Forgetting stuff is always a drag. It leaves us living out a day as we normally would, but at a disadvantage that’s just noticeable enough to be annoying.
Strangely, though, forgetting something can suddenly go from being aggravating to hilarious when we see a bigger result from it. Of course, that’s not true if one small detail ends up getting somebody fired, but we can still see the funny side when someone leaves a soda can in the freezer.

According to Smithsonian Magazine , the fumes of rotten potatoes can cause illness and even death in some extreme cases.

Someone forgot to print the “1” in “100%” on this label, leading to a confusing claim. Okay, so it’s not Colombian medium roast, but what IS it?
Looks… delicious.
Sometimes, after a long day, you don’t always remember if you hit “copy image” or “copy image address” before you hit paste. Sometimes that happens when you work at Vitamin Water.
