15 Times Expectations And Reality Were Very Different

Everyone has certain expectations when buying something for themselves. We don't expect the packaging of a product or advertisement of a food item on a menu to be all that different than what it is in real life.

Far too many times fast food restaurants or packaged, especially frozen, meals have presented us with something subpar than what is expected. Time and time again, we fall for it, never to learn from past mistakes.

These kinds of disappointments leave us feeling defeated and uneasy, and probably unsatisfied as well. Here are 15 terrible reality checks experienced by people on Reddit's /r/ExpectationVsReality.
