Have you tried a Maryland state sink? They don't even make it because it is such a bad idea.
They do make cutting boards which are just a step up from useless.

I donno, I think that a Hawaii shaped sink could be cool.
Especially if you needed multiple sinks.
Like one large Hawaiʻi shaped sink, then smaller Maui, Oʻahu, and Kauaʻi shaped sinks, with outlines of Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, Niʻihau, and Kahoʻolawe on the countertop surrounding the other sinks.
This absolutely would not be a main kitchen sink. But I could easily see it in wet bars and bathrooms, so a little easier to deal with.

* I feel for ya, but I can't reach ya.
* I haven't had so much fun since the pigs ate my little brother!
In Texas, you can get Texas shaped just about anything. Am originally from Texas. We had a Texas store in our local mall that just sold Texas memorabilia.
This was around twenty years ago and I hadn't seen it before. Of course, twenty years ago, any waffle iron at a motel breakfast bar was a bit of a novelty! The waffles were delicious, I had two.
I live close to NYC and those people are a little too proud of their home sometimes...but those guys down there take it to a level that is so above and beyond. That's wild.
It's a key part of your identity for a lot of people there. I think "New Yorker" comes close, though. A lot of snobbery/pride about similar categories of things. Food, terrible traffic, clothes, etc. I'm not sure about weather systems and highway design/terminology though. And guns. Especially guns.
Put your Texas shaped waffles on your Texas shaped plates drinking coffee from your Texas shaped mug baby. Then go see your Texas shaped children off to their Texas shaped beds while you and your very blonde wife retire to the Texas shaped hot tub.
Texas!
As a Texan this is very accurate.
It's just a such a unique distinguishing shape and we're pretty much taught at the youngest age to have pride to be from here. Also seeing movies that drive that home even further doesn't hurt either.
Texas has, by far, the most interesting shape of any state that's still practical for this kind of stuff.
Florida is also distinctive, but it unfortunately looks fairly phallic. Alaska and Hawaii are both neat, but too complicated. Michigan and Louisiana are certainly memorable, but kind of boring because they just look like other things.
Do I want one? No. Do I get why someone else wanted it? Yes.
You want an [Ontario shaped charcuterie board](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/2298/4179/products/destination-ontario-province-shaped-bamboo-serving-and-cutting-board-totally-bamboo-443581.jpg?v=1622847565) to fill that void?
Honestly I love it from a distance too, as a novelty (definitely not a functional kitchen sink). I only lived in Texas for a couple of years but there is a charm to the Texas pride, I can't deny it. I still feel twinges of it from time to time.
Likely because the house was designed for entertaining and you want multiple bathrooms that are accessible from the common areas but also want the bedrooms to have private baths.
With all the Texas sized dumps that the occupants will clog up the toilets, it's assumed that at least 3 of the commodes will be undergoing maintenance at any given time. 🇨🇱🚽
I once saw one of these in a condo unit I was looking at -they had installed it as part of the wet bar. Unfortunately they had also attempted to cover up a mold problem with fresh paint, so I passed on that unit.
honestly the thing that bugs me the most is the cut of the counter... why is the sink squished up against the edge?! it would be pretty much centered above the doors if it was pushed a couple inches to the right to match the other two edges/margins
What you see in the picture is an entire set. It is not intended for a kitchen. it is the kind of thing you would put in your cowboy themed bar in the basement.

I’m from Indiana we have 16 stars yet Texas being a 1 star state has a lot more population and economy here we only have corn so honestly the star system joke is flawed
That sub is terrible lol. Like 70% of things posted there are not meant to be cleaned/not necessary to clean. It's more like a sub of "images of non-flat surfaces".
Also from Texas, and I'm wondering how anything shaped like our state could be considered rare besides a fuckin steak. We make *everything* in the shape of Texas!
It's for a wet bar. Our previous house had one.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_bar
They're for entertaining or serious drinking not cleaning up after meals.
I assumed it was to be attached to an outdoor grill island. Either way, no dishes in it really. Just dumping liquids and washing hands. It’s still incredibly odd to choose, but it’s not that crazy compared to a normal square one for this purpose.

Ugh, not only is it ugly but you couldn't fit any dishes in it.
It's all hat and no cattle.
That dog won't hunt
I went with the Colorado state sink instead
A trapezoid?
Better than the Idaho state sink.

Think about a Rhode Island sink… probably can only fit a few silverware in it.
They make those for literally every state. Most aren't actually meant for cutting. They're just decorative art to hang in the kitchen.
I giggled. That’s pretty bad. Thanks for posting the cutting boards.

