Kitchen Sink Day
November 10 · Level 1 · #2231 of 2238
Kitchen Sink Day is an informal excuse to appreciate a fixture that handles much of the kitchen's daily work. The observance has no widely established founding story or set of rituals; its guest of honour generally stays busy washing up.
How it is celebrated: household-themed posts use the occasion to share sink-care tips and ideas for tidying the surrounding space. At home, participation can be as simple as cleaning the basin and sorting the sponges.
The sink also has a linguistic career: “everything but the kitchen sink” means almost everything imaginable, usually an excessive amount.
