New gripe! In TOWT Chicken Pox Phoebe tells the gang that she met Charlie sheens character when,he threw salt water taffy into her case when she was busking. She also wrote a song called Salt Water Taffy Man. But in a much later episode Ross gives her a piece of said taffy and she acts like she never tried it or heard of it!
![]() 2 things annoy me about that episode - Phoebe and charlie are in Monica's Apartment, surely Phoebe could go to her own place - Charlie comes out of the bathroom still wearing his oven Gloves saying 'well that wasn't easy' meaning that he had to go to the toilet without taking those off?? (YUCK!!!!) |

Besides, they did continue the joke by having the guys go to the bank to close their accounts but a similar thing occurred where they brought out an attractive woman to deal with the matter and they ended up with a joint account! |

In TOWT Flashbacks, Season 3, Janice has a question - who of the 6 of you has slept with the 6 of you. Ross answers, that's easy to answer, none of us.
Erm, Ross, Rachel is sitting on your lap and you are most definitely sleeping together! His answer made no sense! |

Chandler & Rachel have met for the first time at least 3 or 4 times
- In 1987 when Chandler went to Ross & Monica's house for thanksgiving and Rachel was there (where Monica overheard him calling her fat) - I don't know the year it was set but as mentioned above where Rachel is engaged to Barry and she wants to have one last fling so fantasises about Chandler who she met in the pre-Central Perk coffee shop when it was just a bar and Chandler throws the pool ball in her direction - In the 1st episode/pilot episode where Rachel runs into Central Perk in her wedding dress - (I'm not sure on this one) where Rachel and Monica attend Ross & Chandler's college party in either 1987 or 1988. I can't remember if Rachel is yet again introduced to Chandler in this scene though |

Maybe Ross knew that Janice wasn't talking about him and Rachel. Janice very obviously knew that they were together

As much as I suspect it's poor continuity at best and the writers sacrificing accuracy for humorous storylines at worst, I don't really get too bothered.
I actually agree with the above, the previous meetings were fleeting and many years ago, so it could just be a case they forgot due to being self involved, scatty or simply the fact it wasn't that big a deal each time. I think it holds up. If I see a friend for a birthday each year, it's likely the same mutual guests/friends may attend each year. Some may miss a few events over the years, so would only attend every other year or so,. If I was introduced by the birthday boy to one of his other friends, we may make small talk throughout the evening but that would be that. This could happen with numerous people through the event. I'm not certain they would be expected to remember that a year or two later and I'm not sure I would remember each and every person I was ever introduced to at random one off events. |

how would she forget that-then kissing him at his college |
