I don't know where it started, but this is a pretty common novelty concept here in the US. Idea is you bring a group or family and buy a ludicrous amount of ice cream, dumped in a kitchen sink like a giant sundae, and then all go in together on trying to finish it.
I will say this particular example does seem to have a lot more piping than necessary underneath the basin ...!
I always thought the idea of this was they were SO big they even included the kitchen sink; because normally excess was described as "everything but the kitchen sink" and this is even more than that.
Everything but the kitchen sink is a common saying here to basically mean give me everything you have in your kitchen aside from the kitchen sink whereas this gives you the kitchen sink too
Fair enough haha.
There's this one specific Ice Cream shop in Disney World where they do this, and it's a whole "thing" where when you order it the whole restaurant goes dark and a siren goes off and there's a little interaction between the staff and all the customers. It's pretty funny, if not a bit silly. Good ice cream too!
I don’t actually know the price lol. I’m just ballparking it from having gone to Disneyland so many times. I’m assuming Disneyworld is in the same price range or more expensive.
r/unexpectedfactorial
it's typically served to an entire family and then they portion it out into smaller dishes to eat individually.
There's another place in Disney that has a much smaller (the kitchen sink at beaches and cream feeds 4-6 people), onez that's more of an individual serving, and it's just a stainless bowl made to look like a sink.
I was there when it happened once. It freaked me out a little bit because I was thinking we were gonna be emergency evacuated, until I realized what was happening.
Yes… If you’ll look at my other comment, I did mention it. It’s a third pan… a Third pan is an insert for a hotel tray.
In any event, I was using simpler terms for the person who thought it was a sink
Maybe I'm extrapolating unreasonably. I know it's a decently famous Disney thing - which, considering how culturally dominant that particular institution is, I assume is copied around at other places.
And now that I'm reading other commenters and their experiences, I'm thinking I'm probably right. I've really never been right on the Internet before, so that's a good feeling.
This is another case where the container is a little odd, but it's easy to sterilize. It's a stainless steel sink and you can just bleach the shit out of it. Better than trying to keep a salt block or three seashells clean
After three days, Try google. But a hotel pan is the more generic name for a steam table pan as they are used for many more things than just steam trays….including, but not limited to storing ice cream.
It's not an actual sink. It's a very common container used in kitchens, they just attach it to the pipe to look like a sink. 1/3rd pan metal cambro is what they're called
Plus, you can weld a fitting to the bottom that allows you to detach after each use and run it through a regular dishwasher so it's clean and sterile. I think this one is fine.
You mean soap and water hasn't been enough to keep my three bathroom seashells clean? Well damnnit, and here I was thinking I was being all eco friendly!
Because s traps can get sucked dry easier than a p trap. They used to be common here but now I think p-traps are required pretty much everywhere with a trap arm length of at least 2x the pipe diameter (or something like that, I'm not a plumber).
Fair enough, the way our systems are vented would negate that also if you use an S&P trap in the p trap configuration the arm is automatically about 3 pipe diameters long before u even connect it to anything
Is this Colonial's in Naperville, IL? When I was a kid this used to be a huge deal. Soccer team won? "Let's go to Colonials and get a kitchen sink!" which would mean 10 or so boys attacking that ice cream singularity with individual spoons.
Anyway... good times.
It definitely looks like a Colonial’s. Their Aurora location closed and I think they only have two locations now(st Charles and Naperville). Definitely was part of my childhood as well.
I have no idea, I saw the photo posted somewhere else but it seems to be somewhere in America. It might be that place unless there's multiple restaurants serving ice cream in sinks across the country haha
Honestly, there are - like the other commenter said, it's actually a pretty common gimmick. There's that saying "everything but the kitchen sink" so restaurants think it's cute to literally serve giant portions of something in a sink.
I'm not upset about it, I just found it funny and considering this sub is for posting items that are served on anything other than a plate, I thought I'd post it here. I actually think it's quite cool lol
Also I didn't order it, I just saw the photo posted somewhere else. I'm nowhere near that place, completely different country to me.
I don’t know why some chefs and restaurants owner think this is a good idea. They really have to stop that idea that people want an experience when it comes to food.
