Being in jail is a “common, everyday thing” where you live? Holy moly.

I’ve never had a Twinkie. Those things just look gross.

Also have never had a Twinkie.

Never gotten a speeding ticket.  
Never tweeted.  
Never missed a class in college, unless I was legitimately ill, or had another good reason (I missed one sophomore year to work at the polls, but the prof. was OK with it). In other words, I never “skipped,” because it was a nice day, or I just didn’t feel like going. I had perfect attendance my freshman year.  
Never killed an ant with a magnifying glass.  
Never failed to finish all of an antibiotic.  
Never ate an Oreo or Wonder Bread as a kid (they weren’t kosher; they are now, and I’ve had them as an adult; I’m told they don’t taste the same).  
Never eaten any Hostess dessert product.  
Never been so drunk I passed out, blacked out, threw up, or had a hang-over.  
Never seen an episode of _Sex and the City_.  
Never seen anything with a Kardashian, and couldn’t tell one from the other.

Harry Potter and tweets are the only ones mentioned so far I haven’t done. I have seen Kardashians on the TV but I wouldn’t know one from the other. I’ve had a smartphone for years but only used my first app a few months ago when I lost the Roku remote. My list of things not commonly done would be much longer.

ETA: The iTunes thing was added while I typed, never done that either.
