Life is so much simpler when you're a kid; you don't have to worry about bills, your body isn't failing on you in every possible way, and your food is always made for you by your parents. It's pretty great.
Thing is though, because we had it so easy, the smallest things would just absolutely ruin our day and turn us into crying messes. Here's just a few things that, in retrospect, probably weren't worth getting upset over.
Waiting for your sibling to die so you could have the freaking controller
When you walked into the school gym and saw the ropes hanging from the ceiling
When your Happy Meal was missing a toy
When these bastards failed at their job and just tore up the paper, or left it a blurry mess
Discovering that the anti-skip feature was a total lie
These next few used to absolutely crush us...
Going to rent the new movie or game you were stoked about, only to find out all the copies were already gone
Getting stuck with a coconut Freezie
When it took literal minutes to connect to the internet
When your parents manage to always trip on your controller cables (just look where you're walking, mom!)
Forgetting your money on Book Fair day
When the batteries died just as you were about to beat your high score
And finally, these mofos only having two possible temperatures; frozen, and molten lava

Just breathe in that sweet aroma...YouTubeOh man! This slimy, weird "toy" was all the rage, but can you remember what it smelled like? Especially after it fell behind
Candy is candy, which means it's mostly sugar, which means that it's nothing less than amazingly delicious. So, it never matters how it was made, only that it's been approved somehow and you can ingest it until you've had enough.Here are 10 candies that made absolutely no sense to you when you were a kid, but you ate them anyway. 1. We all wondered why there were two wrappers around the delicious White Rabbit candies, but we soon found out that the thin white paper is edible. Mind-blowing. Walmart2. What kind of sorcery was this? Hubba Bubba made some
One of the hardest things about growing up is saying goodbye to old friends.Whether you grow apart over time, or they're taken away from you too soon, we look back on the ones we once held dear and wish we could just see them one last time. Coincidentally, that's also how we feel about these 17 fast food menu items that were discontinued way too soon. How many of them do you remember?1.
