If you don't know what the Mandela effect is, you've probably been living in a box for the past few years. It's a crazy phenomenon that occurs when a large majority of people remember something a certain way, but when we revisit it, it turns out to be completely different. The most popular occurrence was the well-known "Berenstein Bears" book series. Blowing everyone's' minds, it turned out to be spelled "Berenstain Bears." That one truly made me reconsider everything. Not all Mandela effects appear significant to everyone, but these are a few that boggled my mind.
1. Jif Peanut Butter.
I swear I could remember picking up a container of "Jiffy" peanut butter at the store when I was younger. Turns out, it's always just been "Jif." So where did we all pick up the last few letters from?
2. Febreze.
It would make way more sense if it was spelled "Febreeze," right? Wrong. It's always just been "Febreze."
3. Kit Kat.
I love eating Kit Kat bars, they're one of my favorites. I always thought there was a dash between Kit and Kat: Kit-Kat. That must've been a hallucination because it's literally just Kit Kat.
4. Double Stuf Oreos.
The proper spelling of this would've been "Double Stuff" which is maybe why we all didn't remember that it was JUST "Double Stuf." But, why would you do us like that, Oreo?
5. C3PO has a silver leg.
I could've sworn this robot from "Star Wars" was fully made of gold metal. Turns out, he's always had one silver leg. Ummm... what?
6. Chartreuse.
There's a huge discrepancy over what color Chartreuse really is. Some of us always thought it was a magenta pinky color when in reality, it's more of a forest green.
7. Snow White's mirror.
Don't even try denying this one. We always remember the Evil Queen saying, "Mirror, mirror on the wall." Well, to our surprise, she never said that. She says, "Magic mirror on the wall..." BYE.
8. Curious George.
We all know Curious George, the MONKEY. It would make sense that he would have a tail, right? Wrong. He literally never had a tail.
9. Looney Tunes.
We all thought it was "Looney Toons" since they were cartoon characters. So, why the heck is it now called "Looney Tunes?" Which, by the way, makes absolutely no sense.
10. Oscar Mayer.
You know, the brand that makes cold cuts and hot dogs. People swear it was called "Oscar Meyer" with an E. Nope, it was always "Oscar Mayer."
There's so much more to explore for yourself, some you may agree with; others not so much. These, however, truly had me disturbed.
