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.
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.
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.
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 aunt is a great believer in the Mandela effect and she insists LEGO used to be spelled leggo. My mom thinks she has it confused with the TV commercials saying “le’ggo my eggo”
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!!!
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
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.
A plausible theory I saw on the cornucopia is that some knockoff brand used it and the knockoff brand had poorer quality clothes and so none of it is around anymore
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!
Agent Smith, everybody.
The human brain has a tendency to see what it expects to see. That’s why most people don’t notice I’ve been deliberately misspelling Untied States for over a year. The brain just assumes it says what they expect it to say
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.
That is literally how i learned what a cornucopia was. I asked my mom what fruit it was
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
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.
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.
Isn’t Jiffy a brand of quickbake mixes? In the little blue boxes
This one is a brand of peanut butter, I believe.
The right one is correct
I wonder how much they’re paying you to say that.
Tree fiddy
Except for a few
Like the cornucopia. Indisputable we jumped timelines on that one.
Whats wrong with the febreeze one? They did used to use those bottles, right? I’m pretty sure I have one around somewhere.
The man would have you believe it’s always been Febreze, one e.
Wtf I hate this timeline
Missed opportunity for fruit of the loin
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.
My aunt tried to “prove” the Mandela effect to me by asking how I remember the spelling of KitKat. I misremembered it with a hyphen. What she fails to understand is it proves nothing to me because I never claimed to have perfect memory
Its almost as if these companies keep altering their logos because that would be insane.
In my universe it was “Loony”, not “Looney”. There is no e dammit!
