DisneyFanatic.com The Latest News, Advice, and Perspective from Disney Fans for Disney Fans!
One of the things that Disney loves to do is celebrate all different kinds of events throughout the year. If there is a holiday or special event happening, Disney is probably going to celebrate it. And we are talking about so much more than just things like Halloween, Christmas, and Hanukkah. Disney also celebrates National Hispanic Heritage Month, Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, Gay Days, St. Patrick’s Day, and so much more. This is typically done with brand-new, limited-time food offerings, or maybe even some specialty merchandise.

But one current offering has fans doing a double take.
As you may or may not know, March is Women’s History Month. Disney wanted to acknowledge this by offering a special snack that is only available in March. Unfortunately, it doesn’t look like the snack was very well thought out. And some people are finding it downright offensive and misogynistic.
TikToker Dr. Grunch (@ladyspinedoc) recently visited Disney’s Hollywood Studios with her family. While there, they decided to head to Hollywood Scoops and get some delicious ice cream. It was there that Dr. Grunch found something that truly shocked her.
As part of Disney’s Women’s History Month celebration, guests could purchase a specialty sundae. Minnie’s KITCHEN SINK sundae.
@ladyspinedoc Let me explain something @Disney – do better. #womenshistorymonth
Yes. Disney was celebrating and honoring women’s history with a kitchen sink dessert.
Many commenters were shocked that this went through so many approval stages, and no one thought that it might not be the best idea to have a dessert that implied women should be in the kitchen.
I absolutely understand that the kitchen sink is an iconic sundae for Disney but let’s just think for 5 seconds about if we should be specifically highlighting it for WOMEN’S HISTORY MONTH 😭

It is important to note that the Kitchen Sink is an iconic sweet treat at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World Resort.
At Disneyland Resort, guests can head into Disney California Adventure Park and visit Clarabelle’s Hand-Scooped Ice Cream. There, any sundae can be put into a plastic kitchen sink that is designed to look like Mickey Mouse.

At Walt Disney World, guests can make their way over to the BoardWalk and dine at Beaches and Cream. There, the Kitchen Sink is big enough to feed up to four people! It consists of scoops of vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, Cookies n’ Cream, and mint chip ice cream. That is then topped with hot fudge, peanut butter, Snickers pieces, and a fresh-baked brownie. To make it even more decadent, the sundae is then topped with every other additional topping they have!

This specialty version of the Minnie Kitchen Sink Sundae included a scoop of ice cream (guest’s choice), hot fudge, and red vanilla whipped cream. Then, it is decorated with white polka dot sprinkles, chocolate ears, and a chocolate bow. A similar dessert has been made in the past to celebrate National Polka Dot Day.
While we are sure that Disney meant no harm in creating this delicious-sounding sundae, there was definitely an issue with the final thought process.
Do you think Disney dropped the ball with this specialty sundae? Let us know in the comments!

Regarding the article about the Minnie sink sundae
Are they blind? It’s a sink with Mickeys pants
Regardless THEY need to get a life and enjoy Disney
The next thing they will say using chocolate ice cream is racism because it’s brown/black
Good grief people…get a grip. It’s as if people walk around in life every day hunting things to be offended by, well your ver existence offends me. Try going about your day looking for the positive side like…oh! Ice cream!
You have GOT TO BE KIDDING!!!! Get a grip people a cute ice cream kitchen sink for women’s history month OFFENSIVE
You being a “Dr “ how much more prejudiced can a person get???? No one forced you to buy it there are pictures posted you could have just ordered a sundae or ice cream cone
What is wrong with you people life is too dam short for you to be so sinical and prudent or judge mental??? If you are going to act like a spoiled brat then do us a FAVOR and stay home
Oh my goodness! No they did NOT drop the ball. It is a super cute Sundae. Everyone needs to stop being so sensitive.
It’s Minnie Mouse – she is a woman! Stop looking for things to be offensive. Stop being so negative. Enjoy the ice cream and the souvenir of the Minnie’s Kitchen Sink or don’t get one if it offends you. They offer a Mickey’s kitchen sink too. We lost Splash Mountain because the original story was deemed offensive by people. Get a life.
You can’t say anything lately, give it a rest people, it’s a container to hold ice cream, don’t buy it or even look at it if you’re offended
you have got to be kidding me I have one of mickey and one of Mimmie sinks the Ice cream was very good and it did not offend me at all after the Ice cream was gone, I took it home and it is on my kitchen counter holding my tea bags. People really need to get a life it is so sad that there are so many people who get offended by everything now adays.
I personally think this is a ridiculous attempt at being PC. It’s a cute sundae, not a statement saying women belong in the kitchen. Not offensive at all!
Hmmm go to Disneyland and instead of just enjoying the park with your kids, you find something to be offended by.🤔 Here is a novel idea… Don’t buy one. Just another person trying to stir the pot. There’s an idea.. serve her ice cream to her in a cauldron so she can continue to stir the pot. 😀
What is the matter with people today? It’s like they wake up in the morning and say let’s see what I can be offended by today…seriously!!! No wonder this country is in a shamble!!! Get a grip, get a life, do something other than create havoc over nothing!!!!
I am a woman and not offended by this.. I think it is cute. Some people need to learn to enjoy life and ignore things that are offensive to them. If it bothers them, they should not buy it.
how much are they i want 1 or 2?
I’m horrified by this person.
I am a woman, I use a kitchen sink and so does my husband and our children and our grandchildren.
And we would all love a Minnie Kitchen Sink Sundae, so cute and cheerful!!
So ridiculous to call it horrifying. As a woman I see no problem with it, plus the ice cream is yummy
Fans/people (plural) horrified?
No, just one who is trying to be one of those “influencers” that makes their opinion into a controversial one.
Stop looking for something where there is nothing and look at the positives. You know, like Disney is acknowledging all the hard work that many women endure on a daily basis!
Did this “dr” say this to just get attention or what?? Total nonsense . Im offended by her being offended. Lets all put on our Minnie Mickey ears and have ice cream in a kitchen sink!!
Omg!!! Get a grip and a life!! There are plenty of things in life that you might take offense about but this certainly isn’t one of them!!!! When did our society become so petty and ridiculous.
In the kitchen and out of the bedroom. Keeping men on their toes. Celebrate with your Minnie Kitchen sink. Men would not eat without us cooking. Let us celebrate that Minnie kitchen! We can mess it us and leave it for our man to clean up! 😎
Everyone needs to get a life! It is nutty to be offended by a delicious sundae. Wish I could dig into Minnie’s Kitchen Sink right now. As a woman who was involved in the Wms Lib Movement in the 1970s, I am not offended at all. I use my kitchen sink every day. What the heck is wrong with people?
People really this is getting ridiculous don’t go to Disney and don’t eat the ice cream simple I promise you are not going to make them broke
Unfortunately people are way too high strung and up tight these days. Mainly because now days the idealologys are so blown out of proportion and taken to extremes by the government and the media that the craziness of some of them are being accepted and spread through out the nation like a virus. Everything will eventually be destroyed and the US as we know it will cease to exist. Hopefully I’m dead by then. I’m just glad my parents and grandparents don’t have to be here to witness today’s world bevause they went to a better place before all hell broke loose.
If you are offended by this sundae at Disney then you are what is wrong with the world today!! It is an adorable ice cream treat meant to be shared with family and friends!! Disney did not drop the ball on this!! It is so cute!!
Get over it! Have you ever heard the saying “Everything but the kitchen sink”? That’s what I thought of when I first heard the name
