'There are some reoccurring debates in our group, like whether or not it's acceptable to prepare food in a sink for example, and members are quick to pick their side and stick to it. Sarah told us she and her fellow admins love managing 'This Is Why I Don't Do Potlucks', although it can be tough at times. From that moment on, the group started steadily growing and amassing over 128k members who eagerly await new eyesores to grace their feeds, participate in discussions, and share their own opinions about their aversion to homemade food. We got the title from the most common type of comment on those kinds of posts, which was that this was why people didn't trust food from a potluck,' Sarah told Bored Panda.Īs it turns out, thousands of people came forward to share their fear of the potluck. 'We were getting so many gross food prep areas posted there that someone suggested making a separate group just for that. When asked what inspired her to launch the page in the first place, Sarah explained it all began as a spin-off from her other Facebook group called 'Messy Houses You Zoom In To See The Background Of'.
We managed to get in touch with the creator of 'This Is Why I Don't Do Potlucks', Sarah, who was kind enough to chat with us about the background of this entertaining group, its community, and the whole potluck paranoia phenomenon.
