When I was 13 (Many years ago) my family and I went out of state to visit relatives for summer vacation. when I returned to school that fall everyone was surprised to see I was alive. There was rumor I had drowned in a pond at a nearby gravel pit. A few years ago I reconnected with a girl I went to school with back then on Facebook. She was freaking out. "I thought you died back in middle school". She remembered the rumor but forgot all the time we spent in class together after that. LOL
Yes, and when many my age remember being taught that "dilemna" was spelled with a silent n, only to find out now that it was never spelled that way. We are all remembering the same nonsensical mistake. As kids, why would we struggle studying for a test and just throw in a silent letter for no reason. This video can't explain that.
I like to spell things correctly and on a two occasions autocorrect corrected my spelling and I thought dang, I could have sworn I knew how to spell these words. When I found out about the Mandela effect, those words were part of it.
The human mind is extremely similar between people. Test brain scans show that roughly the same places of the brain activate when given a noun or a shape, so much so that a computer can assume what word/shape the person being scanned is thinking of almost 100% of the time. Its not a stretch to think that millions of people can misremember things. Just think of any commonly misspelled word. Is that the mandella effect too? Or just a simple mistake? Is it acceptable? Or is it acceptible? Is it Cemetary? Or Cemetery? Vacuum? Or Vacuume?
Tell that to the people that climbed into the crown/torch of the statue of liberty throughout the past 40ish years but apparently if you look it up nobody was ever allowed up there.
Chartreuse was supposed to be any shade of red that could be considered an off red containing notes of pink/purple/and or orange but now it's not even remotely close at all, right now chartreuse happens to be green. But maybe tomorrow it will be blue.
@@Cornerstanding No, that is the myth. Chartreuse has always been yellowish-green or greenish-yellow, just as Darth Vader has always said "No, I am your father", popular misremembrance notwithstanding. Check any color reference or Wikipedia or anything. The earliest references in print to chartreuse as a color, dating from the 1880's, call it an apple green with yellow tinge, and it is more or less still that today.
You know what scares me about the Mandela effect is I can remember my mother telling me when I was in elementary school when I asked who Nelson Mandela was that he died in prison in the 80's. When I asked her about when she told me this recently, she said "I never said that!, You are making that up, I've never heard that one before" I have no idea how this happened
Sounds like my mother, who has either a very selective memory or a very scattered one. She will deny to the grave things that she absolutely did say, no matter how inconsequential.
@@Johnsonlui7707 How could they have? Especially of someone they didn't know about and also only knows about him because of that interaction/memory, obviously meaning it can't be false otherwise the memory of how they discovered the existence of mandela would be different and would also be what they first goes to, not the memory they mentioned
@@nightingale2424 nah, me and my cousins had a fight over it as kids and rewatched it to prove some are just narcissists that refuse to have bad memories.
@@LordMuffinToken Well I hope many would know the original Tale and not only the Disney Commercial Retelling of the Tale. But looking at it realistically, probably not many know the Original.
Growing up, me and my brother shared a room for most of our childhood, and for many years there was an owl portrait made of fabric on one of the walls. It’s like a wooly blanket inside a picture frame. Anyway, the owl was very colorful and the background was black and I would stare at it a lot, because I loved it. As time went on, the room got painted and the owl portrait wound up in a storage shed in our backyard. Where it stayed for several years, until recently… Throughout the years, I thought about this thing and always wanted to see it again, but the shed was so full of stuff it was impossible to get to it. Apparently, most of the stuff inside was trash from when my parents were struggling to pay the trash bill when we were kids… Just a month ago, my brother told me he had a dream that the shed was empty and clean, and it inspired him to take the time to clean it out. Before everything was put onto a trailer, it was all put in trash bags and placed outside the shed. Or put into a pile if it was too big for a trash bag. On one of the cleaning days, I went up to my brother and asked him if he’d found that owl portrait that I mentioned earlier. He told me he did and brought me to where it was. He pulled some stuff off of it and I finally got to see it again after so many years, but when I saw it I wasn’t as excited as I thought I would be.. When I saw it, I was immediately thrown off by the colors… I remembered the owl being very colorful. It had every color of the rainbow in it, mainly being blue and yellow, with a black background. However.. what I saw was an owl with only 3 colors and a white background…. The most jarring thing to see was the white background… which still doesn’t make sense to me. I have it in my room now so it doesn’t get lost again, and every time I look at it I have such a weird feeling. Like it’s still missing… I can’t get over the colors of it, and especially the background being white… I feel almost like I remembered this thing specifically over the years for a reason, but I have no clue. I just always remembered the colors and always imagined that when I’d see it again, I’d get to see the rainbow owl on a black background. Every time I see it I feel disappointed, and also a bit sad… Sad that I’ll never get to see the one I grew up staring at and admiring, even though it used to fall on me when I was asleep sometimes LOL What’s the worst is that sometimes when I look at it, I still expect to see the different colors, and it’s almost like I can see them for a split second before they’re gone..