Yeah, I know but it's not an actual sink. I think it's really cool tbh. I'm not having a go or anything. I quite like it is all.
Did you have a big spoon to share it across several plates? Or was that it?
Yeah I think it's cool too, I just posted it because this sub is where you post anything that's not served on a normal plate, like this. I don't know, maybe it doesn't fit the exact description lol but it does look cool.
I can't answer that as I didn't order it, this is a screenshot from someone else's video. I found the screenshot on r/twennywunpilots so no idea if they had anything to serve it on but I'd hope so
It’s from the Colonial Cafe in Naperville, I had a bumper sticker from there 20+ years ago about eating everything but the kitchen sink. Don’t know if it’s still there.
Um, it's the theme.
It's a gimmick.
Calling a sundae the kitchen sink, is the joke. But hey, we can do more apt, more serious, more demonstrative name behind the gluttony associated with this.
But then it would be offensive. And unappealing.
Disney world does a small scale toy kitchen sink sundae, and you can take it home with you.
I don't know where it started, but this is a pretty common novelty concept here in the US.

I will say this particular example does seem to have a lot more piping than necessary underneath the basin ...!
I think it is based on the saying "everything and the kitchen sink"
I thought it was meant to be “everything *but* the kitchen sink”?
I've seen people use both but Google tells me yours is the original
I think "everything and the kitchen sink" is a parody on the original, to say that it's *even more*
I always thought the idea of this was they were SO big they even included the kitchen sink; because normally excess was described as "everything but the kitchen sink" and this is even more than that.
Right. This might be the only acceptable we want plates gimmick.
Everything but the kitchen sink is a common saying here to basically mean give me everything you have in your kitchen aside from the kitchen sink whereas this gives you the kitchen sink too
Interesting. I'd much rather a big bowl though!
Fair enough haha. There's this one specific Ice Cream shop in Disney World where they do this, and it's a whole "thing" where when you order it the whole restaurant goes dark and a siren goes off and there's a little interaction between the staff and all the customers. It's pretty funny, if not a bit silly. Good ice cream too!
Only costs $120!
😲lol what? That's ridiculous. Ppl buying that are have to be doing it for SM attention.
I don’t actually know the price lol. I’m just ballparking it from having gone to Disneyland so many times. I’m assuming Disneyworld is in the same price range or more expensive. r/unexpectedfactorial
The kitchen sink at Disney world serves four people and is only 38 dollars
That’s actually incredibly low lol
it's typically served to an entire family and then they portion it out into smaller dishes to eat individually. There's another place in Disney that has a much smaller (the kitchen sink at beaches and cream feeds 4-6 people), onez that's more of an individual serving, and it's just a stainless bowl made to look like a sink.
Beaches and Cream, in the Yacht & Beach Club resort behind Epcot. There's also a Minnie sink now that comes in a smaller plastic "souvenir" sink.
I was there when it happened once. It freaked me out a little bit because I was thinking we were gonna be emergency evacuated, until I realized what was happening.
I mean it is. It’s in a hotel tray (which is a food receptacle) it’s not an actual sink
>I mean it is >Tray Gimma a bowllll lmfao
It’s the container ice cream comes in. It’s just like eating it out of a pint.
Bowl. I crave the bowl. I have the munchies that only a nice ceramic bowl can satisfy.
It's a 1/3rd pan metal cambro, not a tray
Yes… If you’ll look at my other comment, I did mention it. It’s a third pan… a Third pan is an insert for a hotel tray. In any event, I was using simpler terms for the person who thought it was a sink
It's a hotel pan lol. Not a tray. Trays are flat and not a receptacle
[удалено]
To be fair that does sound pretty funny. If the ice cream is good I'd put up with the public shame haha
A big bowl is more common. Idk where dude is getting the sink thing as a common occurrence. It’s not common.
Maybe I'm extrapolating unreasonably. I know it's a decently famous Disney thing - which, considering how culturally dominant that particular institution is, I assume is copied around at other places.
And now that I'm reading other commenters and their experiences, I'm thinking I'm probably right. I've really never been right on the Internet before, so that's a good feeling.
Calm down. 3 people besides you in the comments have had something like this.
