How F.R.I.E.N.D.S Changed Us Forever

1. The Way We Drink Coffee

Few television shows have defined our generation like 'F.R.I.E.N.D.S.'. The spillover from reel to real continues to manifest itself in the manner we speak, the way we dress and the habits we've picked up. Here are just six little ways in which the show changed our lives forever...

Thanks to Central Perk, coffee shops were no longer the place you stopped by for a quick cup of filter but instead, areas where you worked, found love and hung out with your buddies. Barista and Cafe Coffee Day were the first chains in India to benefit from the fad F.R.I.E.N.D.S. began and now there are innumerable outlets fighting to be your numero uno coffee destination.

2. The Way We Dress

From the haircut popularly known as 'The Rachel' to the high-waisted jeans to crop tops, F.R.I.E.N.D.S.-inspired fashion continues to make a revival every few years

3. The Way We Flirt With Women (And In Some Cases, Even With Men!)

Enough said.

4. The Way We Watch TV

American television has truly come a long way but give us a F.R.I.E.N.D.S. rerun marathon and we'd instantly discard the new for the old (you know it's true)

5. The Way We Use Sarcasm

Chandler Bing (Matthew Perry) was singularly responsible for educating us in the fine art of sarcasm - erstwhile, a life skill that never got the due it deserved.

6. The Way We Treat Our Friends

Rich or poor, fat or thin, hot or not, F.R.I.E.N.D.S. taught us that every buddy you make goes a long way in enriching you as a person and that you'll do well by treating them right.
