The holidays have arrived, which means one thing for many of us: it’s turkey time! And with that comes the well-known struggle of preparing the bird for the oven.
A funny Jennie-O ad shows just how interesting things can get when you’re trying to manage a big, slippery turkey.
Making the perfect Thanksgiving meal takes a lot of work, but let’s be honest—it doesn’t always look fancy. For many people, it’s not a calm Martha Stewart moment; it feels more like a wrestling match with a 20-pound, wobbly bird.
This video has folks laughing all over the internet and features a woman’s very relatable fight with her Thanksgiving turkey.
In this clip, this brave lady faces the challenge of lifting a huge turkey out of her sink.
With water still running over it, she confidently goes in for the lift.
But just as she thinks she’ll succeed, her hands slide right off its slick surface.
Can’t you feel her pain?
She tries every angle and grip type and finally realizes she has to tackle it head-on.
She wraps her arms around that turkey like it’s a big bear hug because sometimes you’ve got to go all in.
After several tries and with determination on her face, she finally manages to yank that bird outta the sink. But as we know too well getting that turkey out isn’t always where troubles end.
Just when it seems like she’s won, the turkey slips from her grip and lands right on the kitchen floor. Her reaction? Well let’s say it’s something many cooks can relate to even if they don’t admit it!
A Thanksgiving dinner hitting the floor is pretty common; it’s not only in ads. Debbie K., for instance, shared her own story with Redbook: “I dropped my turkey after rubbing olive oil all over. I rinsed it off then rubbed oil again before cooking. Didn’t tell anyone for 10 years… I just told them last year. Oh well didn’t hurt anyone or make them sick!”
The clip is an awesome reminder holiday cooking rarely goes as planned! It reminds us when we think about Thanksgiving dinner we’re all together—mishaps included!
