Chocolate-Frosted Sugar Bombs: One of the questions is "Did your mom and dad forget to buy your kind of cereal, so you had to eat 'grown-up' cereal?" The favorite cereal (which currently provides that trope's page image) is labeled "Chocolate Frosted Honey-Glazed Pre-Sweetened Marshmallow Nodules" and comes in a colorful box with a picture of a hyperactive, swirly-eyed kid on the front.

Friendly Tickle Torture: This is revealed to be the "worst" reason for being grumpy, being made to laugh while trying to be grumpy, until you forget why you were grumpy in the first place, complete with an image of a little girl being playfully tickled on her feet.
