I hated the fact that I always believed stuffing 5-7 sticks of that gum in my mouth would taste better this time than the last 200 times I tried it.

Growing up in Vermont, OPC cards really bugged me and I hated running across a card I wanted only to realize it was an OPC and not Topps.
Funny thing is, now I'm fond of OPC cards... |

Duplicate checklist cards. During the 70s and early 80s, even the first copy wasn’t much to look at, but once I had it and knew who was on it, opening a pack and seeing another one was a disappointment. No one ever wanted to trade for “Checklist 133-264”.

The gum.
And not being able to find a 1977 Walter Payton among the many packs I bought.

Patiently waiting for the new baseball or football release so I could collect players from my favorite teams, and then pulling them and they were head shots, or even worse head shots with airbrushed hats or jerseys or in the case of football helmets. Gee whiz.
Of course, I guess there is worse, I'll never forgive Topps for their 1973 Joe Rudi card, which of course isn't even Joe Rudi. |

I hated Twinkies. And because they came with cards starting in 1975, I ate way too many of them. I vividly remember one time buying a couple boxes, saving the cards and organizing a food fight in an alley behind a grocery store with the actual Twinkies. I was told that when the Twinkies reached their expiration date, they would be sent first to a store that sold old bread, then to pig farmers. The pigs, it turned out, didn't mind the Twinkies — or the boxes and cards, which they also devoured.
