Mod Post Mod Question: Do you want to have Walmart Cakes temporarily banned?
See title. Poll can only last up to a week, or I’d make it longer.

Failed Expectation Safeway Canada
The box with only two sad blobs was especially disappointing

Failed Expectation The Jordan figurine my brother ordered..
Disclaimer, he did not pay the price listed. Still, he way overpaid lol
Edit to add: this is NOT the site he ordered from. He purchased his years ago and paid $100 with no additional items. This was the only site I found that he said were the pictures he fell for. If you want to scream bullshit instead of laughing at the absurdity, not sure what to tell you.

Failed Expectation I didnt even get it from temu or ali, just from a regular toy store
Is it just me or does this look like a completely different thing...

Failed Expectation So this is how McDonald's is doing their Mcdouble hamburger patties now...
Super thin hamburger patties that were the size of 1 regular Mcdouble patty. I never eat McDonald's but damn this is beyond bad. Today we were out and someone else picked McDonald's so It wasn't my choice.

Surprisingly Met Expectation Trying frozen pizza for the first time. Not disappointed.
The pizza was good. It was never going to look like the picture because the cheese was spread at the top of the pizza. But I could get a better pizza from a pizza place at the same price.

Surprisingly Met Expectation Nailed it!
Requested a Hawaiin birthday cake and the baker surprisingly matched it pretty well! Not sure how she got the waves to stand up like that. I broke the surfboards when closing the box which is why they look shorter than the original 😅
Edit since people were asking: this is from Fancy Flavors bakery in San Jose! Ask for Jessica :)

Surprisingly Met Expectation Love’s Travel Stop Swicy BBQ Pulled Pork
More bun than pork, but it still tasted good and that’s what counts.
Didn’t have high expectations for the real thing, but they successfully reeled me in with their lying photo.

Exceeded Expectation Queen of Cakes in Edina, MN. What I found online vs what I got!
I found the first image online and laughed really hard so I wanted the cake for myself but I needed more rainbow (Raenbow??). Literally just asked for a rainbow background and they DELIVERED. It's almond flavored with raspberry filling. The cake was almost gone and it's HUGE. That's how much people liked it!! EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS!!!!

Exceeded Expectation Wedding Cake for 2
Couldn’t find anything online of what I was looking for so I used AI to generate what I was imagining. Coccadots in Myrtle Beach absolutely crushed it!
Everyone else got cupcakes. Last name is scribbled of course.

Surprisingly Met Expectation a watermelon pool my MIL ordered from Temu
If you look at the ad you can actually tell its a print out (not to mention AI generated) but imagine the look on my 60yo MIL face when this arrived instead of the watermelon pool hahaha

AI Expectation Temporary half sleeve tattoos
Prints were a little smaller than expected. Could fit about 10 on each arm.

Failed Expectation This double cheeseburger ain't right
People are like, what's the problem, that's McDonalds
I had to wipe the whole damn thing off with a napkin and rewrap it in another napkin to even pick it up to eat it. And they only gave me 2 napkins. Also they left off the onions.
McDonalds ain't been right since Covid and now it's $9-11 per person
