false advertising

You can't always be sure that what you purchase online is going to be exactly what the picture shows. All you can really do is read the reviews and, at the end of the day, put your trust in the Amazon gods. After that it's up to the divine powers of eCommerce whether you get a working product or something completely and utterly disappointing like what these people got - some prime examples of expectation vs. reality!

False advertising is never cool, but there's something about false food advertising that kinda next-level stings. Looking forward to a pizza and then discovering it lacks cheese or boasts just one circle of pepperoni is practically devastating. There's even a subreddit dedicated to this kind of betrayal. On r/foodscam you'll find tragic lies involving pizza, sandwiches, and even "crookies" - cookies that are woefully misrepresented in their packaging. We've put together some of the more horrifying crimes against consumers from the subreddit, but there's loads more where these come from.
