015.

With its founding in 1921 in Wichita Kansas, White Castle, touted as “America’s first fast-food hamburger chain,” introduced its 5-cent Original Slider, selling them by the sack, according to the burger chain.

The Slider’s iconic 2-by-2-inch patty is 100% beef and “steamed-grilled on a bed of onions.”

In 2014, Time magazine declared the White Caste Slider “the most influential burger of all time.”

“The only thing better than polishing off a Sack of Sliders alone, is doing it with friends,” the chain said on its website.
