64 Times Reality Exceeded Expectations Or Really Disappointed Someone Who Was Hungry (New Pics)
At the kitchen table, you need hope. Hope that the frozen pizza you bought at the store or the burger you ordered for delivery will look at least somewhat like what it was advertised.
But the fact of the matter is that what you see is not always what you get. (Photoshop and greed are an evil but effective duo.) In that sense, feeding yourselves can feel like a lottery.
To help you prepare for the possible wins and losses, we collected a list of some of the most memorable food expectations vs. reality moments we found online. Just beware, it might affect your appetite in all sorts of ways.

I think it turned out great! Remember that the box has to close that’s why I think the leafs weren’t made that long.

The Cake That Was Delivered Versus The Cake That My Sister Ordered For My Birthday 😂
I'm not even kidding, it's one of the best birthday cakes I have received. Because the joy it brought was unparalleled. I laughed so much each time I looked at that one angry bee and the sorry state of the other one. My sister was furious. She wrote an angry email to the bakery even though I kept telling her it was not required, because this cake was so special in it's own way 😂 the original would never have been so memorable!

This Pizza I Got For $1.75
Elladine DesIsles 1 day ago
The plain cheese version of this product is one of my autistic kid's safe foods. I pay $1.50 CAD, or less per pizza when I buy a 4-pack. Just squeezed 4 into my freezer this afternoon and if I'm lucky they'll last a couple of days - he's 14 and while he doesn't eat a lot of different things, like most teenage boys he does eat a lot!

Let's Try The Newman's Pizza On Sale For $3.99
It was really good and I LOVE the little packet of salami! I did add some fresh basil since it was lacking in that. Cooked on oven rack for 10 minutes and was great. A very small area of crust was too hard to enjoy, but otherwise it was perfect. The sauce is yummy.

Burger King Is Selling Hollow Chicken Sandwiches
Kira Okah 1 day ago
Not the best of the available images to be chosen. The chicken patty has separated in the middle to present a hole down the length of the centre, most likely from a partially thawed patty that hit the hot frier oil and the water quickly turning to steam and so forming the hole. It's basically a large chicken nugget, so water (from being frozen) can end up in the meat and separate it when it stems.
