Expectation vs. Reality: 25+ Botched products that didn't meet expectations

Things don't always turn out exactly as you'd hoped. Sometimes things are a little better than you thought it would be, and that's a lovely surprise. Other times, the circumstances are a bit worse than you anticipated, which is a bit of a letdown. There's nowhere that's more obvious than online shopping, where people are constantly finding the coolest clothing or toys of their dreams, only to have their hopes dashed when the item actually arrives. 

Ordering clothes on the internet consistently has some of the worst results for the buyer. It's easy to fake how clothes look in their pictures online—they fit the model perfectly and look completely stunning. But then when they show up in the mail, they're a polyester nightmare that looks like it cost $2 to make. But it's not just online stuff. A lot of people have issues with the cakes they've ordered from bakeries! It's clear when a baker doesn't have the skills to make the promised dessert, but they try anyway, and the cake just looks… rough. 

Have a laugh at these times when products failed to meet expectations. Up next, read about the funniest 1-star reviews people have left of our country's great national parks, like the person who was upset that "the squirrels were wildly untrained."
