A hilarious tweet about how the Scholastic Book Fair at school didn't quite inspire a love of reading has people sounding off about their own experiences as kids.

We haven't thought about the Scholastic Book Fair in ages.

The glitter pens, the range of posters from cars to kittens, scented erasers, diaries complete with lock and key.


Oh right, and books.

But a tweet about the book fair recently went viral, and the replies were so real we could practically smell the chocolate-scented calculators and raspberry erasers.

@adamgreattweet decided to shake the snowglobe of nearly-forgotten elementary school memories and tweeted:

"i’m sorry but the scholastic book fair did not inspire a love of reading it created my love of shopping"

Not a soul argued.

But they had oh so much to contribute.

First and foremost, people on social media wholeheartedly agreed with the X user's take.






Some, however, did point out that while the book fair did not inspire a love for reading, it did force a need to grasp basic computation and budgeting skills.

And others claimed they showed growth in areas other than reading all thanks to the Scholastic Book Fair.


Sadly for some, though, the tweet unlocked deflating core childhood memories.




A few users on X also shared their disappointment that today's kids will never know the feeling of squeezing every penny out of those crisp bills.

... and now our love for shopping all makes sense.

Vance Blasted After Making Gaslighting Claim About How Tariffs Are Actually Helping 'Average Americans'

Vice President JD Vance was quickly called out after he claimed in a Fox News interview focused on President Donald Trump's tariffs that tariffs will actually lead to "tax relief" for Americans.

Vance spoke as Trump continues to leave countries reeling over his chaotic tariff policies; he just announced, for example, yet another 90-day pause on sweeping tariffs on China. The Chinese government said they hope the move will lead to "positive outcomes" for China and the U.S.

Trump Sparks Concern After Repeatedly Confusing Alaska With Russia Ahead Of Putin Meeting

President Donald Trump turned heads on Monday after he repeatedly claimed he's going to "Russia" on Friday—very openly confusing the country with the state of Alaska, the actual location where he plans to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for a highly anticipated summit.

Trump made the mix-up during a press conference about crime in Washington, D.C., where he has already moved to federalize the police and deploy the National Guard, citing inflated crime statistics that compared D.C. to Baghdad and Brasilia.
