Global News Calgary's Leslie Horton made the worst artichoke dip ever (VIDEO)

In what might just be the funniest viral video (880,000 views on YouTube at time of publishing) to close out the year, Global News Calgary’s traffic reporter Leslie Horton brought in a homemade artichoke dip as part of the station’s week of sharing holiday treats… and things went horribly wrong.

Horton said she wanted to bring a a fruitcake from Safeway but her family got her to make something instead.

She should have just gone with the fruitcake, clearly.

We figured it out… she used pickled artichokes from a jar instead of fresh chopped artichokes #fail https://t.co/NBARQTgVLh
