here I go... 60 years later.... still whining about it...
a cotton candy machine. I got one when I was a kid but when I opened it xmas morning it wouldn't work and mom couldn't find another one. My brother teased me that he'd opened it before xmas and used it and the cc was delicious. Now, I know he was just messing w/ me but... Clearly

I never got over it. 'Adult Santa' BROUGHT me a huge amusement park style machine years later, but that childhood incident scarred me for life.
eta: and I know I must really be scarred because I jusgt found this same post almost word for word in a 2009 thread (The one thing you didn't get). Poor Purple
