Are my expectations too high?

Seriously, are they? I've had several opportunities these last few weeks to think about things that work, and don't, as advertised. I find it odd when something does work I'm overwhelmed with excitement. The other day I decided to put together an impromptu study of advertisements in my house and see if they delievered as promised. This is a very small list and I'm completely open for additions.
