Bait and Switch: Products That Didn't Match the Advertisements

3. The Dollar Store Dilemma

Price: $1* Made By: Unidentified Purchased From: Dollar Store A user on the Reddit thread r/ExpectationVsReality shared their experience with a puzzle purchased from the "dollar store" for just $1. Unfortunately, the product did not live up to expectations. Not only were five jigsaw pieces missing, but the image on the box bore little resemblance to the actual picture of the completed puzzle.

The only real similarity between the two seems to be the presence of a mountain in the distance. Despite these discrepancies, the individual deserves significant credit for managing to piece together the puzzle without any reference image.
