5. Veggie Fries with Rooster

Price: $4* Produced In: Australia by Red Rooster Purchased From: Red Rooster Australia On Reddit, user @squidmittens shared their experience, stating, "It's been three years since Red Rooster Australia served this up to me." The post humorously notes that they are "still saltier than their chips"—referring to fries for American readers. This comment captures the lingering disappointment from a meal that didn’t meet expectations.

  Source: Reddit/Rooster Fries: Expectations versus Reality These loaded fries were intended to appear indulgently topped and satisfying. However, user @squidmittens expressed disappointment, noting that instead of being served with gravy and roast chicken as advertised, the fries they received looked weak and dry. Clearly, the meal fell short of expectations, leaving the poster feeling that they weren’t worth the money spent.
