Sometimes, things in life don't work out too well. Honestly, more often than not, things don't go exactly right in life. Things go wrong, differently or just a little strange very often. This disappointment is just a part of being alive. This happens a lot with products and the things people buy, whether it be clothes, food or a DIY kit. For some reason, though, people keep falling for clever advertising, some of these ads are just too good. Things aren't always what they seem, and that's something everyone needs to remember.

It's good to be excited about things in life, but that excitement comes with the risk of things going poorly. For example, all of those new fast-food items always look so tempting, but everyone knows that the food won't come out looking as it did in the photo. Marketing is a skill for a reason, and these marketers are good.

Reddit's /r/expectationvsreality is a subreddit where people share all of the things in life they have been disappointed by. This subreddit is just one way people can deal with the disappointing expectation vs reality moments they experience. Here are 26 of those fails that are just annoying to see.
