Expectations and reality: 16 photos of food on packaging and in life

How often has it happened to you that food in an unopened package turned out to be not at all as appetizing as in the picture? IN subreddit Expectations Versus Reality publishes such comparisons regularly. We made a selection of the most striking examples.

This can only be called a cheeseburger.

“I can't even describe my disappointment. The day is ruined. "

“I was expecting pieces of dried strawberries. Instead, I got a strawberry-flavored powder cobblestone.

Not the tastiest hummus you might have seen.

"Even one whole mushroom will not be enough ..."

A similar story, only with broccoli. And even sadder.

And this is generally beyond good and evil: in the package with broccoli, most are stems.

"I was expecting at least a LITTLE cookie."

Ice cream rarely resembles packaging at all.

It was supposed to be a dry breakfast with pieces of chocolate.

"You have no idea how angry I am now."

Something is clearly missing here.

Reminds of a vile food from the plane.

But there are also good things. For example, this girl did not expect at all that the package will contain the same unusual potato as on the package.

"This thing was only worth a dollar, I will definitely buy more."

The perfect baumkuchen?
