This is kind of like the whole first world problem things, but the point of this thread is to talk about something that happened during your childhood that annoyed you. It can be something embarrassing, annoying, etc. Nothing too serious--save that for EoEo.
I'll start. When I was a kid, they had a snack called Grizzly Chomps. The whole I idea was that there was a bite already taken out of the product, which was a cupcake, and it is your RADICAL job to finish the snack.

Anyway, my mom bought them because they were on sale, and I dreaded taking them to the lunchroom back when I was in elementary school. There is a reason why this snack didn't last very long. Because even us stupid kids can see what a rip-off this product was on all fronts. Yes, even if they were on sale.
Of course, I got all sorts of grief that day about how my family must be poor and/or how my parents are stupid for buying it.
So yeah, tell a story like that.
