Wheel of Fortune is a treasure trove of hilarious mishaps and the frequency of those funny moments has increased in the last couple of weeks.
In the most recent incident, the category given was Living Things. A woman confidently buzzed in and guessed, “Popsicle Bike.”
The answer left many dumbfounded and amused. People took to Twitter with their reactions.
