The last possible thing you want to deal with when spending your hard-earned money on food is to realize that you ended up completely losing the food lottery. Maybe it was a bag of chips that came up far too short. Or, it could’ve been a meal you ordered through one of the many overpriced food delivery apps, that ended up being half the portion you paid full price for. These food lottery losses are horribly frustrating experiences that no one deserves. Life’s expensive enough without paying the full price for the short end of the stick. Hopefully the tide turned in these people’s favor after they failed to get their money’s worth for foods.
1. The fact that there’s only two is enough to bring on the rage.

Shrinkflation is here.
2. Hardly even an avocado seed at all.

Someone certainly didn’t win the jackpot.
3. Only five and a half chips in a whole bag.

This is part of the reason why so many folks are devoted to their Pringles.
4. This Swiss cheese is slacking on the job.

At least you could try to spin it like pizza dough.
5. A whole slice of pizza with no cheese is downright unacceptable.

Don’t take that slice away from the good folks.
6. This just feels wrong on all levels.

Now that’s a literal tooth of Peppermint candy if I’ve ever seen one.
7. The epitome of a ripoff.

Someone was getting lazy when it came to fairly packaging the goods.
8. At the end of the day, what even is this?

This is what we call a situation where someone did the opposite of winning the food lottery.
9. Yeah, I’ll take the tortilla burrito as well.

Because who doesn’t love a burrito with no fillings at all?
10. Might as well still try to eat the watermelon.

It’s wild that orange and yellow watermelons are
11. You win some, and then you definitely lose some.

Some pictures just make you sadder than others.
12. A literal highway robbery.

If you tried to email the company you might even be able to pull off a prize box of free Rice Krispies treats.
13. Someone wanted to get rid of all the cherry flavored gummies.

So, this predicament boils down to your preferred flavor. This would be a smashing victory for anyone who likes cherry-flavored food items.
14. Who knew that the mini-mini tortillas were really where it’s at?

While it’s not ideal to find yourself with a mini mini tortilla when you were banking on the mini tortillas, things can still be accomplished with a mini mini tortilla. Maybe all hope isn’t lost, after all.
15. Hollow eggs are magical or something.

Oh dear, the humanity. How could they? How could they possibly have the audacity to try and pawn this egg off as being anything but a hollow egg? Some folks are just heartless.
16. That left one has hit its peak struggle era.

So, these are pretty much cat food pizzas.
17. Not every ice cube is built the same.

That piece of ice is giving off a bit of Frankenstein energy. Isn’t it just the best when you get a surprise attack from a monstrous looking piece of ice? Truly.
18. A biscuit without the other cookie on top and without the cream.

This biscuit had no more love to give. It must’ve been exhausted. Unfortunately, the hungry customer on the receiving end of the situation came out with an undeniable food lottery loss.
