1. Just give up.



Estimated Cost: massive tidy-up
What transpired: A dish of sauce fell.
Social media users shared this image, which quickly gained popularity due to its relatability. Many of us have experienced baking or cooking disasters, and eventually, all you want to do is give up and sit down.

Ordering takeout and hanging up the towel are perfectly acceptable. This woman spilled her sauce dish all over the floor, and her fluffy white cat is the only one who seems to be enjoying himself in this scenario.

2. Mixer vs. Granny



Estimated price for a new mixer: $100–$500*
What transpired was that a mixer broke down.
In this picture, Grandma was having a little trouble with her stand mixer. The stand mixer was not so much mixing as it was creating a massive mess, and it was blowing flour everywhere instead of collaborating.

Don't be hesitant to spend a little extra on stand mixers. The KitchenAid Artisan Series, rated "Best Overall" by Homes & Gardens, is a great choice every time. Additionally, the publication in 2023 gave Cuisinart Precision Mix positive evaluations.

3. An attempt was made.



Estimated Price: $20–$25*
What transpired was a poor attempt to imitate a book cover.
One of the best-known pieces of American literature ever written, The Great Gatsby, was written in 1925 and portrays what life was like on Long Island in the 1920s—that is, if you were really wealthy. This person attempted to create a replica because they were so enamored with the book.

Sadly, things didn't work out. The big mistake was in the face, which appears more like a character from a WBD cartoon than a brilliant piece of traditional American literature. Oh well, it tastes great; we're sure of it.
