On the TV show Friends, it's a long-running, often-referenced joke that one of the main characters was extremely overweight all through high school. They show her in flashbacks and by early 90s standards she's huge.... By today's standards she's average, and that's really no exaggeration. Sometimes I'll catch a rerun at night and it's sobering to see real evidence of how far things have gone in 30 years.
College kids love Friends these days.... Wonder how they feel when "Fat Monica" looks exactly like them and all of their friends
