An example of a flashbang:
Anon1: Do real kids actually not like broccoli?
Anon2: I was poor so we had nothing but microwave shit and ramen. I didn't try broccoli until I was in JR high and I was so surprised at how good it tasted. My friends mom had made broccoli and cheese. I ate about 3 servings and told her how it was my first time to try it. I told them how cartoons always told me it would taste so bad. >>I wish I could have fucked my friend's mom.<<
