When we shop, we quickly determine which products seem the best, but it doesn't always imply what we receive is precisely what the box says. There are times when the real result appears completely different from our expectations. Whether it's a production issue or a dubious variation in drink sizes at McDonald's, certain businesses bear a great deal of responsibility for their product delivery.

Some claimed to be "40% bigger," while others said they were "30% bigger." Which of them was being honest? It will always remain a mystery.
