I must admit, some of the fake ones look right to me. I don’t get how people misremember the spelling of Froot Loops though. How do you not remember the extra Os made of froot loops?
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.
Yeah i remember it so clearly
The ending of lost was so amazing
My two acceptable hypotheses:
- We are in a simulation and these are remnants from server migration/discrepancies in the instances.
- These are dry runs of the man seeing what history they can get away with rewriting and convince us was true.
No. I cannot create false memories. Nope. I can’t do it. I won’t listen to you. It’s not true! Nonononononononooooooooooooooooooooo! This isn’t my fault! 👉😫👈 lalalalalala

No no no, you’re not buying extra crunchy peanut butter
Don worry I’ll hire my crow friends to get the peanuts.
I see you’ve read my recent post on “The Crow”
The worst fucking lie they made up was the pronunciation of GIF being based on the peanut butter company. That is exactly the sort of bullshit excuse a shadowy cabal looking to rewrite history would come up with to gaslight everyone into believing it’s true.
I love that pretty much everyone says the creator of the gif format is saying his format name wrong.
Just because the guy is good at tech doesn’t mean he’s good at naming things.
I’d like to site the names of like… Half the FOSS software I see.
Yeah, we devs and computer people aren’t good at names. Half the time the name is the acronym of what it is/does RAM, CPU, GPU… Othertimes its something the Dev thought would be cool.
He’s a crisis actor, I don’t buy it!
The flip side of this that that you can be lied to without consequence. I’m not saying most of these are real, but pretending like this has never happened is asking for an additional serving of boot.
Motherfuckers… is this why i’ve been remembering shit that other people say never happened? or remembering something people said and then them saying they said something different? wait i recently saw a movie about some guy trying to break out of his reality by flying a rocket to the edge of the universe and has been dimension hoping the entire trip, this is trippy…
Edit: i can’t find the name of the movie but the plot is as described and he realises he is dimension hoping because his partner is suddenly alive after he killed him or he died in an accident on the ship, can’t remember what happened and at the end he also realises he is in a loop and after he crashes into the edge he chooses the dimension in which he never went into space and escapes the loop, anyone have an idea of what the movie might be called or am i just trippin balls and that movie doesn’t exist in this dimension?
is this why i’ve been remembering shit that other people say never happened? or remembering something people said and then them saying they said something different?
I mean, if you want the real answer, it’s just that it is incredibly easy to create false memories. Then add in all the social pressure fun that can warp your viewpoint, and you’re off to the races.
ANy other info? New film? Old? Any notable actors? US film or from elsewhere? I dug around, but nothing I could find in ten minutes fit your description. Am interested in knowing too as I love these types of films.
Goddamn it took some specific digging but i found it, it’s called “Beyond the Edge” (2016).
Nice find! Rated 3.6/10 on imdb. Is it really that bad? Meh, I’ll watch it anyways.
Edit: Alternate title is “ISRA 88”. Adrienne Barbeau has a bit part in it. The film is a bit middling, but maybe not 3.6. Maybe a 4.5/10.
God dammit it happened again!
I have no idea, but it sounds like an interesting premise.
Found it, it’s called “Beyond the Edge” (2016).
Alternative title is “ISRA 88”. Just watched it. It’s interesting, but a little clunky. Maybe not as bad as the 3.6/10, but I feel it misses the mark. They didn’t make the alternate realities portion of the story as compelling (or real) as they could’ve. It could be a stage play with how low-tech the sets/environment are, but I can overlook that, so nbd. Just didn’t have enough oomph. ;)
Oh, and Adrienne Barbeau is in it!
Plot twist: ur the main chrctr
I always suspected as much.
Found some more pixels
You’re a hero. Now I can be upset about Frebreeze too.
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
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 panel on the right is in fact right, the weird logo stuff bothers me because.
- who cares ?
- counterfeit/fakes exist
- misprints
- actual logo changes
The typos? You better believe it, you read that wrong, but see point 3 as well.
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
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’m with you on the cornucopia, there’s no way that logo didn’t exist somewhere.
Also keep in mind that nowadays we live in an age where something as insignificant as a logo change becomes headline news.
It’s entirely possible the company ran some market analysis and discreetly changed the logo a few decades ago. Maybe a shirt still exists out there with that logo, but it’s hard to find since cheap t-shirts and underwear don’t last as long as something like tailored vintage clothing. I’m sure if you spend enough time searching on the internet you might find something, but personally I cannae be arsed
Agent Smith, everybody.
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
Literally the same for me, except it was my father. Not that I believe the Mandela effect per se, but I really wish I had a proper explanation for that one.
maybe your father is his mother in an alternate house
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
Years ago, after 57 Chevies became the iconic representation of the 50s, and got REAL popular, I read about how there were far more 57 Chevies around than could be accounted for by official production.
It turns out that there were:
A dedicated group of ex-Chevrolet stylists and franchised used-car salesmen continued to turn out close to 200,000 1957 Chevrolets, focusing on the 2-door Bel-Air model, between the years 1957 and 1967, in a small auto assembly plant located outside Jacksonville, Ill.
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.
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”
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
If you’re of a certain age, you can’t get Oscar Mayer wrong.
