Sometimes something so simple can go so wrong. This Epic Pinterest Fail that we spotted on the interwebs is a perfect example.
The pinner most likely was trying to re-create this concoction of a patriotic “mocktail” for the kiddos, which involves layering the following ingredients in a glass:
- 3 ounces fruit punch
- 3 ounces blue Gatorade (not sugar-free)
- 3 ounces diet 7-Up or Sprite (must be sugar-free; so diet only)
- ice
Unfortunately, this pinner should have just stuck to the fruit punch, since that’s what it ended up looking like anyways:
We bet the pinner was somewhat ambivalent about this attempt – something a la Michael Scott:
Have a terrible pin to share? Send it our way!



Totally made this same drink this summer while bartending. called it a benjamin franklin. made w/ grenadine, blue hawain punch, and vodka. people loved it. not sure why it didn’t work out above, but you had to add the blue and vodka w/ a spoon touching the side of the glass and pouring the rest on the spoon so it didn’t mix. maybe that is the trick for above too?
