You would be amazed by the things your brain retains. It could be a huge, life changing moment or a small, menial detail about an evening out with friends. They say children remember everything and boy is that true. Most of the time we aren't even cognizant of the things we can recall. Most of the time memories will come back in a flash during a moment that will surprise us.

Which is when you can't help but think.. "Damn. How do I remember that?" Unfortunately there are a few things I'm sure we'd all love to forget. It helps though when the things we were trained and programmed to remember come flooding back. We were too scared to forget.

Redditor RaeADropOfGoldenSun asked people to discuss... What's something that you memorized as a kid and will stick in your brain forever? The brain is an astonishing piece of equipment.

If only she had needed 8...

When I was 5 my mum took me to town and asked me to remind her that she needed 9 buttons. I remembered and reminded her and continued to remind her every time she went to town until I realised she didn't need to get them every time.

It became a bit of a joke as I got older, but I'll never forget those 9 buttons.

My childhood home phone number.

I can probably recite my 2nd grade best friend's home phone number faster than I can recite my own current cell number.

I memorized how to spell "antidisestablishmentarianism" when I was like 8 because I read that it was the longest word in English and I wanted to seem smart. I was an annoying kid.

We had to learn the Animaniac's states and capitals song. I can still sing 90% of it.

only morse code i know, thought if ever I/m interviewed on the tele i could blink this out. I've never been interviewed on the tele. Tend to use it now when out with my other half at social functions, she finds it funny & irritating in nearly equal measures.

Dude, where's my house?

My mom made a song out of our address and phone number when I was about 4-5 years old so that I could tell someone if I were ever lost. I still remember it over 20 years later.

slowamongroses

I remember doing this as a young child. Don't have that phone number any more but no doubt it's the only one I'll remember when I'm old and demented.

If only that was the case.

Companies That Shamelessly Make Terrible Products

Be it for clothes, household appliances, or food, sometimes you know you can be one hundred percent confident with certain brands or companies when shopping that you will be getting a quality product.

Unfortunately, this goes both ways.

Some companies have a reputation for exclusively selling and manufacturing low-quality products.

One would think that these companies might reflect on poor sales and bad customer feedback, and attempt to improve their brand with each passing year.

Unfortunately, even if they still get items on the shelf, reviews on Amazon and elsewhere still seem to remain at two stars or less.
