Expectations versus reality: food on the menu and in life

It often happens that you order food in a cafe or restaurant, and you get, it would seem, a completely different dish. IN subreddit Expectations Versus Reality publishes such comparisons regularly. We made a selection of the most striking examples.

“I know it’s hard to believe, but above is a photo from the delivery, and below is what they brought me.”

Another strange experience with delivery - Mac-n-cheese with goldfish.

"I literally screamed when I opened the box."

It looked much more appetizing in the photo.

Matcha latte is not the same.

"Rainbow" lemonade.

"The airport cafe ruined my dreams."

And one more dish from the airport.

It's exactly the same donut?

This is the fault of many cafes.

The ad says it's a "super cheesy chili burger." It's hard to say which is less - cheese or pepper.

“We ordered a new 70-centimeter pizza. We got four separate 35-centimeters. "

Nachos in the cinema. And it cost $ 8!

It's hard to believe that this is the same cheese and meat plate.

“Looking at the photo on the menu, I had no idea that my perception of medium rare and this restaurant is so different.”

Photo cocktail on the hotel menu and what is brought to the room.

But it's not always that bad. For example, this donut burger is almost identical to the ad.

“Many people talk about the awful burgers they are served, so I wanted to share my successful experience. I took such a burger with me, warmed it up the next day, cut it and took this photo - it looks almost like in the picture! "

And these cannoli look even more appetizing than on the menu.

When an employee is in a good mood.
