When you think of a picnic, you may think of cooking up a meal and carrying it along with you in a picnic basket, but you can also order to-go food for a picnic, no basket needed.

The history of picnics dates back centuries. In 1789, after the French Revolution, royal parks opened up to the public and picnic grew in popularity. In the 1800s, picnics spread to the British Isles. Then, in 1989, protestors along the Hungarian and Austrian border participated in the Pan-European Picnic, which favored German reunification. On Bastille Day, 2000, France organized a 600-mile long picnic to celebrate the new millennium and break a picnic world record.

In a National Today survey of 1,000 Americans, 52% of people said they love picnics. When asked who their top picnicking buddies were, 49% of people said family, 32% of people said their significant other, 8% said their entire friend group, 6% said their best friend, and 5% of people said their pets.
