About Something on a Stick Day
When is Something on a Stick Day? This holiday is always celebrated on March 28
Something on a Stick Day is today, a March 28 holiday. It celebrates things on a stick. Usually, that means food and a different way to eat it. You can have a corn dog, cook a marshmallow or hot dog over the campfire, shish-kababs, and anything else as long as it’s on a skewer or a stick. Isn’t this just a neat day? We thought you’d agree.
So what comes on a stick? Practically anything. The first thing that comes to mind is popsicles and fudgesicles. Hotdogs and marshmallows on a stick are popular at campfires. There are also corndogs, shrimp, shish-kabobs, and many Chinese treats like pot stickers. When you use chopsticks, everything is on a stick! Cocktail wieners and cheese are picked and eaten with a toothpick. It qualifies. Wooden skewers used when cooking on the grill, contain all sorts of meats and vegetables. The list goes on and on.
You can also get just about anything on a stick when receiving food samples at a store or festival.
Celebrate this fun day by serving food for meals and snacks on a stick. The kids will love it. So will you!
BTW: We are glad that today is Something on a Stick Day and not “Something on a Shingle Day!
