Everyone has certain expectations when buying something new. People get excited to try new things, and that's fine. In all fairness, people should expect the packaging and marketing to match what they receive. Unfortunately, though, that is not always the case. More times than not, things are not what they claim to be. Products always look better in the photos, which leaves people a little disappointed from time to time. This can happen with anything from fast-food menu items to clothing bought online. No one ever knows what they are going to get.

One way people deal with this disappointment is by sharing it with others. This is partly a way to laugh at the situation and partly a warning for others not to make the same mistake they did. Many of these 'expectation vs reality' moments can be found online, and they are all pretty mildly infuriating.
