Founded in 1991, the IAPWDOTKS, or International Association of People Who Dine Over The Kitchen Sink, established Sinkie Day. What’s a Sinkie? One who occasionally dines over the kitchen sink, which we’re pretty sure includes most of the human population.
Now, it’s worth mentioning that the scope of being a Sinkie goes far beyond just eating over the sink, it includes those habits involved with getting a quick bite to eat.
If you eat off the dashboard of your car, drink milk straight from the carton, or eat straight out of the refrigerator (typically while putting the uneaten portion back) you’re a Sinkie.
Being a Sinkie isn’t about being lazy, it’s about enjoying the finer things in a way that doesn’t require the formality of a well-set table. Instead, you can grab that donut on the run, eat the hamburger off the dash of your car, or even grab your favorite snack and soda from the vending machine, it’s all OK for a Sinkie!
This, incidentally, is why Thanksgiving is a favored Sinkie holiday! You just grab a roll, slap some potatoes on it, dip the cold turkey in gravy, and put it in the roll! You can eat this over the sink or just head out on the run, convenience eating at its finest!
