15. Spinach, Artichoke & Melted Plastic Dip

This Kraken-inspired pie is totally cool – if only the actual attempt looked even half as good. “A” for effort?

22. Young, Broke and Food-Poisoned

We know college can be rough, but we’re not sure if this is a cooking hack or a sure-fire way to get salmonella. Points for creativity, but next time, please just spend the extra buck on some clean skewers.

23. A Watched Pot Never Boils (but at least your pasta would be safe)

This is what happens when you don’t stir your pasta and let it stick to the bottom of the pot. A pretty impressive feat,, considering it looks like it basically happened to the whole box of pasta.

30. Artistic Rendering

This is definitely an expression of artistic freedom, and you’ve got to love the crazed, beady stare. It’s hard to say if this recreation did accidentally end up being better than the original.

31. Deliberate or Just Dumb?

When this man told his girlfriend to peel half of their potatoes, she took him quite literally. We’re not sure if this is the greatest passive aggressive move, or just plain stupid.

33. Losing Your Appetite

36. What is That?

According to the original poster, this is what happens when you add green food coloring to your guacamole to offset some of its natural yellow color. I think I’ll stick with a little yellow guac, rather than this monstrosity.

37. Boo!

This little banana ghost is too cute. It’s only too bad that this attempt turned into a hot mess. It’s spooky all right, just not exactly on purpose.
