15 Times Major Reality Checks Crushed Every Expectation
Nothing is ever truly as good as it seems in life. It's unfortunate, but for whatever reason, advertising and our own brains make things out to be way more incredible than they really are. Advertising is really good at this, especially with food. They take the perfect picture of what they know looks good and then give you something that is just close enough to not be false advertising. Generally, though, it is far from the perfect image they put on the box.
Why can't things just be as we all want them to be? It's a constant battle between wanting what looks good, and knowing it won't be that good. These little yet drastic disappointments are prevalent all throughout life. Reddit's /r/ExpectationVsReality is full of times reality hit people like a ton of bricks and left them super unsatisfied and disappointed in the world, and usually still hungry too. Here are 20 of those awful moments.
