The Mandela effect is for people whose ego is so large that they believe that being catapulted into a parallel dimension without having noticed is a more plausible explanation than that they’re slightly wrong about something insignificant
I make an active choice to believe I got catapulted into another dimension because that’s more entertaining and interesting than being slightly wrong, thank you very much!
as much as I want to think it’s only ego, there’s absolutely no way SO many people independently of each other remember the fruit of the loom logo had a cornucopia
…granted there’s absolutely no way the solution to this conundrum is an alternate universe lmao
I’m with you on the cornucopia, there’s no way that logo didn’t exist somewhere.
Agent Smith, everybody.
I’d rather believe in unconscious interdimensional travel then accept that my memories might be wrong.
The dimensional jump did a number on my back and knees, too. And hairline.
We have to go back!
Oh god they got you too!
The bastards took our hair and switched out our ligaments!
Those sumbitches!
We have to go back!
But now you have a sick beard.
This blew my mind, at the time.
The cornucopia was there. I swear on my life I saw it.
I’m now convinced that there was a knock-off brand that posed as Fruit of the Loom for years with the altered logo. That’s the only explanation I’ll accept. Mandela effect my ass.
Think probably what happened is the packaging had the cornucopia on it and it was very large and obvious and now no one has a sealed pack of underwear from the 90s
That is literally how i learned what a cornucopia was. I asked my mom what fruit it was
I’m convinced that the Mandela effect is just self gaslighting. I don’t have any strong memories about any of these things, so when someone shows me one I think it’s right, then I have a hard time believing it’s not right. If I was shown the correct one first the Mandela effect wouldn’t exist for me.
It’s interesting that when you see them laid out like this you can more easily see the reasons people could have come to remember this way.
For instance, conflating Jif and Skippy as essentially the same product, or getting an association of missing letters from the “eat mor chik’n” cows ad campaign.
Agreed, also by putting so many together like this, you’re gonna have some people who don’t remember it that way. Like the Monopoly guy is half-convincing to me, but I’m pretty sure it’s just a mix-up with Mr. Peanut.
All of the one where the spelling is wrong make sense, because people were projecting familiar versions of those words that made sense. Also Monkeys have tails—they gave him a design more reminiscent of a monkey than an ape, so people expect a tail
My personal reason for messing up Chick Fil A in my head is because there used to be a different chicken restaurant chain where I grew up called Krispy Chic. Not sure if any are still open, but all the ones in aware of closed down decades ago.
Wait until people watch old shows from the 90s set in NYC, and there’s these two buildings in the skyline. But when you go to NYC, those buildings DON’T EVEN EXIST!!!
Its almost as if these companies keep altering their logos because that would be insane.
Froot Loops has always been that way. Back when I was a kid, they only had three colours - red, orange, and yellow - and I remember being bothered that they had to repeat one of them. Problem got solved when they rolled out green.
Blue and purple must have rocked your world.
I hate this stupid-english product naming scheme so much
At this point I’m convinced it’s corporate gaslighting. They KNOW there wasn’t consistency because of franchisees, misprints, brand changes, inattentive advertising firms, mistranslations, knocknoffs, and different production lines hitting different specs. But do they own up to it? Nooooo. Apparently the collective society at large just “remembers” it wrong.
I give up, what’s the difference between the two Chick-fil-A?
k
Just the spelling: Chic-fil-A vs. Chick-fil-A.
I have specific memories of how the spelling of Chic-fil-a looked so wierd to me, especially at a mall where the word chic actually gets used.
Me too… Plus Google would correct to chic .
Isn’t Jiffy a brand of quickbake mixes? In the little blue boxes
This one is a brand of peanut butter, I believe.
It wasn’t Chic-fil-a it was Chik-fil-A I am From Atlanta
Looney “Toons” is the stupidest one.
It was always a pun on toons by spelling it “Tunes” and because music is extremely prominent for it.
Especially in the early ones; they were basically ads to sell music from the Warner music catalog.
Missed opportunity for fruit of the loin
