Millennials are probably some of the most hated people on the planet. We get blamed for pretty much everything. Talk to any boomer and they'll tell you that we're a bunch of lazy, self-obsessed failures that are going to ruin society. But that's not really fair. We were handed a pretty bad hand of cards. By the time we grew up, the planet's environment was already screwed, we had racked up thousands of dollars in student debt, and housing prices were way too high for us to be anything but "generation rent." And to add insult to injury, the only place that's hiring is Starbucks. Part-time.
But hey, it's not all bad. We had a pretty amazing childhood. We got to experience the golden age - the early 2000's. This was a time when the future seemed bright. New technology was coming out, the internet became mainstream, and the whole world seemed to be right at our fingertips. There are so many good memories from this amazing time. And we'll never get to go back... But there is one way you can relive your experiences in the 2000's. Take this quiz! It'll run through all the things you'll have no trouble remembering... But only if you're a true millennial.

It's not popular anymore, but back in the day it was all the rage. But do you remember what it was for?
What Do Millennials Love To Put On Their Toast?
For many years now, the boomers have been complaining all about millennials. They say millennials are lazy, and the fact that they're so poor and in so much debt is not due to changing economic conditions, but a lack of perseverance and work ethic. Millennials hit back, calling Boomers "entitled" and lucky to have lived during a time when housing was cheap and well-paying jobs were easy to come by. Boomers say Millennials would be owning houses if it weren't for our love a certain food we love to put on our toast. But what is this food?
