Expectations vs Reality: 15 Photos of Food in Advertising and in Real Life

On the Reddit community, Expectations vs. Reality often posts examples of failed orders. Often this is a photo of food: when, after ordering, it turns out that the dish has nothing to do with the promotional photo. We chose fresh examples of such disappointments.

1. Bread sticks (which don't look like bread sticks).

2. The sandwich is still similar, but the pizza is not even close to the promotional photo.

3. It’s good that they didn’t regret the toppings.

4. Tacos from the breakfast menu (apparently for those who do not like breakfast: it's hard to get enough of these).

5. This sandwich cost over $10.

6. Something is missing here.

7. Not the most appetizing pizza in Chicago.

8. The author writes that he himself did not immediately understand what the catch was.

9. The saddest thing is that there was no hot sauce inside, for which the dish was ordered (but the author writes that it was still delicious).

10. The bowl looks like someone has already eaten it.

11. Dish of the day from the cafeteria at work.

12. Smoothie bowl. A real smoothie with the same composition would have looked much better.

13. Rainbow cake... with a gray layer.

14. I want to believe that it is at least delicious.

15. Another bowl of chicken and another disappointment.
