Life is disappointing sometimes, everyone knows that. Not everything is what it seems. Marketing takes time and skill to learn for a reason. Everyone has fallen for a good marketing tactic before. Take fast-food ads, for example, everyone tries the newest burger, the newest combo, the new sauce flavor, is it ever as good as advertised? Not usually. Still, though, it's fun to be excited about things, and sometimes, sharing the disappointment is fun as well, especially when there is a community waiting to see it.

Reddit's /r/expectationvsreality is a subreddit where people can share everything they have tried that has left them disappointed. From salon trips to frozen meals and takeout, there is all kinds of disappointment to be seen. This subreddit acts as a kind of solace for people who have been disappointed as well as a warning for the rest of the world to maybe skip these disappointing things. Here are 25 failed 'expectation vs. reality' moments that made some folks pretty upset.
