One of my favorite quotes comes from Detective Joe Miller in the first season of The Expanse: "You know, every time you remember something,
your mind changes it just a little. Until your best and your worst memories are your biggest illusions."

Yes we know James Earl Jones is still alive. It was a mistake. The Mandela Effect strikes again!

Anyone who has worked in retail knows the Mandela effect is strong with the general public who will fight tooth and nail to make you believe the frappe was $1 less last week.

I'm South African, and it's always so insane to me that people thought he died in the 80s. I watched him shake the hands of our rugby team when we won the '95 rugby world cup. Cried when he died in 2013, as well. RIP Mandela.

The Fruit of the Loom logo is still the craziest one to me. I grew up wearing that brand, so learning that the cornucopia never existed on the logo gave me the chills.

How can people not remember the man was president of south Africa? I remember footage of him meeting with president bill Clinton.

Funny thing is - when this phenomenon first came up, I could've sworn it was called Mandala Effect.

I'm almost 30 now, but I vividly remember being corrected by my mom when I was a child over the pronunciation of "Berenstain". Because we're so used to it being "stein" (Einstein, Goldstein, Frankenstein), we all automatically processed it as "stein".

And Sinbad WAS in a really bad genie movie. So bad, it was buried. If you're in Hollywood, and have a good enough management team, ANYTHING can dissapear ;)

I believed in the Mandela effect at first but then I started to believe that we as a society just have bad memory and tend to repeat each other

It's definitely Berenstein bears. I grew up learning to read and write with these books. When I practiced my cursive I would trace over the letters. I specifically remember the 'ei' as it had a particularly pleasing flow. After I read about the Mandela Effect a few years ago, I dug up my old books at my parents' house -- they were all spelled with 'ai' !! It's like an episode of Fringe....

I always thought the Mandela effect was really just an inability to accept that we can be wrong about anything

6:55 I remember it as _"Mirror_ mirror on the wall, who's the fairest _of them_ all."

[laganas]

I always remember it as "mirror mirror."

I've had my own Mandela Effect moments. One of which where I remember Leonard Nimoys funeral on tv. Only to find out decade's later that he was still alive. I recall it all so clearly right down to William Shatner giving a speech. Another being the opening of a Disney where Tinkerbell flitted around spelling out the name 'Disney' before finally giving a dot for the 'i'. Then I found out that it had never happened either! Anyone else remember these or is it just me.

For some it's called the "Mandela" effect, for others it's called The effect....

[kylepirko]

I think they ripped a hole between the neighbouring universe when they started up the large Hadron collider. Damn C.E.R.N.

[skinnermclane]

I'm 32 currently and the only Mandela Effect I've ever had is knowing for a fact that Sinbad played a genie in a movie called Shazaam in the early 90's. Mom and co-workers agree, but the Time Cops have erased the film from reality.


Not particularly bothered by this. I wasn't chomping at the bit to see it in the first place.

[alexasmachine]

Nelson Mandela was RELEASED FROM PRISON, I clearly remember watching it on TV...LOL

My job in the late nineties was to destroy misprint copies of analog CMYK color films during the digitizing process for recreating the Fuji plates used for printing the VHS covers of the Berenstain Bears videos. The misprint films all had "Berenstein" and not "Berenstain" as it is supposed to be spelled according to the writers. The error had occurred during several printings and reprintings in the nineties of not only the VHS home movies, but the VHS tape labels and possibly the books (though our press was not the one that printed the books). The error was caused by a sales employee mis-spelling the name and transferring the mis-spelling as a mistake in the handwritten notes on the side of the manilla envelope that the order came in. It has been corrected in modern prints and is now digitally verifiable due to our process. All the misprints on site were shredded to avoid future similar mistakes. I had no idea that this had taken on a life of its own with misinformation spread through internet memes.

James Earl Jones is still alive in this timeline!
