s01e01 Ross: I'll have whatever Christina's having

  Who is Christina? And why the line about having the same thing as Christina is funny? Guys are back at Monica's apartment watching show in Spanish language. None of friends seem to understand Spanish. So the guys are having fun making up the ridiculous translation of show's emotional scenes. Chandler: Tuna or egg salad? Decide! Ross: I'll have whatever Christina's having.

s01e01 Ross: Split it?

Is splitting Oreo a thing for Americans? Monica has just gone to bed. Ross and Rachel  are left together  for the first time in a history of the show. Between then there is a dish on the table with only one Oreo cookie left. Ross and Rachel reach for that cookie at one and the same moment. But as each of them realizes that the other wants this cookie, both retreat, leaving the sweet treat to another. Ross: Split it? Rachel: Okay. Is splitting cookies a thing in America?

s01e01 Rachel: Sweet'N'Low?

What is Sweet’n’Low? Rachel is telling her run-away-from-the-wedding story, when a waitress brings her coffee. Rachel pauses the story to ask waitress for some artificial sweetener. Rachel: "Sweet N Low?" The joke seems to be quite translatable, if you know that Sweet’N’Low is a sugar substitute. But I kept sensing something extra about it. So I dug into my research and it appeared that the tiny pink baggie hides a whole arc of Rachel's character. Get yourself ready for a story here!
