Once bought a single popsicle at the grocery store (the strawberries and cream Mexican kind, yum) and ate it while walking through Harold Washington Park on the lake in Chicago in summer. A small child saw me and said with eyes like saucers, "Dad, *I* want a popsicle!" Adulthood never felt so good.
There is no adult purchase less satisfying than new tires.
