This Is Why I Don’t Do Potlucks (30 Cooking Fails)

Potlucks can be pretty fun, right? But let’s be real, sometimes they’re just a recipe for disaster. I mean, you’ve got a bunch of people all bringing different dishes, and there’s always someone who screws something up. Burnt lasagna, raw chicken, food poisoning…you name it, it’s probably happened at a potluck.

That’s why some of us just steer clear of them altogether. Like, who needs the stress of wondering if your dish is gonna be a hit or a total flop? Nobody wants to be responsible for ruining the party with their cooking fail.

That being said if you show up to a potluck to find any of these 30 cooks you may want just to order a pizza instead.
