25 Disappointing Realities Experienced By Consumers

Things don't always work out the way we want them to in life. In fact, more often than not, things do not work out in our favor. We get excited about many things in life, and that's normal, but the fact of the matter is that our expectations of something don't always pull through. Reality has to come in and ruin things all the time, unfortunately. This happens a lot with products and stuff we purchase especially food.

What's even worse are frozen meals and gourmet-looking boxed snacks, they truly are never as good as they look.

Reddit's /r/expectationvsreality is a subreddit where users can share their most disappointing failures with everyone. It's a place to go to be warned about these advertisements that are too good to be true, and a reminder to not fall for them. Here are 25 moments of "expectation vs reality" crushing everyone's dreams.
