What to eat on Something on a Stick Day

There’s no shortage of random food holidays to celebrate. Tater Tot Day, Cereal Day, Garlic Day, Lobster Day: If there’s a food, there’s a holiday to celebrate it. But some holidays are less restrictive and give you a lot to work with. One such holiday is Something on a Stick Day, which is celebrated on the 28^th of March 2021. What’s the point of such a holiday? It’s simple: Have fun with your food by celebrating delicious dishes on a stick.

Now that we’ve covered the why, it’s time to consider the how? Here are five common foods that make Something on a Stick Day worth celebrating.

Ice Cream Sticks

This one goes without saying. If you’ve ever had the pleasure of enjoying an ice cream stick on a hot summer’s day, you’ll know why this frozen treat comes to mind on this holiday. Instead of ordering the same flavour you usually do, why not get a Milky Lane NiceCream Stix bundle? The flavours offered include Oreo Chocolate, Caramel Crunch, Bubblegum Bingo, or Strawberry White Chocolate, and you can choose between a bundle of 4, 8, or 16.

Fruit Kebabs

Fruit kebabs can be served as a healthy snack or dessert — it’s entirely up to you. If you’re going to share the kebabs with your kids, use an array of shapes, sizes, and colours to reel them in. Fruit isn’t as appealing as ice cream to kids, so make sure the kebabs look as good as they taste. A friendly warning, though: Avoid bananas, apples, and pears. These fruits turn brown quickly and will look unappetising on your kebabs.

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Kebabs

This is probably more fitting for a quiet night with your special someone. Strawberries and chocolate are a Valentine’s Day staple, but nothing’s stopping you from enjoying this lover’s treat on Something on a Stick Day. You can also sprinkle hundreds and thousands for a bit of variety.

Waffle Kebabs

Waffles work just as well on a plate as they do on a stick. Instead of ordering waffles and enjoying them on a plate, switch things up by having them delivered to you before you cut them up and serve them on a stick. Get creative by adding your favourite sweet treats or fresh fruit the skewers. Banana Split Skewer

Here’s a portable version of everyone’s favourite classic dessert. You’ll need fresh fruit, nuts, and melted chocolate to make this customisable treat. Alternatively, you can add your fruit on a skewer and order a sundae to top off your dessert.

When it comes to food, there isn’t much that can’t be put on a stick. Although the origins of Something on a Stick Day are unclear, one thing is certain: Foodies will find any excuse to get creative.
