13. Cream and coffee
Placed Order: German Cafe
Order price on average: $3.44*
Put this one down to a linguistic barrier—it looks so good, anyway. A patron of a German eatery placed an order for a “coffee with cream.” The barista brought a plate of whipped cream and a cup of coffee, perhaps not realizing that was the standard order for English speakers, while doubtlessly wondering who the strange customer was.

Fortunately, the coffee doesn’t appear to be black, so the patron most likely didn’t have to finish a bitter cup. It is uncertain which particular coffee shop he or she visited, but in Germany, a cup of coffee typically costs $3.44.
