THE MESS HALL – There are times where a seemingly small action has an outsized effect. For example, let's say you're making cookies and accidentally drop a teaspoon of vanilla extract on the counter. Just like that, you go from a clean kitchen to suddenly having thousands of little splatters on every surface within a mile radius of the incident.

Or let's say you're feeding your baby a spoonful of baby food. She decides the veggie mush isn't to her liking and quickly spits it out. Seems simple enough, like there might be some blobs of food to clean off the floor. Instead, there's a fine mist of green goo covering your face, shirt, pants, as well as the wall behind you.

One of these chaotic scenes plays out in the video below:

Apparently, the family was eating dinner in front of their house when their dog noticed another dog walking by on the street. Flying out the house like a meal-seeking missile, the dog runs straight through their food.

Obviously, you'd expect a mess from this scenario. But the dog isn't particularly big, so maybe some of the food might be spared from its wrath.

Nope. This dog somehow managed to send nearly every plate and bowl flying. There's literally a trail of food left in its wake, and the family is left stunned by the destruction. I guess that's what you get for setting up dinner right in the path of an energetic dog.
