She has found what works for her. Maybe she just cried and screamed for 5-10 minutes at first and when that didn't work the next time she added the kicking and pinching and tagged on another 5-10 minutes. When that didn't work after awhile she added the vomit and some more serious screaming for another 10-15 minutes.
Now she is a complete tantrum thrower and it lasts for 30+ minutes. HOWEVER....in the end....she still got what she wanted.
So, essentially, you have taught her to just keep on going no matter how long it takes.
It will take lots of nerve, willpower, and calm-headedness to overcome but you will have to ignore and clean-up silently and NOT give in. Pretty soon she will try it for 30 minutes and give up, then 20 minutes and give up, then 10 minutes and give up until finally she realizes that you actually mean what you say and will stop it altogether.
Good Luck!
