Not sure why, but microwave noodle bowls are never disappointing to me even though I feel like they should be. Sorry you left it at home!
The biggest disappointment that I can think of like that was in college when a friend and I found Moonpies in a store and reminisced that we had both loved them as kids. We ended up buying a couple and eating them and realizing that our childhood tastebuds were totally off the mark. From that point on we referred to things that we used to love, but that turn out to be disappointments as "Moonpies".
On a less off topic note, I went to Microcenter today to try MX blue and brown switches - expecting to really like the blues (I've been either typing on a Model M or Cherry blacks). I was totally underwhelmed. I think starting with the IBM keyboards was bad. I want the feeling of the Model F on a modern keyboard. I'm even thinking about picking up a different mouse or a separate key pad to map the missing mac/windows keys to and then getting a Teensy so that I can get this old Model F XT keyboard I have lying around to work.
If someone were to make a modern keyboard with the model F switches I'd buy it at just about any price.
