Everyone has a take when it comes to the age-old were they/weren't they. We're talking, of course, about Ross and Rachel - and whether they were or weren't on a break (and whether it was acceptable or wasn't unacceptable that one of them - ahem, Ross - wound up in bed with someone less than 24 hours (!) after they went their separate ways). Anyhow, now there's finally a way to sort Team Ross from Team Rachel. Friends merch has arrived! Could we be more excited?
Jennifer Aniston posted a picture on Instagram, stating her allegiance for the record: 'We were SO not on a break.' But fear not if you disagree, Team Ross, there's also a sweatshirt with the words, 'We were on a break!'
According to Lisa Kudrow's Instagram, this collection is one of three limited-edition drops featuring highlights from seasons one to three. And boy will it make you feel nostalgic for Central Perk, Smelly Cat, Phoebe's lobster love theory and our six favourite friends. There's a pink tee with a confused-looking Rachel, and the words, 'Who's FICA?' If you don't remember that particular episode, Rachel had received her first waitressing pay cheque - a seminal moment in any twenty-something's life - when glee quickly turned to gloom as she's confronted with the buzzkill that is tax.

The epic moment when Joey wears everything Chandler owns and goes commando (I better not do any, I don't know, lunges!') has also been immortalised on a burgundy sweatshirt: 'Could I BE wearing any more clothes?' But if you like your catchphrases short and sweet, the purple hoodie with Monica's infamously high-pitched, 'I know!' is a winner. (Half of Aniston's proceeds will be going towards Americares, an organisation working to provide relief, mental health care, and medical aid to communities and individuals affected by Covid-19.)