My bologna has a first name. It’s O-S-C-A-R. My bologna has a second name. It’s M-A-Y-E-R. Oscar Mayer has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A
100%, this wasn’t one I remembered differently.
nope, Fruit of the loom got me, i had seen the monopoly and curious george ones had no tail, but they knocked me for a loop a decade ago, Looney Toons was kind of shadowy in my mind, toones makes more sense, but the “merry melodies” moniker muddled the water, we brain cells. I always called the bears by what sounds like the first one, but i always knew it wasn’t spelled that way, i remmeber reading the books when I was young and my parents corrected the pronoinciation on me. I went with it because … ‘english’ but i always knew it wasn’t spelled like we said it, we don’t genrally promounce february and wednesday very well so who was 5 year old me to argue with an adult that would smack my ass for being argumentative. :)
Ah yes, the Minglebingle Effect
That’s Mandella, you’re thinking of the bounty hunter that hangs with grogu
That’s Mandalorian. You’re thinking about the band that backed up Mike when he sang the 1980s hit song “All I need is a miracle”
That’s the Mechanics. You’re thinking about a tomato based sauce with herbs
That’s marinara. You’re thinking of the Canadian province to the west of Ontario.
That’s Manitoba. You’re thinking of a person who is not loyal to their own country or political party because they are under the control or influence of another country or party.
That’s manchurian. You’re thinking of the largest, strongest and only movable bone in the human face.
That’s mandible. You’re thinking of the chains that go around the hands and feet of prisoners.
That’s mandible. You’re thinking of a two player board game where people take turns moving beads around small holes to capture one another’s pieces.
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!!!
Thar reminds me how I misread “Disney” as “Disnep” in their cursive logo for a long time in my childhood. Does that mean there is a Disnep dimension out there? :P
Gisnep
Yes, that branched new timelines where Disnep owns everything, etc. It’s pretty basic science.
I joke that it can be read as disneyp because of the fucking cursive too
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’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
This looks like one of those ADHD tests I took. I failed them…found like one or two differences but they all look the same to me. I’m not American though
The Pikachu one might been an influence from the Pichu design.
Nah, the bootleg merch we got in the post-Soviet countries had the black tail tip long before Pichu was a thing.
…or DID it…?
Its actually just due to old Pokemon cards and early merch. Early pokemon merch and card art were not accurate to the game.
It was proven that both designs of Pikachu were used back in the 90s. Along with a few other designs that people have just forgotten about.
Pokemon where not nearly as fixed in design back in the 90s as they are today.

If you’re gonna post shit like this, at least make a list for those of us who are dyslexic or neurodivergent or too damn lazy…
Left hand is what people “remember” right hand is actual reality.
Anyone who remembered it as “Looney Toons” and not “Looney Tunes” apparently missed the “Merrie Melodies” as well.
I dunno, so many of these I remember them as they actually exist.
And Silly Symphonies!
Looney Tunes was called Looney Tunes because they we cartoons that had nothing to do with the music but WB had to use the music in some way to keep the rights. So Looney Tunes are music videos. Change my mind.
I’m pretty sure the earliest ones didn’t have dialogue and thus were effectively music videos.
They didn’t have nothing to do with the music, they were literally set to the music. The music was used for emphasis and sound effects, etc.
The fabreeze on the left is definitely real though. I have a bottle like that.
This doesn’t have enough pixels to tell but the difference is the spelling. The left has “Febreeze” and the right has the correct “Febreze.”
Some of them are real, some of them are not. The Febreze one for example is fake.
Fruit of the Loom with the Cornucopia: Fake
Curious George with a tail: Fake (I know because I had the fucking Curious George huffing ether shirt in college.)
Chic-Fil-A: Fake (Link to Chick-Fil-A’s founder S. Truet Cathy’s book “Eat Mor Chikin” published in 2002)
Looney Toons: Fake
Fruit Loops: Fake
Oscar Meyer: Fake (I often confused the two spellings as a kid because we often bought Oscar Mayer hot dogs from Fred Meyer.)
Berenstein Bears: Not fake, more of a matter of different publications running with different spellings.
Jiffy: Fake
Febreeze: Fake (link to archived post from 1996 in an ad magazine announcing P&G releasing Febreze)Okay Maybe I’ll come back and finish digging up the evidence for all of these, but literally the Pikachu one is the only one I’m unsure about. I’m positive everything else on the left hand side has been completely debunked or is a situation like the Berenstain Bears where different publishers used different spellings, especially in the home videos.
Pikachu with a dark tail tip is definitely fake. The main variation that was added later on was a heart-shaped tail for female Pikachu, and like another user mentioned, marking that one black for the unique Cosplay Pikachu.
Now I have to dig through my art because I remember drawing that pikachu tip and I was only into pokemon for gen 1
Its actually not, back in the 90s due to communication issues, poor management of merch and inconsistent official art avaiablity during the red/blue era. A lot of odd ball designs have existed for a number of pokemon.
Pikachu with a black tail tip, brown, a garident all exist. The early water colors being poorly maintained also caused issues with it. Not to mention third party manufactures basing it off pokemon card art or art from the actual artists that never actually was ment to be reference material.
I use to have a number of Pikachu toys as a kid. There were more designs then you can count. Fat Pikachu was highly inconsistent.
I worked in a library twenty something years ago and once held copies of the same Berenstain/Berenstein Bears story, but with the different spellings.
You’re right that they just changed it in subsequent printings. Over time, the older copies wore out and got replaced by the new editions.
Ferris Bueller you’re my hero
The Pikachu might be based on Cosplay Pikachu from Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
Well sure it’s been debunked but the myth is that a timeline jump means historical records are going to be different from your memory.
So the proof that Looney Tunes is a myth isn’t in historical documents but from my memory where I know it was Tunes because of Merry Melodies. My memory agrees with historical proof.
