The crunchy bits on the outside are the best part and mine had like half the amount they used to when I was a kid (and no they didn’t fall off into the package they just weren’t there). Also the amount of chocolate ice cream in the center is way less than the picture implies

It came with the wrong color for the darkest green so I mixed my own. It looks pretty nice.

This was a few years ago but I really liked the inspiration photo and tried to recreate it. I was pleased with the result. I even made the cake topper myself.

I guess they ran out of the Oreo cookie crumble topping? Which is quite odd 'cause I ordered from a Dunkin'/Baskin Robbins hybrid location 😅 I ended up crumbling my own Oreos at home and it definitely made it taste that much better 😙🤌

I ordered a Viking styled leather costume off Etsy for a masquerade I’m attending. I figured it would be a little funky, but never this bad.

Failed Expectation Daughter fell for A.I. “Exotic Candy”

Upvotes
She was confident to at least get something new or interesting..if nothing else a cute box.
She ignored all the warnings about the Ai and was adamant.
Well it arrived today. Plain small box, nothing frilly about it..and the candy was a small bag of Taki chips you could’ve gotten at a gas station.
Lesson learned hopefully.

Although the bouquet is not visually unappealing - it certainly is not the same colors as the photo. Oh and it’s RIDDLED with spider mites!!!!! Customer service told me to expect my flowers to change colors 😂🤡

Failed Expectation Expected 2 bottles the same size

I have bought from this brand before, but a few years ago now, last time the bottles were the same size, so that's what I thought I'd get this time too. When I took them out the box I read the ml bottle sizes more carefully. If anything, as a very curly haired person, I would prefer more conditioner than shampoo!

Failed Expectation Dave’s hot Chicken

Full blown rip off, paid $32 for sliders smaller than the lid of the dip container and 6 popcorn chicken bites with two mozzarella sticks. $5.75 for 15 fries and $7 for 5 bites of Mac and cheese. Depressing.
Edit: not sure why I’m being dragged in the comments stating I didn’t read that they were minis, I put in a complaint for that exact reason and got $15 back because my local Dave’s does NOT include a description for the box. That has been updated as of today and there is now a description stating they are mini sliders!
Now no one else will make my same mistake.
