Today, my mom bought me some expensive Japanese candy. I opened it, and saw that each chewy candy was wrapped in a thin, hard to peel off wrapper. After trying to get each wrapper off, I determined they were unopen-able and threw them away. I then read the box, saying the wrappers were edible. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had a hotdog. I thought the skin was a bit tough but ate it anyway. After reading the packaging later I found out that each hotdog has an individual plastic wrapper. I ate plastic. FML
Today, I came across some bubble wrap. Turned out it was a special type of bubble wrap that cannot be popped. FML
Today, I got my mom (who is a diabetic) a set of sugar-free chocolates for Mother's Day. Everything was fine on that day, and my mom decided to share them since I bought a good sized box. I was perfectly fine, but my mom had explosive diarrhea for the rest of the day. I'll never buy THOSE again. FML
Today, I ate what was supposed to be a delicious mini powdered donut. The first one tasted funny, so I pulled out another one and realized that the powdered sugar was now in fact powdered hairy mold. Then I looked at the package and realized it was over a year and a half old. FML
Today, I bought a box of Fruit Loops. When I got home, I noticed a free prize would be in the box. I sifted through the box, looking for the small toy. It wasn't in there. I don't know what is more sad, the fact that I got ripped off by a children's cereal or that I'm 21 and upset by it. FML
Today, I was celebrating my birthday when my friend gave me chocolate as a gift. I wasn't suspecting anything and ate about half of it before I noticed something strange. It turned out there were some kind of worms living in it and the chocolate was about a year after the expiration date. I got sick. FML
Today, my mother bought me some "biodegradable" tissues. Indeed, they melted… in my hand. FML
Today, my mom told me she’d never forgive me for eating her birthday candy. I ate it in my sleep. FML
Today, I visited my grandma. She offered me some chips in a Ziploc bag. I thought they were sour cream and onion chips from the look of them. They tasted funny, but I didn't want to be rude and I kept eating. I looked closer after a while and noticed that what I thought were chives was actually mold. FML
Today, I learned the horrifying implications of my memory not being what it used to be when I bought a tasty-looking chocolate bar, only to realize upon taking a bite that I'd bought one before and not liked it one bit. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

it's funny how everyone is saying read the label when I'm pretty sure none of u dumbasses do it yourself so get off the op's nuts

I'd have to disagree. Most people will check the label AFTER they can't figure it out and BEFORE they throw the item away. The OP has proven that she will not do so until AFTER she's mystified and AFTER she throws the item away. Mostly because she's an idiot.

you guys do know that there is more than one kind of Japanese candy with rice paper right? I like how we all assumed it was the cheap kind you get in the grocery store.

seeing as how there ARE more than one kind, unless you SPECIFICALLY go to Japan, OR go online to order them 99% of the time, it's going to be the cheap "supermarket" kind. That being said, there is NO "expensive" Japanese candy. Trust me. I'm Japanese. I know.

OP specifically said they were expensive. More than likely that means it was NOT the cheap kind, and was instead something that their mother bought offline, or in japan. And while the candy might not be too expensive, if it was bought online shipping might have cost an assload.

Wow dude, FYL. No, seriously...your life ******* sucks. I'm just impressed you're still willing to live life, day by day, toughing it out after having gone through such a horrible, traumatizing experience.
