Parks and Recreation was one of the best shows on television in recent years. Throughout the seven seasons, Parks and Rec was on the air it made many people laugh until their stomanch hurt. In addition to the laughs, its popularity helped shaped some of the events and our thoughts towards life in general. 

Treat yo self

Parks and Recreation popularized the term “Treat yo self” and is now used by almost everyone. People often use this term to justify very expensive purchase they have made for themselves.

DJ Roomba 

DJ Roomba was one of the more simple and fun inventions created on a Parks episode. It made cleaning the house more fun by attaching an ipod to an roomba so it cleaned the room and played music. 

Galentines Day 

Galentine’s Day (February 13) was another event brought into popularity by the show. It is a holiday to show love and appreciation to all your female friends before Valentine’s Day. Since the episode had aired, more women can be seen celebrating Galentine’s Day with their friends. A Galentine’s Day celebration is also a way to get together with their single friends on Valentine’s day.

Breakfast Food 

The way Ron Swanson and Leslie Knope describe breakfast food on Parks and Rec make you realize just how good it is. The show makes a point that breakfast food is wonderful at any time of the day.
