You know, since we grew up, we had not really had the chance to encounter a kids' movie that threw us straight back to our childhood. The kind of movie that makes you stop and reflect upon your life and the wonderful things that made it so. But when Inside Out came out, we had our first opportunity as a generation to experience that and those core memories that we learned off are one of the most special moments to hit the silver screen in the last 10 years if not more.

So we wanted to run with that idea and take a look at some of our shared core memories that all millennials have. The stuff that binds us as a generation and a group of people who experienced the same period of time in life. So without further delay we present you with this list to rediscover some of your core childhood memories.

  • Whether you loved it or hated it (and lets face it you likely hated it), this is a memory that will not leave us anytime soon. Like honestly, how is it that no one at the time looked at these sad trays and said to themselves ‘Kids really should not be eating from the same trays that prisoners do, they deserve more hope than that in their lives’.

  • No matter who you were these two young ladies were a central part of your childhood in the 90s. Hilary was our best friend and took us on the most wholesome adventures with Gordo, who lets face it really deserved better than to not have his love for Hilary met. And Amanda showed us that you can be the popular girl while being a bit different. That being yourself is the most important thing there is.
