When it comes to fan theories, I'm typically pretty skeptical.
Don't get me wrong, I can appreciate them, but I always find myself picking them apart and doing everything I can to prove them wrong.
And then I came across this Friends fan theory, and wow. I think this is one of the very few that I'm having a really hard time finding flaws with!
And out of all of the storylines, the one about Chandler and Monica trying to get pregnant definitely ranks under most memorable.
They were selected by Erika, who ended up giving birth to twins, an event which casually made for one of the greatest plot twists in a series finale ever.
Buckle up, kids.
According to their doctor, Chandler's sperm had "low motility," while Monica's uterus was an "inhospitable environment."
It was a big blow to Monica, who was the perfect host, thank you very much!
So, don't even think about coming for me in the comments about Monica's inhospitable uterus, because we know.
This theory comes from Reddit user cheeky_and_geeky, who suggests that we can link Monica's inability to have children to one fateful episode: "The One with the List."
Ross...you suck, my dude.
Remember Mockolate, guys?
It was that crumbly chocolate alternative that not only tasted awful, but was also potentially dangerous.
Better than chocolate? Okay, this should've been a red flag immediately — a total sleezy salesman pitch.
And we found out quickly that it was the worst-tasting thing imaginable!
Uhh....
A pumpkin pie with a Mockolate cookie crumb crust, Mockolate cranberry cake, and Mockolate chip cookies.
It honestly looked like she would have been happier eating that napkin.
And notice how Rachel and Phoebe spit the chocolate out?
I mean, if she could stomach Rachel's trifle, who's to say?
Because science, of course.
"Uh, listen, you didn't eat a lot of it while you were cooking, did you?" pried Mr. Rastatter.
"Well, uh, I ate some," answered Monica.
Just before Monica left the room, Mr. Rastatter went in for one last query: "So, it doesn't burn when you pee, does it?"
"They taste exactly like pistachios but are made primarily of reconstituted fish bits," explained Mr. Rastatter.
When she replies "cat hair," he takes back the Fish-tachios, saying, "Never mind."
Whether it could affect a woman's fertility is another matter.
Still, we can't help but feel relieved that Monica didn't take that second opportunity with the same company.
To which he replies, "It's like I'm looking in a mirror."
Yes, clearly.
It's an interesting theory, but a wild one.
And as much as we love a wild theory, we know the difference between a plausible argument and an interesting idea.
