The famous quote that Forrest uses about life being like a box of chocolates is not completely original to the film or the adapted novel. It was used slightly differently in the British film The Likely Lads (1976) where the term used was 'the chocolate box of life'. The sentence in the movie is based on the very first sentence in the novel: "Let me say this: bein' an idiot is no box of chocolates".
