When you typically eat three meals a day, there are plenty of opportunities to get it wrong. Either you followed a recipe incorrectly, accidentally sugared your morning eggs at the diner, or perhaps you got more of that spaghetti on your shirt than in your mouth. When you’re in the public eye, you can imagine how much worse those incidents can be.
Awkward food moments are present in pop culture, as well. So many shows from the 1990s and 2000s weren’t afraid to get laughs based on uncomfortable situations around mealtime. Most of the time, they made us laugh because they’re so relatable.
It may be terrible if they happen to you, but awkward food moments help bond people together. They can liven any gathering, and help color an otherwise dull memory (since hey, knocking down a full coffee carafe at Perkins will make you remember that hangout. Yes, that happened to me.) They’re also a good reminder that we’re all human. All of us will make mistakes, and sometimes the best thing to do is grit your teeth and move on.
A trifle, by design, usually includes sponge cake, fruit, and a yummy custard filling. But Rachel, being not so great in the kitchen, created hers with beef sautéed with peas and onions. All of it was topped with whipped cream. At the very least, she made the custard from scratch — and you have to applaud her for that.
Rapper Lil Xan was 22 when the Cheetos incident happened. It’s funny, but also a reminder that these things can be killer on your body. “I went to the hospital today,” he wrote on Instagram, per Men’s Health. “I just want to let everyone know I was in the hospital not due to any drugs, but I guess I ate too many Hot Cheetos, and it ripped something in my stomach open.” Yikes.
His signature dish was something of a mess, making fans unable to think about pancakes the same way again. Remember, this is a legit food competition show, and your signature dish should be what you make best.
On the topic of Gordon Ramsay shows, let’s talk about Kitchen Nightmares.
But if you don’t like the food, don’t expect a refund. Expect an insult, and a ban from the restaurant. It’s no surprise that they’re no longer in business.
she made a mistake but that doesn't make her a bad person i still support her and always will#WeForgiveYouAriana

It all happened back in 2015, at a donut shop located in Lake Elsinore, California. The singer put out an apology video, which has since been deleted. But according to CNN, she stated that “Seeing a video of yourself behaving poorly, that you have no idea was taken, is such a rude awakening, that you don’t know what to do,” adding, “I was so disgusted with myself.”
But unfortunately, Ashlee Simpson once entered a McDonald’s and made a scene due to a night of drinking. The incident happened in Toronto, and included Simpson actually going behind the counter to yell at a manager.
There’s something really admirable about Shailene Woodley. She’s an activist who genuinely cares about the environment. She also eats clay that she orders online, sourced from Colorado. She also told Letterman that pregnant women often eat clay, since it’s good for their bodies. Surely pregnant women everywhere will just take her word for it.
30 Rock wasn’t afraid to push the limits, but Liz’s relationship with food was serious. Not only did she shotgun a pizza before, but in the 4th season episode titled “Verna,” she ordered and ate an entire pie in her sleep, along with a couple of cigarettes. It’s almost laughably awkward, since that’s something that anyone with insomnia and a craving for cheese might do (maybe not the cigarette part).
Certain fans of Rick & Morty are super passionate about the show.
First available in select locations, fans literally made fools of themselves to get their hands on the limited supply. Out of all the awkward food moments so far, this one proved that Rick & Morty has a lot of influence on the world today.
It made for a memorable episode and a pretty successful line of soups that non-New Yorkers could buy in stores, but you could almost feel the tension between George and The Soup Nazi in this seventh season Seinfeld episode.

Guests were promised excellent eats, which made the cheese sandwich they ended up with even sadder. Is that a side salad, or the insides of the sandwich? Who knows, but either choice is upsetting when you think about how much money tickets were.
Kendall Jenner had an unforgiving year in 2017 — remember, she was one of the many influencers openly supporting the Fyre Festival and their sad cheese sandwiches.
Pepsi released a commercial where, in their eyes, a soft drink could solve a violent protest. It’s easy to see what they were trying to accomplish, but it still came off pretty badly.
Listen, weird food combinations are great. They show you’re innovative and happen to tell a story. That said, nobody can get behind Adrienne Bailon’s fruit punch and tuna fish combo. She literally dips her sandwich in the glass, changing its color entirely.
Cynthia Nixon is a strong woman who can order anything she wants. But she still made headlines with an awkward food moment of her own not that long ago.
Which, okay. But then she topped it with lox, capers, red onions, tomato, and cream cheese.
If you ask fans of The Office what one of their favorite awkward food moments is, it’s probably when Kevin brings in his famous chili. While proudly giving the instructions on how to make it, he ends up spilling the entire pot right on the floor. It’s a moment that’ll make anyone cringe, since it’s literally the worst food fail of all.

Listen, I don’t know if Justin Bieber even eats burritos. But I do know the world was absolutely fooled when this fake image came into play. Just looking at it will make you feel weird inside. That’s not how it’s done, fake Justin!
Ireland ice cream shop creates @HeinzKetchup_US flavored ice cream for Ed Sheeran. Please note the Heinz Ketchup tattoo on said singer's left bicep. There's a lot going on in these photos, please take a moment to process it all. pic.twitter.com/U4Ib5z0r5U

Sheeran has made his love of ketchup pretty obvious, with sources saying he carries an emergency bottle at all times.
Not my first choice, but good for him. Heinz also made a ketchup-flavor ice cream thanks to the singer’s appreciation, which adds to the absurdity.
