The frustrating but funny truth about online recipes

Matt Shirley‘s charts and graphs are a thing of beauty. They address the trials and tribulations of everyday events – the human condition, if you will.

In this pair of pie charts (aptly) he has managed to convey the awful truth about online recipes.

See for yourself.

I would add a small slice of “The most useless user comments about anything that you can find on the Internet”.
