We discuss conditions for well-posedness of the scalar reaction-diffusion equation $u_{t}=\Delta u+f(u)$ equipped with Dirichlet boundary conditions where the initial data is unbounded. Standard growth conditions are juxtaposed with the no-blow-up condition $\int_{1}^{\infty}1/f(s) \d s=\infty$ that guarantees global solutions for the related ODE $\dot u=f(u)$. We investigate well-posedness of the toy PDE $u_{t}=f(u)$ in $L^{p}$ under this no-blow-up condition. An example is given of a source term $f$ and an initial condition $\psi\in L^{2}(0,1)$ such that $\int_{1}^{\infty}1/f(s)\d s=\infty$ and the toy PDE blows-up instantaneously while the reaction-diffusion equation is globally well-posed in $L^{2}(0,1)$.
