Something that seems too good to be true, and turns out to be true, but also comes with lots of compromises and tradeoffs.

The epitome of quality customer service. What all customer representatives should be like in every realm of business.
The way Jane was treated by the flight attendants was far superior to the "professional service" she received when she called her ISP to cancel her internet plan.
The little orange traffic cone that could.
Created in 2001 by VideoLAN, a non-profit organization, VLC is probably one of the best programs to ever exist and never fails to deliver. Because of its wide support for all types of media files and codecs, it is always reliable no matter what you throw at it. It offers much snappier performance than the default video player on Windows, especially for high-bitrate files. And the best part is that it's free and open-source.
VLC is like a long-time friend that you can always trust and depend on. Long live VLC.
VLC media player is the most wholesome software ever. Every time I see that orange traffic cone pop up after the video ends, I feel right at home.
1 (joking) Someone who is sexually attracted to the fearsome dinosaur Allosaurus.
2 Someone whose favorite dinosaur is Allosaurus. They are such a huge stan for Allosaurus that they refer to themselves as Allosexuals. See also: Tyrannosexual.
Leslie: Yo check out the Allosaurus exhibit on your right.
Jenn: Omg what the heck that's the sexiest dinosaur I've ever seen, I'm officially an Allosexual now.

CBT, short for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, is a form of psychotherapy that aims at improving one's mental health through the process of challenging and correcting any unhelpful thoughts, attitudes, and ways of thinking. The idea is that most of your negative thoughts come from unrealistic and irrational mindsets, so by challenging these irrational thoughts and beliefs, you can see past the "negative filter" (cognitive distortions) you unknowingly imposed on yourself.
A girl who'sâin realityâskinny but think she's obese is a typical example of an irrational negative belief, which can be fixed with CBT.
CBT differs from other traditional therapies in that, rather than letting you vent out all your feelings (while the therapist nods to whatever you're saying), it is entirely "solution-orientated". This generally involves a structured approach where the therapist first identifies the flaws in your thoughts, and then tells you to see your thoughts as just ideas, rather than as facts. After that, the sessions generally involve trying ways to fix your perception (by looking at different viewpoints).
My friend persistently thought he could never get a girlfriend, so I told him to go seek CBT. After two months of CBT, his previous ways of thinking (I'm too ugly for a pretty girl, I can never find the perfect time to talk to her, I sweat too much, etc etc) were trashed and replaced by more helpful and realistic thoughts. Six months later and he's already dated two hot college chicks.

Basically just plain ol' psychology. Reverse reverse psychology only exists when the other person assumes that you are doing reverse psychology on them (when you are not).
Sgt McDonut: "I wouldn't press the button that says 'eject' if I were you."
Pvt Cummings: "I know you're just reverse psychology'ing me, so I won't."
Sgt McDonut: "And that's exactly what I wanted you to do. The button was to eject me out of the plane, not you. Thankfully I factored in the possibility that you would think I'm doing reverse psychology. And even if I was unaware of your mental gymnastics, your reverse psychology guess would've screwed you anyway because the eject button for your seat was in my hands all this time. Get reverse reverse psychology 'd son."
