🍡 March 28 – Something on a Stick Day: Because Food Just Tastes Better This Way 🍭
What is Something on a Stick Day?
If you’ve ever thought, “This meal would be so much better if I didn’t have to use a fork,” congratulations—you are the spiritual founder of Something on a Stick Day! Celebrated every year on March 28, this glorious day is dedicated to skewered, sticked, and stab-able foods of all kinds. Corn dogs? Obviously. Popsicles? Of course. A full Thanksgiving turkey on a stick? Too ambitious? Maybe.
The origins of this holiday are mysterious (probably created by someone with a love for convenience food and minimal dishwashing). But really, do we need to know why it exists? Or do we just need to embrace it and grab the nearest stickable snack?
Why Celebrate This?
Because eating things off a stick is objectively more fun. 🎉
Because the State Fair is months away, and we need our deep-fried fix. 🍗
Because skewers = fewer dishes. 🍽️
Because it’s an excuse to experiment with ridiculous stick-based foods. 🤪
Because kebabs exist, and that alone is worth celebrating. 🍢
