And just like that, an iconic quote was birthed! The day has since become a time for fans to celebrate the memorable moments from the film, making it a perfect occasion to gather friends, don some pink attire, and watch the hilarious antics of everyone’s favourite Plastics.

And while you’re at it, take a moment to appreciate the cultural phenomenon "Mean Girls" has become since its release in 2004. Not only did it give the world a sharp script penned by Tina Fey, but it also showcased the high school experience that resonates with many. To top it off, did you know that the film was inspired by Rosalind Wiseman's 2002 nonfiction book "Queen Bees and Wannabes," which discusses the social cliques among teenage girls? This cultural commentary is what helps keep "Mean Girls" relevant even after two decades!

As the mean green machine of nostalgia continues to roll on, here’s another interesting tidbit: the film's fashion choices and catchphrases still influence pop culture today—like the rise of “Mean Girls” themed merchandise and even Halloween costumes! The lasting legacy of this film proves that even in the outrageous world of high school politics, words—and witty one-liners—can stand the test of time! So, whether you're quoting lines or simply enjoying a pink cocktail with friends, cheers to October 3rd, and to the unforgettable legacy of "Mean Girls!"
