In this fast-paced world of online commerce and on-the-go lifestyle, we sometimes make quick and questionable decisions - Like ordering a quick sandwich in a gas station or buying a dress from an unknown website at 3AM. Very rarely do we actually get what we ordered and more often than not we receive a product that is only 'technically' what we ordered. That slice of pepperoni pizza with one slice of pepperoni on it, or that Micky Mouse cake that only looks like Mickey if you squint really heard and look at it from across the room.

These are some hilarious examples of people who had hopes of getting what they ordered but finally having to settle on a product that no sane person would ever spend money on. It also seems like there is a real pandemic of products "Half- hidden" behind the packaging, where the hidden half is not there at all, leaving you with half the product. Aren't there laws against that?
