The Yellow Memory Vials

So I counted 6 yellow memory vials

The 6th yellow vial is the “reset” vial. Morty’s yellow and Rick’s is blue.

It’s highly probable that Rick’s is blue because deep down inside he wants to forget a lot of the things he did or he suffered.

But why is Morty’s yellow?

When they recovered from the memory wipe they had no idea who they were. They didn’t even know how old they were, they guessed their age range: “I think I am an adolescent boy” / “huh, and I am an elderly man”.

So what if the yellow color is caused by childhood memories? I mean the only way to get Morty back to normal would be to give all of his core memories back and since he is an adolescent, the vast majority of his memories are from his childhood and they turn the the vial yellow.

What about the other 5 yellow memory vials?

Could they be memories like this?

Of course if they are childhood memories Morty had of Rick it would even make sense in-universe considering this podcast that @loverickandmorty found:

Bryan Newton,  art director:

“Here’s another huge one that got wiped out- one of the original endings that they were playing around with…There was gonna be a deep Morty memory from when Morty was a baby, and that memory was gonna be with a young Rick, a young Summer–who would have been about 3 at the time– and a young Beth and Jerry. And it was basically gonna be Rick being there and consoling or talking to baby Morty and like ‘you’re gonna be my little Morty, Morty, you’re gonna be the best Morty ever, we’re gonna go on all types of adventures!’, and then Summer comes in and sees Rick, and Rick takes off through a portal, and then Beth and Jerry come in and are like ‘what’s going on, honey?’ and Summer’s like ‘the weird man showed up again!’…So it was gonna be a big thing where we see them all young and Rick being like the fuckin’ boogyman, keeping tabs on Morty.”

It ties in with the yellow vial we briefly saw on the cart - they had the intention to put in it so they added a yellow one on the cart but changed their mind. We see it on the cart around the 10 minute mark between Beebo and “granite”. The next time we see the cart this vial is missing.
