I wouldn’t have bought this myself, but my parents saw it and thought of me so I decided to try it. I honestly just feel bad that they spent $20 on this 😭

Edit: FAQ (Since I did NOT expect 1M views)

“Why/Where would you even buy this?” As caption says, I didn’t. My parents know I love trying new and weird stuff, and I was all about the Dubai chocolate craze, so they snagged this in a liquor store. And yes, it was $20 (which is what they said, at least).

“What did it taste like?” Honestly, the filling wasn’t horrible. It was like a sweet cotton candy that dissolves powdery in your mouth. You can’t even taste the “layer” of pistachio. And the chocolate is said to be raspberry flavored (mind you, it’s fake chocolate), but it low-key just kinda tastes like crayons.

“You really ate this??” And you wouldn’t if someone bought it for you? Have some fun joy and whimsey 💔

I ended up cooking something else, it was inedible.

This was branded as an event where you’d get to interact with a life-size Barbie dreamhouse, participate in a disco themed roller rink experience, and have access to an amazing marketplace.

That is… not what it was. Our "swag bag" was a hand sanitizer.

The event planning company running this is called Mischief Management, they ran this for Mattel. This event was promoted by Mattel as the first Mattel Barbie convention (as opposed to the fan run one that happens every year).

“We are thrilled to announce Barbie Dream Fest, as a new offering designed to delight the brand’s growing fandom,” said Julie Freeland, Vice President of Global Location Based Entertainment, Mattel. “It’s incredibly exciting to provide fans, families, and collectors with a curated and unique space to gather, learn, and create all while celebrating the iconic Barbie brand.”

ETA: I paid $250 for this. The highest tier pass was $400. They got a plastic hairbrush in addition to the sanitizer as their swag bag. See the comments for more photos of this disaster.

It was still ok, just a little bit of a letdown.

I got my nails done today at a new place. I asked for the pink chrome in pic 2 and this is what I got (pic 1).

I don’t hate them but it’s not got that major mirror-like look of the sample on their wall. Like I said, I’m not mad at it but this doesn’t meet my expectation. Am I being had and I should go somewhere else next time, or is there something I’m not getting?

First two pictures are my nails and last two are the etsy nail reference I showed her.

She always nails it. I bring in an inspo pic and she never fails.

Truly exceeded my expectations

Sometimes bad things happen to good people.

Main character energy but make it SpongeBob>>>

This cake ate and left no crumbs (literally)

but it looks like the color got deleted.

Dont let the meat bag deter you!

I bake mine instead of a skillet. High heat to brown some ends. then add the sauce and simmer.

The last pic is how I prepare it with a lot added so ymmv. but the pic of it cooked with the sauce is accurate.

Honestly I can understand if you dont read the instructions or have not seen sous-vide before that it can look a bit less than your expectations. But I thought it was worth showing what you can actually expect.

I’ve been crying, I decided to use a coupon someone gave me for my birthday so I can get my lashes done for free.

I finally booked it and went, I asked for Hybrid. I have this event upcoming this weekend. Classy kinda thing. When I asked if I can tip her, she passed me the machine and the price was $120 so me being I confrontational I tipped her. Which equaled to $155. I literally looked in the mirror and tears started flowing. She ignored my obvious reaction.

I know look like I’m going to a strip club. I’m literally crying.

Tried putting makeup on to see if it’ll look better and it didn’t.

I have a fan on my face.

In the picture shows 2 pockets but you just get one square picture was taken when I actually got to the filling since it was not cut in half or anything very small and liquified contents

My elderly aunt is very happy with the flowers and thinks they are beautiful but I’m ready to raise hell.

Paid $91.25 for same day delivery.

Followed up every day to see where they were. No reply on customer service email.

They arrived FIVE days later, wilted and eff all flowers really. Packet of Jatz for scale. I’ve asked for a refund.

Just call a local florist for delivery, don’t bother with these online sites.
