13 Mind-Blowing Examples Of The Mandela Effect
tumblr

If you’ve fallen down the endless hole that is the internet, it’s more than likely you’ve come across the Mandela Effect at least once in your life. The Berenstain Bears is the popular example of this apparent parallel universe; many remember the popular children’s book series to be spelled –tein instead of –tain, and the question has caused much controversy on the internet. But is that the only example there is?

Absolutely not. There are so many more. Here are thirteen more examples

1. Pikachu’s Tale

Many people remember the famous Pokemon to have a black stripe on the end of it’s tail. But apparently the stripe never existed.

2. Life is like a box of chocolates

This wasn’t actually the famous line originally said in “Forrest Gump.” While everyone remembers it (and quotes it) as “Life is like a box of chocolates,” the movie actually says “Life was like a box of chocolates.” Don’t believe me? Watch this video.

3. Fruit Loops

Is actually Froot Loops. Not Fruit Loops.

4. Mr. Rogers Theme Song

Apparently, it’s not a beautiful day in the neighborhood — it’s a beautiful day is this neighborhood, though. Watch it here.

5. Mirror, mirror, on the wall


Who’s the fairest of them all? If you remember it like that, it’s not you. The evil queen in “Snow White” actually says: “Magic mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?”

6. “We are the Champions”

Does not end with “of the world,” like many remember it ending. The song just ends with the line “We are the champions,”

7. Curious George’s Tail

Did this curious little monkey have a tail? While many remember otherwise, Curious George doesn’t have a tail. This also completely goes against basic monkey anatomy.

8. E.T. phone home

E.T. didn’t actually say that famous line in the movie “E.T.” The direct quote is: “E.T. home phone.” In the defense of everyone who remembers it differently, Gertie immediately says “E.T. phone home” after the alien’s famous line.

9. Smokey the Bear

Is actually just Smokey Bear. You can still find photos and memorabilia on the internet with “Smokey the Bear,” but the official name of this forest fire-fighting bear is just “Smokey Bear”

10. Harry Houdini's Death

Many remember this master escape artist dying attempting one of his famous escapes, but in actuality, he died of a ruptured appendix after a student punched him.

11. Rubix Cube

I received one of these myself as a Christmas present, and I distinctly remember it being spelled with an “x.” But really it’s spelled “Rubik’s.”

12. Cup of Noodles

Guess what, the brand doesn’t actually have the word “of” in their name. Yes, that’s right: They’re just “Cup Noodles”

13. White-Out

While many of us remember this polish-smelling mistake fixer to spell white with an “h,” it’s actually spelled “Wite-Out.” Convinced yet?

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