It looks like the ones you could get at Colonial Cafe in the Chicago suburbs. If you finish they used to give you a bumper sticker
I’ve lived in the US for my entire life and have never been anywhere that offers a sink full of ice cream.
It's popular in tourist destinations, including Walt Disney World.
Yes. I know that places that do this exist, but dude was acting like every restaurant ever does it.
Cool …there’s no sink in this picture.
True. It’s a metal steam table pan on a piece of pipe
It’s not a steam pan table it’s a 1/3 hotel pan. It’s literally what ice cream is stored in commercially
They’re the exact same thing, they literally look exactly the same but okay lol
They’re not the same thing though.
Okay, my dude
This is common?? Oh dear Lord.
It’s not a sink. It’s standard kitchen equipment called a third pan.
This is another case where the container is a little odd, but it's easy to sterilize. It's a stainless steel sink and you can just bleach the shit out of it. Better than trying to keep a salt block or three seashells clean
It’s not even a sink. It looks like a hotel pan
1/4 hotel pan, by my estimate
You know, you’re right. Originally, I thought third pan, but it may be a fourth pan.
What do you mean hotel pan? It’s a Steam Table Pan
After three days, Try google. But a hotel pan is the more generic name for a steam table pan as they are used for many more things than just steam trays….including, but not limited to storing ice cream.
It's not an actual sink. It's a very common container used in kitchens, they just attach it to the pipe to look like a sink. 1/3rd pan metal cambro is what they're called

You mean soap and water hasn't been enough to keep my three bathroom seashells clean? Well damnnit, and here I was thinking I was being all eco friendly!
Don't even need the shells if you wash your hands real good
Get this person in the world climate conference immediately!
I guess they threw everything they had at this 🤷
Let that sink in!
A very fauceted response
okay now youre just watering down the joke
That sink can come back with a warrant, thanks
ZIGGY PIGGY!! ZIGGY PIGGY!!
You ditched Napoleon!!??!?!?!
That's an s-trap and isn't acceptable in modern plumbing codes.
In the U.S. ? Why not? Cos I’m looking at a bag full of them in front of me as a type this ( Sydney )
Because s traps can get sucked dry easier than a p trap. They used to be common here but now I think p-traps are required pretty much everywhere with a trap arm length of at least 2x the pipe diameter (or something like that, I'm not a plumber).
Fair enough, the way our systems are vented would negate that also if you use an S&P trap in the p trap configuration the arm is automatically about 3 pipe diameters long before u even connect it to anything
I think I could finish everything except the kitchen sink
You mean you don't like chowing down on solid metal?
Is this Colonial's in Naperville, IL? When I was a kid this used to be a huge deal. Soccer team won? "Let's go to Colonials and get a kitchen sink!" which would mean 10 or so boys attacking that ice cream singularity with individual spoons. Anyway... good times.
It definitely looks like a Colonial’s. Their Aurora location closed and I think they only have two locations now(st Charles and Naperville). Definitely was part of my childhood as well.
It’s a diner called Angie’s in Logan, UT. Could recognize those tables anywhere
Yuuuup, never ordered one tho, my mom was too cheap 😹
I have no idea, I saw the photo posted somewhere else but it seems to be somewhere in America. It might be that place unless there's multiple restaurants serving ice cream in sinks across the country haha
Honestly, there are - like the other commenter said, it's actually a pretty common gimmick. There's that saying "everything but the kitchen sink" so restaurants think it's cute to literally serve giant portions of something in a sink.
Ah I've never heard of that saying surprisingly, it makes a whole lot more sense now. I thought they just put it into a sink for the sake of it.
Not without a massive brain, freeze and feeling sick to my stomach.
Still gonna do it. Props to the restaurant though, the sink itself looks proper cold which is a very nice touch.
I kinda respect committing to the bit that hard
I thought the phrase was everything *but* the kitchen sink
A sink is bad, but a BLOODY sink? That’s gotta be a health code violation. /s
I've got a giant spoon, sign me up!
Served this, I would be "finished" with this restaurant. So many things wrong ......
Ewwww. No. I don't want it in a bloody sink. Put it in a goddamn bowl.
I have
“O say can you see, by the dawn's early …
Yes but only if “my diet started tomorrow”
Our family of 5 could not.
