Some of my earliest memories are from epic tantrums. Looking back, some were triggered by events that still enrage me (Dad taking my puppy to be put down because it peed on the rug) and others that are straight from toddlerville (I don't WANT mommy and daddy to go away for three hours on date night). Either way they were so emotionally intense that they still burn. Here's what stopped them: I realized that they didn't work. If they worked I wouldn't have stopped. That's my theory for these incidents. These people grew up without learning that tantrums don't work ... because for them they did work.
