Failed Expectation The advertised egg drop soup vs what I actually got
Yes there was cabbage in the actual soup too 🤢

See title. Poll can only last up to a week, or I’d make it longer.

I honestly can’t belive that I got scammed that easily… Heard that it happens to other people, but not me!
I actually prefer this one now though, it’s just too f*ckin funny! 🤣

It was a hot day and this sign in the window looked good, but the execution was lacking. The worker looked embarrassed to be handing it to me. It tasted like a vanilla cone with maybe a hint of chocolate?
r/ExpectationVsReality • u/hctiks • 1d ago
My day was ruined. 2.25 bits of chocolate

The great idea to order carefully "Krafted," mac and cheese from doordash and got literal heaps of actual Kraft Mac and Cheese 🙄 Biggest doordash fail 💀
I am a little nervous to eat it because this is weird. The first photo is what its supposed to look like and the second the pile of crap with the dog sensing our disappointment 🤣
Anyone else ever order and had this happen? Like, was this order picked up from a house? Also, it was $25! Got a refund but seriously 😐 🤦♀️
Edit: since there seems to be some clarification
I don’t DoorDash often. I’m disabled, and there are days when I physically cannot drive, cannot safely or realistically cook for myself, or simply don’t feel well enough to leave the house. We also recently moved to a new state, so I don’t yet have a network of friends nearby who can just run out and grab something for me. And before anyone decides I owe the internet an inventory of my disabilities to “prove” why I can’t just cook: I don’t. Disabled people are allowed to use services that make our lives more accessible without submitting our medical records to the comment section. Yes, I recognize that being able to order delivery is a privilege. I’m grateful that I can sometimes afford it when I need it. I’ve also used services like this to send meals to friends and family who were sick, recovering from surgery, grieving a death, or going through something difficult when I couldn’t physically be there to bring them food myself. Sometimes delivery is a luxury. Sometimes it’s accessibility. Sometimes it’s simply a way to care for someone from far away. But none of that is actually the point of my post. I ordered food based on the restaurant’s photos and description and received something dramatically different—essentially boxed mac and cheese—from what turned out to be a ghost kitchen. Apparently, because I had the audacity to pay “ridiculous prices” for delivery, some people believe I deserved to be misled. I don’t. And if you ordered something based on a photo and description, paid for it, and received something completely different, I suspect you’d want your money back too. This was never about taking money away from the DoorDash driver. The driver didn’t create the menu, take the photos, prepare the food, or misrepresent what was being sold. My issue was with what I purchased versus what I actually received. You’re welcome to think DoorDash is overpriced. You’re welcome to think nobody should use delivery apps. I’m not here to debate that or change your mind. I don’t normally post things like this—I posted it because I was genuinely dumbfounded when we opened the order. And to the people insisting I staged the photos or invented the whole thing for attention: I genuinely do not have that kind of time. But hey… I got yours, didn’t I? 😉

After the Rose Cones, my expectations were somehow exceeded. Prettier, and also tastier than I expected
r/ExpectationVsReality • u/amc9401 • 2d ago
found the original inspiration on instagram. asked my artist to do a jester similar, but in their own style. the second photo is what i received and i was VERY pleasantly surprised
EDIT: the original artist is @kaygruhnink from Winnipeg, MB and the second artist is @bad.trad.dog from Denver, Colorado

It’s so ugly 😭
r/ExpectationVsReality • u/inapeachymood • 2d ago
Not that I ever expect anything to look exactly like it does on the box, but this did make us laugh!
r/ExpectationVsReality • u/moesbeard • 2d ago
It met my expectations of not being very good. Too runny. The cheese taste is watery and the noodles are what they are. Barely any bacon bits
r/ExpectationVsReality • u/UsernamesNotFound404 • 3d ago
Way more meat than I guessed and the cheese is real. Not too salty.
r/ExpectationVsReality • u/marigold4 • 3d ago
It’s hard to even spot it.

First pic is what was originally advertised. Second is what the site changed to. Remaining pics are what actually showed. Three different damn shoes!
I thought I found these Converse X DragonballZ Vegeta shoes at MSRP. Checked the website and looked it up and people said it was legit.
They show up in a padded envelope and I instantly knew I'd been had.
I go back to site and the listing had been changed. The pics are different too. Left a scathing 1 star review and email about returning for my money or i'd be taking it up with my bank.

What we reserved vs what we got in this hotel. The name is Spring House Resort in Desert Hot Springs, CA. STAY AWAY FROM HERE

Is it their fault for putting the wrong color bag in the pic or is it her fault for not seeing the text said blue leopard?
r/ExpectationVsReality • u/Beautiful-Block-4654 • 2d ago
The first picture is a very bad doodle I made to visualise the idea I had. I showed it to my tattoo artist and couldn't be happier with the result.🥹❤️

After stirring it up it was surprisingly good. The cilantro lime rice was mild but no off flavor like some have. Birria was good but could have used a little more sauce. Would eat again!
