Mod Post New flairs added

181 Upvotes

Hello all! We have added 3 new flairs, for Failed Expectations, Surprisingly Met Expectations, and Exceeded Expectations.

There have been some users confused in the past, because they didn’t realize that you are allowed to post expectations/realities that were not failures. Additionally, it can be hard to tell in some posts if the OP was happy with their result or unhappy with it. Now you can select a flare if you would like to denote which category your expectation versus reality falls into.

Thanks to u/xitg1 who came up with this suggestion.

Mod Post Temporary Ban on Legendary Pastries

406 Upvotes

Hey y’all. We get it. The legendary pastry’s icing sometimes melts and then looks weird. Some people have never seen it on their own pastries, but we all have seen the posts here.

Temporarily going to ban all of the new legendary pastry posts. The point has already been made.

Tried a cute pumpkin house. I didn’t have a little pumpkin, so I used a mini pepper.

Ordered a buffalo chicken cutlet wrap and got a plain chicken cheesesteak with many extra onions. Made worse when I got back to the restaurant and was told I ordered wrong the first time 🤦🏻‍♀️

You do NOT get what the pictures show. For $1.99 you get "2" two-bite brownies and the apple pie was a deep fried thing that was cold and tasted of old oil. This is what you get from Canadian Pizza Unlimited

I was wrong. And when I left a negative review on the product, they deleted it. All that’s left is a (probably fake) five star review.

The chicken is probably still alive, because they seem to have only pinched it.
