When you're cooking 50+ recipes a week, there are bound to be a few mishaps. This year's, as trolls were quick to point out, tended to be strangely phallic. Or just plain disturbing. You've been warned.
The Time A Recipe Video Almost Got An 'X' Rating
Normally, when someone says a recipe's "pornographic," they mean it's so hot you can't stand it. Here, we were literally debating whether to blur out the action entirely. Instead, we put it on loop, so it can mortify you until the end of time.
Of course, if that gif's got you craving a Pickle Dog, who are we to hold you back? Get the recipe on Delish.
The Time We Tried To Make 'Drake On Pancakes' Happen
Like jeggings, 'fetch,' and a perfectly ombré matcha pink drink, some things simply aren't meant to be.

The Time Turboman Became Baymax
Arnold really bulked up at the gym. (And, sadly, our homage to Jingle All The Way didn't quite work out, but when that Big Hero 6 sequel comes out, we're ready for it.)
That Time We Tried To Bake Edible Cookie Dough
Crushed graham crackers are an excellent substitute for flour in edible cookie dough, but as actual cookies? Eh, not so much.
The Time Olivia Culpo Helped Us Clean Up Our Act
Miss Universe had no idea what she was getting herself into when she stopped by The Mash-Up. Turns out, neither did we, when heavy cream erupted, splattering editor Jo Saltz. Culpo came to her rescue, but Saltz's sweater was never the same.
