ABC News Breaks Ground: 6 PM Confirmed as Dinner Time – Nation Shocked, Early Birds Vindicated

In hard hitting journalism, ABC News is reporting the 'new' time people are eating dinner.

A growing trend at restaurants — people eating earlier. A study found that the 6:00 p.m. hour is now the most popular time for dinner reservations.

Shocking! Who knew people at dinner at 6:00 pm? Literally everyone.

Tell an Argentine you eat dinner at 6 pm and they’ll act like you murdered someone. https://t.co/ll4aRKTtg5

Well, Argentina isn't America so that explains why Americans see things differently.

Hell yeah https://t.co/Kf2bUae9ND

I’ve always aimed to eat dinner ~6-6:30, eating later than that seems insane to me. I know people who eat dinner at 8:00 or even 9:00 and consider I them to be basically barbarians https://t.co/CFDGaPIpOU

Most normal adults don't find it strange at all.

That’s just the practice of “First Dinner” becoming more popular. You still have Second Dinner, Dessert, and then the Night Cap which follow. Peter Jackson put this idea in LotR because he’s a big fat guy and partakes in this formulation. https://t.co/7SIsZqaGDY

This is also an acceptable strategy. Don't forget the sweet treat.

Not to sane people.

We wanna be in bed by 8pm please https://t.co/u8xQfORtuj

If you all begin to encroach on my 4:45PM spot, I’m going to be very upset. https://t.co/HGVG7K85Xt

Don't mess with the Early Bird diners.

One of the most unrealistic things in tv shows and movies is when the characters discuss meeting for dinner after 8 pm. Is that a big city thing? https://t.co/FVxSVwjkTQ

Must be.

Dinner at 6, drinks at 8, home by 10. The best! https://t.co/8qenBYFD0y

Even better is dinner at 6 and drinks at home. That's perfect.

People are just catching on that eating after 8 PM is terrible for you https://t.co/45X1TJpVlJ

6 is early? https://t.co/jk4iiOjQ5p

No, it's perfect. The naysayers are wrong.
