I had never heard of The Last Unicorn until I met my husband. It was his favorite movie! He made me watch it. Seeing it for the first time as a 28 year old was weird.

Candy: Fun Dip, Nerds, and Twix

Character/Hero: Barbie or My Little Ponies. All of my Barbies had serious careers, and no time for Ken. The ponies? Eh, sometimes I just wanted to be a cute horse with pretty hair.

The mermaid thing...we did that too. And the part where Ariel comes out of the water on the rock with the big wave at the end of "Part of Your World"...that was practiced to perfection.

This is a classic combo!  The thought of dipping my grilled cheese in clam chowder makes me nauseous.
