Have you ever vividly remembered something that never existed? It's called the Mandela Effect. There really is no way of explaining this phenomenon. It's not a false memory nor is it a conspiracy theory. In fact, many people believe that it has to do with a parallel universe. Fiona Broome, a paranormal enthusiast was the one who first brought up the idea of the Mandela Effect. It all started when she could have sworn she remembered Nelson Mandela dying in the 1980's when really he died in 2013. This is where we get the term "Mandela Effect". Online you will see many people trying to "debunk" or disprove certain Mandela Effects. How exactly are we supposed to "debunk" something that never existed? Here are 20 different Mandela Effects that you may or may not have heard of.


1. "Fruit Loops" is actually "Froot Loops?

As a kid, I ate these a lot. I still do, but I always remember it being "fruit" and not "froot".

2. "Sketchers" has no "t"

"Sketchers" was never spelled with a "T". The correct spelling is "Skechers". Is it me or does that look very wrong?

3. White Out is spelled wrongIsn't it funny that "White Out" is supposed to correct your spelling mistakes when the label itself is spelled incorrectly? "White Out" has no "h". It's actually spelled "Wite-Out".

4. Febreeze or Febreze?

You're probably thinking that it's spelled with two "E's", but you're wrong. Go look at a bottle and you'll be surprised to find out that is actually "Febreze".

5. "Hello Clarice"

If you've ever watched the movie "Silence of The Lambs" you remember his famous line "Hello Clarice", right? Well, Hannibal Lecter never said that. Who knows where we got that from, but go watch the movie or look up the scene on Youtube. That line doesn't exist.

6. "We Are The Champions"... of the world?

Indeed, Queen does say "We are the champions of the world" in the song, but do you remember how the song ends? It doesn't end with "of the world". In fact, it ends abruptly. That's not how I remember it. Don't believe me? Go listen to the song.

7. The Monopoly Man

The famous board game "Monopoly" has been around for as long as I can remember. The Monopoly Man is most famous for his monocle. But wait, what monocle? He doesn't have one.

8. Looney Tunes

I bet you think I spelled "tunes" wrong, but I didn't. It never was "Looney Toons" which doesn't make sense considered that is a carTOON show.

9. CFA

One of the most popular food chains "Chick-Fila-A" was spelled "Chic-Fil-A" at one point... or was it? It never was. This may not come as a shock to some of you, but I clearly remember it not having a "K".

10. "Life is like a box of chocolates"

This famous line quoted in the famous movie "Forrest Gump" is completely wrong. It's actually, "Life WAS like a box of chocolates". Since when is there "was" in the title? That doesn't even sound right.

11. Oscar Mayer

Almost everyone has had a hot dog from this brand, but the way we think it is spelled is completely wrong. It's actually "Oscar MEYER".

12. "Mirror Mirror On The Wall"

This famous line from the good old classic "Snow White" is not what we think it is. It's actually "Magic Mirror On The Wall". I had to go back and watch this scene again because I couldn't believe it.

13. The Berenstein Bears

This is the most popular and well-known Mandela Effect of them all. Look it up online and you'll come to find out that it's actually "The Berenstain Bears". Mind BLOWN.

14. The Flintstones

You probably think I made a grammatical error by adding in the "T", but I did not. I always remember it being "The Flinstones". Never has there been any emphasis on the word giving us the impression that it's actually spelled with a "T", but apparently it is. Maybe they changed it? I don't think so.

15. PikachuPokemon, a game, and TV show are known for the dynamic duo of Ash and Pikachu. How many of you remember him having black on his tail? I sure do, but the tail is actually, in fact, all yellow; no black line ever existed.


So what do you think? Do you believe we're living in a parallel universe? Or maybe we've switched parallel universe's over the years. I guess we'll never know since it can't be scientifically proven.

Is your mind blown yet?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.
