Every year on October 3rd, fans of the beloved teen film “Mean Girls” commemorate “Mean Girls Day” by donning pink attire and indulging in cheese fries. This date holds special significance in the movie, as it features a memorable moment in which Cady Heron’s love interest, Aaron Samuels, inquires about the day during a math class, to which Cady responds, “It’s October 3rd.”
Since its launch two decades ago, “Mean Girls” has become a staple in pop culture, thanks to its witty script filled with memorable quotes and sharp insults. The film offers a perfect line for any scenario, whether it’s the iconic “You go, Glen Coco!” or “She doesn’t even go here!”
When picking up a friend, one might say, “Get in loser, we’re going shopping,” or if feeling unsure in a lunch line, “Whatever, I’m getting cheese fries” is a reliable go-to. Many may recognize the line delivered by Mrs. George, “I’m not like a regular mom, I’m a cool mom,” often quoted by mothers, albeit not always in front of their children’s friends.
