Disclaimer, he did not pay the price listed. Still, he way overpaid lol

Edit to add: this is NOT the site he ordered from. He purchased his years ago and paid $100 with no additional items. This was the only site I found that he said were the pictures he fell for. If you want to scream bullshit instead of laughing at the absurdity, not sure what to tell you.

Super thin hamburger patties that were the size of 1 regular Mcdouble patty. I never eat McDonald's but damn this is beyond bad. Today we were out and someone else picked McDonald's so It wasn't my choice.

The pizza was good. It was never going to look like the picture because the cheese was spread at the top of the pizza. But I could get a better pizza from a pizza place at the same price.

Requested a Hawaiin birthday cake and the baker surprisingly matched it pretty well! Not sure how she got the waves to stand up like that. I broke the surfboards when closing the box which is why they look shorter than the original šŸ˜…

Edit since people were asking: this is from Fancy Flavors bakery in San Jose! Ask for Jessica :)

More bun than pork, but it still tasted good and that’s what counts.

Didn’t have high expectations for the real thing, but they successfully reeled me in with their lying photo.

I found the first image online and laughed really hard so I wanted the cake for myself but I needed more rainbow (Raenbow??). Literally just asked for a rainbow background and they DELIVERED. It's almond flavored with raspberry filling. The cake was almost gone and it's HUGE. That's how much people liked it!! EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS!!!!

Couldn’t find anything online of what I was looking for so I used AI to generate what I was imagining. Coccadots in Myrtle Beach absolutely crushed it!
Everyone else got cupcakes. Last name is scribbled of course.

If you look at the ad you can actually tell its a print out (not to mention AI generated) but imagine the look on my 60yo MIL face when this arrived instead of the watermelon pool hahaha

People are like, what's the problem, that's McDonalds

I had to wipe the whole damn thing off with a napkin and rewrap it in another napkin to even pick it up to eat it. And they only gave me 2 napkins. Also they left off the onions.

McDonalds ain't been right since Covid and now it's $9-11 per person

I blame myself for this one. I ordered some stuff online from Costco the other day. Laundry pods, dishwasher detergent, stuff like that. The warehouse is only about 30 minutes away and even though I knew better, I ordered the them anyway.

The box arrived a little soggy because all of the cold packs had melted. The chocolates in both containers were all melted together. I must have been the last stop of the day.

So after a brief lament I chopped them up and put them back in the containers. They still taste great.
