I bought a ***** enlarger for $100. When I opened the box it was a magnifying glass!

Forgot all about that. Thanks for the memories. I remember the X-ray glasses, never had a pair, and Sea Monkeys

I remember those ads, I really dreamt of going down to the creek and going under in my new submarine. cardboard huh? That would have been a disappointment. Even a 10 year old kid knows when he's been ripped off. But really anything made in China is a disappointment IMO.

Probably either of my CVO bikes. A 2007 Ultra that liked to spit head gaskets like they were watermelon seeds and my 2009 Ultra that sounded like someone was shaking a bag of marbles. "They all make that noise!" No, they don't.

Yeah, that. Why is it that nothing works in real life like it does on TV?

Most disappointing purchase is spending a lot of money to get married.
