‘99 here— I was 2.5 years old. I have no recollection. But I have had conversations with people a few months older and then younger than me who talk as if they remember it in vivid detail. I’ve had someone born in 2001 say the same. 🫠 No, hun, you’re remembering the years of seeing footage after the fact.

Same with my mum. She remembers it very vividly— she was feeding me while watching!