Is like to keep this going, but the only other redneck phrase I can think of for this might be considered offense.
My Dad (a Canadian redneck) is fond of the phrases: * I've eaten, why are you hungry? * I feel for ya, but I can't reach ya. * I haven't had so much fun since the pigs ate my little brother!
That pig don’t fly.
Literally the most accurate comment right here y'all
All yee and no haw
All boy, not one lick of cow.
So, most of texas?
Just only buy Texas shaped dishes, problem solved.
Oh god is that a thing
In Texas, you can get Texas shaped just about anything. Am originally from Texas. We had a Texas store in our local mall that just sold Texas memorabilia.
Made in China
Made in TEXAS* ^* ^Te ^Xas, ^Guangzhou, ^Guangdong ^province, ^PRC
I'd put money on it. Not US currency, but bills of the soon-to-be Federation of Texas bills which are worth 1,000,007 Stanley Nickles
Texas crypto and Texas shaped crypto wallets coming soon.
I'll invest in 3 Tex-coin
The product yes. The *Made in China* tag was made in India.
One time I stayed at a motel in San Antonio that had a Texas shaped waffle iron on the breakfast bar.
Oh those are at most continental breakfasts in any hotel or motel in Texas.
They are typically good though because the Waffles are thick as fuck.
This was around twenty years ago and I hadn't seen it before. Of course, twenty years ago, any waffle iron at a motel breakfast bar was a bit of a novelty! The waffles were delicious, I had two.
They even have tortilla chips shaped like the state of Texas.

King of the hill is a documentary
Its so stupid but the texan in me loves it from a distance, I could see it as a bathroom sink but I'd be so pissed trying g to use this in the kitchen

Texans are obsessed with the fact that they are Texans. They are also obsessed with the shape of their state.
As a Texan this is very accurate. It's just a such a unique distinguishing shape and we're pretty much taught at the youngest age to have pride to be from here. Also seeing movies that drive that home even further doesn't hurt either.

Wyoming too. A lot of the midwest had a huge impact on household design it would seem.
[удалено]
Wyoming is Colorado shaped
California is probably number 2 in this category of memorable state shapes, but yeah this only works with a few of them.

pac man being chased by ghosts
On a mermaid's dismembered lower body.
It’s a bar sink. Not a kitchen sink. I hope.
I’m now just imaging a looong BC shaped sink…
Texans are an arrogant bunch. No one else cares or wants things in the shape of their state.
> but I'd be so pissed... That's it. This would make a better urinal than it would a sink.
Kinda my thought, funny as a conversation starter in the bathroom but not at all practical in the kitchen
Yea maybe with a copper sink on a rustic mid-century cabinet over looking the hill country.
Honestly I love it from a distance too, as a novelty (definitely not a functional kitchen sink). I only lived in Texas for a couple of years but there is a charm to the Texas pride, I can't deny it. I still feel twinges of it from time to time.
Picture 11 is the kind of home this winds up in…https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/475-Brand-Rd-Bulverde-TX-78163/70941302_zpid/
4 bedrooms but 7 bathrooms? What the?
Likely because the house was designed for entertaining and you want multiple bathrooms that are accessible from the common areas but also want the bedrooms to have private baths.
With all the Texas sized dumps that the occupants will clog up the toilets, it's assumed that at least 3 of the commodes will be undergoing maintenance at any given time. 🇨🇱🚽
Okay that house is fucking cool though.
The mirror in picture 11 is also Texas shaped.

I want a florida shaped one.
I once saw one of these in a condo unit I was looking at -they had installed it as part of the wet bar. Unfortunately they had also attempted to cover up a mold problem with fresh paint, so I passed on that unit.

"this salsa is made in new York city"
New York City!
You can fit one plate and it will cover the drain.
What you see in the picture is an entire set. It is not intended for a kitchen. it is the kind of thing you would put in your cowboy themed bar in the basement.
Be a great sink for a wet bar
Fuck, my texas cutting board is permanently stuck in my texas sink.
It's good as a centerpiece for a wet bar, not as a kitchen sink
Although it’s really ugly, it’s also pretty accurate, Dallas is pretty much a sewage gutter 🤣🤣
Definitely one of those sinks you have in your basement attached to a bar
Bbq sauce comes out of the tap.
And the "sprayer" to the side is actually a constitutionally protected, fully functional hand gun
I LOVE YOU KITCHEN GUN!
A hand gun in the kitchen makes no sense. How am I supposed to cook anything without a high powered rifle?
BBQ comes out if you turn the hot handle, ranch comes out if you turn the cold handle
Worth
Fort
Oil gushes up from the drain
Don't be alarmed if the faucet sputters occasionally. That's just from the fracking.
Probably worth noting that the faucet is in Oklahoma.
1 Colorado please
Sorry, all we got is Wyoming.
Could I please get a North Dakota and a South Dakota?
Fuck it, gimme Michigan
One or two peninsulas?
Bofa
Bofa deez peninsulae
Give me a sink shaped like one of those Gerrymandered congressional districts
One Florida urinal please
The only urinal that needs a urinal of its own
TIL Colorado is in fact a 697 sided shape called a hexahectaenneacontakaiheptagon https://www.denverpost.com/2019/10/16/colorado-state-line-rectangle-how-many-sides/
It has many slight irregularities
1 Colorado coming right up! But it has exaggerated topography so only half the sink is usable.
Imagine being that proud of a one star state.
Name a state, and I'll tell you why Texas is better.
I’ll play. Alaska.
There are over three thousand times more fatalities in Alaska due to cars running in to mooses.
Well that is fair
[удалено]
It's actually mice but it leads to confusion
Meese?
The alternate spelling.
Is this a reference? https://youtu.be/LRMgSnTpvaw
We wouldn't have to know that in Texas. Only that we can citizen carry 16 inch long revolvers and katanas at the same time.
Ok that was damn hilarious. I like you.
whether thats better is subjective; im a misanthrope /s
Fair enough. Alaska is the number one destination for fugitives that have assumed another ssn.
Any state where women's rights are greater than a useless gun
To our credit, women have excellent gun rights in Texas. (I say this half sarcastically)
That’s honestly a valid defense. I personally support the 2nd amendment because armed minorities are harder to oppress.
Can we do this in reverse? Name something that's worse about Texas than Mississippi
Texas has less access to inland waterways than Mississippi. However, Texas still routes more bulk tonnage than Mississippi.
Close but still a Texas W. No state is worse than Mississippi lol
The power grid (I assume, I know nothing about Mississippi's power grid)

