What’s the worst thing you’ve made?

Basically everything I've done in my younger, angstier years. I had such a bad attitude as a teen and young adult, just always trying to be different, edgy, impressive, etc. Never really was myself, or even knew what I was about.
 
Happy Tree friends fanfics and art when I was 10. Lots of it focused on shipping the characters and romance even though I knew nothing about relationships. I was the only dude in the community. One of my stories made the front page of a long-gone site, though. Glad that it all got scrubbed off the internet. How embarrassing.
 
I'm sure there was a reason for this particular life decision but at some point in my high school just-barely-learning-to-cook-things stage I decided it would be a fun idea to make breaded chicken breasts where the standard breading was replaced with smashed-up Crunch Berries. It was actually much worse than it sounds, if at all possible.
At this point I was still pretty afraid of Jack Scalfani'ing the chicken and making it raw on the inside so I tended to overcook the hell out of things, so the chicken breast was really dry. I also cooked it on a sheet pan in the oven and didn't flip it at any point so the breading was only crispy on one side, and the other side was wet chickeny crunchberry mush.

I've made Captain Crunch (non-berry!) tendies since then and they've turned out far better.
