gross

Could you classify any of this as actual food? We can't, but apparently a lot of people did back in the day. If your Boomer parents ever try to tell you how much better life was back then, just hit 'em with an "OK Boomer" and show them this gallery of horrifying foods from the mid-twentieth century that will almost certainly make your stomach churn. Bring on the jello.

If you're a parentwho's been buying Capri Sun for their kids or a nostalgic millennial who picks up a pouch from time to time, you may want to switch to another sugary juice product. Why? Because TikTok user Victor Aguilar shared an alarming video of a Capri Sun pouch with some kind of mold in the bottom of it. And apparently, this isn't necessarily a rare occurrence. 

Aguliar filmed the viral video (which has over 5 million views) after opening a moldy Capri Sun from the same batch. If you're skeptical of the video's legitimacy, Aguilar shared a follow-up yesterday in which he clarifies that he stored the drinks properly, and that the expiration date is June 26, 2022. While some users think the mold is a testament to the drinks "realness," and lack of preservatives, we have to argue that mold does not equal good. And after seeing an entire section about mold on the Capri Sun "FAQ" page (and a whole lot of tweets), it becomes pretty clear that we should definitely be paying more attention to the little window on the bottom of the pouches. Or not buying the drinks at all. 

Gordon Ramsay's theatrics sometimes make him seem like a dick. But he really just wants the best for people. It's tough love, and a lot of it goes after sus food served by people on any of his shows. Our personal favorite, Kitchen Nightmares, is chock full of his special brand of foul-mouthed exasperation. Thanks to the horrors of the internet, we've just dug up some food pics that would make him go from zero to a hundred. Heinous cookies. Aspic abominations. And, of course, some culinary combinations that have no place anywhere but hell. 

Imagine you're on a first date. You're having a really wonderful time at the bar together. The flirting is effortless and the chemistry is on point. You agree to go back to their apartment but right as you're driving up, they give you a long list of warnings—something about the bathroom and 'crazy roommates.' You think 'uh-oh' but manage to shake off the feeling of reluctance. And then you walk into literal hell. The carpets are damp, the air smells of mold and cat pee, roaches scatter when the lights turn on and your date's 'bedroom' is actually just a sheet-less mattress in the middle of the living room. Your brain is screaming 'leave!' and yet...you stay.

It's incredible, the things people put up with just to get laid. @cloutcurator was curious about just what sort of nasty apartments her followers have ended up in and boy did they deliver. We're cringing just thinking about these experiences.

Ever look at at meme, tweet, or photograph and feel the urge to pour bleach in your eyes or invent a memory eraser to zap the poison from your brain? Yeah, us too. Turns out the internet is absolutely brimming with this kind of content. And while we can definitely call them disturbing or unsavory, the fact is that cursed images are, at the very least, far from boring. These memes and tweets are wonderful examples of content that makes you say "Thanks, I hate it." If they don't make you feel a little more alive, try sending them to your friends. It's always fun to pull people down with you. 

It's a pretty well-known fact that ignorance is bliss. These tidbits from an especially uncomfortable AskReddit thread are definitely proof of this theory. One masochistic user asked the community to share all the glorious factoids they wish they hadn't learned, and honestly - we feel the same way. Sometimes you really don't want to learn something every day.

We don't need to tell you that the internet is full of cringe. As hard as you might try to look away, the cringe will follow you. Embarrassing people who consistently flaunt their worst qualities online cannot be forced to log off, but at least we can point and laugh at their shameful posts. We've collected some very irksome pics and screenshots that exemplify our worst traits as a species. Let these mortifying internet moments be a lesson to anyone thinking about posting. 

Weddings, billed as arguably the most important day in a couples life, come with a lot of pressure. And where there's ample pressure, there are also ample opportunities for disaster. One curious Reddit user asked the AskReddit community to share their craziest wedding disasters, and the Redditors did NOT disappoint. Welcome to a whirlwind of drama, vomit, and, well, death.

If you're feeling bored right now, you're definitely not alone. Even dank memes and amusing tweets can lose meaning. That's why we like to pepper our internet browsing experience with painful cringe pics. Not only will they make you feel something (mostly discomfort or disgust) but they'll make you appreciate fluffy content more than you ever have before. 

Photoshopped product packages have been making the rounds on the meme scene for at least five years. The most popular instances of this phenomenon take the form of Hot Pockets and Pop Tarts packaging. Memers doctor the packages to boast appetizing flavors such as "dryer lint" and "filthy ashtray" - the latter of which is a bit too familiar to feel fake. While these culinary creations won't be winning any James Beard awards, they do succeed at both making us cringe and helping us lose our appetites. And at the risk of sounding normie - we still have a lot of quarantine weight to shed before we feel totally comfortable at the beach. We'll take all the help we can get. 

Living with roommates is no longer reserved for broke college students and recent grads. As of 2018, nearly a third of adults in the United States were living with people that aren't their partners or a dependent/university student. We can only imagine that number has grown - especially since the start of the pandemic. While it's unfortunate that so many people cannot afford to live alone, sometimes it's nice to have someone to come home to. But much of the time, the reality is far more bleak. 

Part of the roommate rite of passage is the harsh reality that many so-called adults have no idea how to treat or share a living space. This could mean that they neglect to wash the dishes. It could mean that they help themselves to food and beverages that don't belong to them. But time and time again we hear stories of laziness, entitlement and straight up griminess that turn the notion of having roommates into less of a money-saving move than a horror show. These terrible tales and photos reflect that unfortunate reality to a tee, and remind us that loneliness or living in a crappy studio in the "bad" part of town definitely beats having scummy roommates.

Browsing through memes is a perfectly delightful pastime. But after a while, the memes start to blur together. It's very similar to the way time has begun to feel since early 2020. To break free from the monotony of cat memes or lowest common denominator relatable memes, we've put together this collection of decidedly cringey and uncomfortable memes, tweets, and posts. They might not be pleasant, but they're definitely entertaining. And sometimes that's all we need.

The past 24 hours have been rife with mention of another heinous "food hack." We revealed our contempt for the engagement-baiting, and Eater even published their own expose. But Twitter's still talking about the Prego bullshit, and frankly we are a bit sick of it. There's a whole world of horrible food pics and videos to be enjoyed. Why don't they get the same amount of love? Is it because they're cursed? Is it because there's a chance that the cringe might actually be real instead of fabricated? Maybe it's both. Either way, these food crimes are certainly more worthy of shock and horror than the gleefully dumb foodhacks that we're seeing on TikTok. 

The internet is full of overzealous posters who have absolutely no filter when it comes to sharing crude details about their personal lives with the world wide web. And when it comes to sex, many embellish the truth or obviously lie about their sex lives to seem badass to total strangers who couldn't care less. Many examples of these instances of unwarranted oversharing are well documented over at r/ihavesex. We've gathered some prime, wince-worthy screenshots from the subreddit if you're in the mood to cringe.

There are very few guaranteed pleasures in life, but one of them has definitely got to be food. It's one of the only survival necessities that humans have managed to really make an event. When I'm weary from work, I know that if I at least eat something tasty, my mood will improve. While some of these memes may have this delicious effect, there are a whole lot that are cursed and will leave you puzzled, grossed out, and possibly without an appetite. But they're definitely not boring.