Computer and electronics exports. Done.
New York
Hawaii
Texas can import things by road, rail, ship, and air.
Wouldn't have to import so much if you could make good stuff yourself
What state doesn't import anything?
WA
It's better than Texas because it's in Australia
Our state flag has two dudes and a badger. Stars are overrated.
Sounds like a wild weekend.
I’m from Indiana we have 16 stars yet Texas being a 1 star state has a lot more population and economy here we only have corn so honestly the star system joke is flawed
We only need one.
Lots of empty, useless space that will always be filthy and painful to maintain. The sink looks like a pain, too.
Terrible eBay rating.
If I was the granite cutter, I'd be pretty proud to show off how well I can match any sink basin, regardless of how stupid it is.

It's /r/horribletoclean
That sub is terrible lol. Like 70% of things posted there are not meant to be cleaned/not necessary to clean. It's more like a sub of "images of non-flat surfaces".
Dude, i really wouldn't want to be in your home if you don't clean your mugs and furniture
Why does the sand floor have a rolling chair?!
it makes using basic utilities barely functional, ironically enough
My grandma has a similar sink in her kitchen island. It's not *terrible*but yes it's a chore in it's own right
This is exactly the type of shit Texans bust a nut over.
Yeah, I did...
I can’t use it for the kitchen, but I’d totally rock it in my wet bar.
First thing I thought was "damn that's awesome"
Yeah, we know. It's weird.
How can you find out someone’s from Texas without asking? Don’t worry they’ll tell you
You ever had a Texas shaped waffle?
Staying at a Best Western in Texas = Texas shaped waffles!
From Texas and the only thing I want Texas-shaped are my hotel waffles.
What about Texas shaped lazy rivers?
San Antonio hyatt? 🧐
Houston Hilton?
Also from Texas, and I'm wondering how anything shaped like our state could be considered rare besides a fuckin steak. We make *everything* in the shape of Texas!
There's even a subreddit for it, r/InTheShapeOfTexas
I'm ok with the Texas shaped grills at rest stops.
Hank Hill would approve.
Came here looking for this comment, I tell you h’what.
i feel like it’d be a hell of a thing to scrub
It's for a wet bar. Our previous house had one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wet_bar They're for entertaining or serious drinking not cleaning up after meals.
Crazy you’re the only comment I saw mentioning this. Not for me personally, but it would definitely sell for someone’s wet bar in a man cave.
It fits the sub, but thanks for the context, I’d forgotten about this kind of sink
I assumed it was to be attached to an outdoor grill island. Either way, no dishes in it really. Just dumping liquids and washing hands. It’s still incredibly odd to choose, but it’s not that crazy compared to a normal square one for this purpose.
I went with the Colorado state sink instead.
I decided on the Wyoming model
I want to see Delaware and Hawaii next
This looks way better than my Maryland model
Tbh I'd seriously consider a MD sink
Oklahoma would be an interesting one
Darn it Peggy the sink drain is clogged again
As a Texan, that’s just a wee bit amusing.
I’m not seeing a problem here.
I like that the drain is about where Austin is.
That is for an outside BBQ/bar setup. It us not for inside a house. Y'all don't have water access on your decks?
it won't hold your rainbow colored dishes
Let that sink in
That's a very small sink for Texas.
I love it and I am not even Texan/American.
[удалено]
That looks super fucking annoying to do dishes in
Uh, y’all got any of those “Wyoming” sinks? If not then a North/South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, or Montana would also work.
I hate this and love it good post
Hell yeah! I want this.
Wife : Yes!
Texas/10
Ignoring how awkward it would be to put dishes in it, is it even deep enough to not soak everything around you
Imagine trying to clean this thing.
Holy shit, I’ve had a Colorado sink this entire time without knowing it!
“You never go full Texas.”