Oh yes
Yeah, I could finish it- If you let me reserve the bathroom for a day
Issa chafing dish
*zoidberg voice* eat a kitchen sink? That sounds delicious. But can you remove that awful goop on top first? Woob woob woob woob 🦑
I definitely could
[удалено]
There really is a sub for everything. I wonder if any of them happen to also be in r/sinkpissers
At least, it’s no toilet. ☝️
Well yeah, if it’s bloody that’s downright disgusting. Otherwise I’ll take one on the patio please.
Jaxsons does it better 😎
jaxsons is the best!!!!!
It's actually not a sink, it's a 1/3rd pan metal cambro attached to a pipe to look like a sink. Still dumb as hell though.
I saw this in Jackson's in Miami, pretty good place, haven't been since I was a kid though
Ice cream parlor in my town has been doing this at least since the 70s
Guaranteed food coma.
Looks healthy! 😀👍🏼
The US of all people think this is difficult to finish
This is cute tho
That looks incredibly top-heavy
My rational mind says: ah fuck that sink My sloppy gut says: pls has the ice creem
Jacksons. It’s literally a menu item called the “Kitchen Sink” and you’re upset that when you ordered said item they brought out actual said item?
I'm not upset about it, I just found it funny and considering this sub is for posting items that are served on anything other than a plate, I thought I'd post it here. I actually think it's quite cool lol Also I didn't order it, I just saw the photo posted somewhere else. I'm nowhere near that place, completely different country to me.
Meh, a bowl is a bowl
I have heard this somewhere before
Please stop putting food in sinks. Period. Seriously.
They serve this at Colonial Cafe and they’re known for this!
Zero shoot
Whats that a white banana?
Everything but the banana and cherries. Can’t stand those things.
You ordered The Kitchen Sink and you now want your ice cream novelty on a plate? ice cream on a plate? you sure?
I did not order a kitchen sink, that is not my Instagram short video.
The town I grew up in - Logan, UT - had one of these at a restaurant called Angie’s. One of the bright spots of a terrible place.
I would like to point out that this sink is very much not bloody, that would be a health code violation.
where's the blood ? oh I get it you're from UK :P
I’m fine with this one.
I could eat the ice cream then shit in the bathroom floor
SF Creamery is famous for this dish.
Just to make you feel extra disgusting after you finish an unreasonably large mountain of sugar, you then get to stare at a dirty sink. Ouch.
That plumbing isn't to code.
I remember this in the 80s in Rochester NY.
the local place that does this requires a minimum amount of people in order to order it. i think you need 6.
Pretty sure I saw something like this on "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives". Or maybe it was "Man vs Food"?
It's a large deep hotel pan so no need to worry about soap or leftover bits of food, which would be the best part
Disgusting.
I actually like this idea, if you dont know, that's where we store most of your food before its served to you. Lmao.
I'm gonna need a plunger
Maybe High this is doable
I don’t know why some chefs and restaurants owner think this is a good idea. They really have to stop that idea that people want an experience when it comes to food.
Colonial Cafe post? niiiiiice
No this one is good because kitchen sink is a common name for loaded desserts and I LOVE that they took it literally
I couldn’t even start this
Yummmm I want it I'll rat 7 bites and be full lol
pretty good place, haven't been since I was a kid though
It's not a sink. It's an ice cream tub that hasn't been served yet. 🤷🏽♂️
On a pipe, to look like a sink, on a slab of wood, named "the kitchen sink" lol
Yeah, I know but it's not an actual sink. I think it's really cool tbh. I'm not having a go or anything. I quite like it is all. Did you have a big spoon to share it across several plates? Or was that it?
Yeah I think it's cool too, I just posted it because this sub is where you post anything that's not served on a normal plate, like this.

I found the screenshot on r/twennywunpilots so no idea if they had anything to serve it on but I'd hope so
I got you bro, It's a cool post. Well if we ever find out where, I'll go halves with you. 😃
It’s from the Colonial Cafe in Naperville, I had a bumper sticker from there 20+ years ago about eating everything but the kitchen sink. Don’t know if it’s still there.
Haha bet!
Meh, a bowl is a bowl

i would try but then i would have to read a pamphlet called ''diabetes and me.''