@@yourrightimsooosorry884 Trash collections are companies, whether paid by local taxes or by individuals. I imagine in rural areas people pay for the service, in bigger cities or suburban areas they are paid with tax money.
I've never met anyone who didnt know there were 50 states in usa Edit: I've never met an American that didn't know there 50 states. The rest of you, I understand. I dont know how many states or provinces there are in any other country.
Many years ago, when I was in high school, I was convinced there was 51. Of course an hour later I was kicking myself for adding a new imaginary state.

I feel like he just convinced me that he has worn that hat before, for at least a single scene. But when I look thru his previous videos I've watched I don't see him wearing it ever. Weird lol
With the “Luke, I am your father” thing, I only ever watched the actual movie once. I just remember hearing everyone else say that’s what it was and I had no reason to believe it was false. So I didn’t specifically remember it, but I assumed it to be true.
It's because if we said "No, I am your father", people wouldn't necessarily get the reference, so we throw in a "Luke" when making the reference without any other context to make it clear... it's a reference, not an exact quote, like if using it in a joke, and you had to prefix "[the scene from starwars]", it ruins it. This is why things don't remain word-for-word, it's not the purpose of the reference.
James Earl Jones had a Joke on the star wars set after that scene was released on film the joke was “What does a redneck Jedi say to another Jedi, Luuuke I am your Father, and your uncle“ his joke not mine. look it up
I think that's the most likely explanation for most of these, especially with social media now. It only takes one person sharing misinformation, intentionally or otherwise, for it to be picked up by others who repeat it without thinking to check facts first. Sooner or later the false information has been spread across the internet with possibly the majority of people assuming it to be true. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ And before the internet took off, you'd still get that same domino effect through newspapers and local word of mouth and such, except back then it was even harder to reliably fact-check before repeating whatever you just learned from that one trivia nerd on the playground.
@@liliacfury That's probably because a lot of people at the time simply got it wrong. Last names ending in -stein are not that uncommon, so Berenstein would fit an already familiar pattern. Berenstain doesn't, so it kinda makes sense that a lot of people might get it wrong, especially if they weren't paying that much attention to the exact spelling of the name.
That wouldn't have happened, because if it really were -stein, you wouldn't have mispronounced it as -stain. That mistake would not make any sense because names ending in -stein are common while names ending in -stain are not, so why would you turn the more common and logical spelling into a less common and logical one? Incorrectly turning -stain into -stein, on the other hand, makes perfect sense. That's probably what happened, and you later switched it in your head.
When I was a kid I use to chose those books to do reports on. I always got marked on my spelling of the name because I spelled it Berenstien. My teacher got frustrated because all I had to do was copy it from the book, but she noticed that it was the ie-ei problem. She started working with me on that and she never once said it was Berenstain. With her help I learned how to use the ei-ie the right way. Now I find out that it was more wrong than that!
@EL SHNASTO I kinda knew it was Berenstein. Becuase I'd remember singing the intro so wrong I wanted to get it right so I remember it being beren stein bears
I actually dont believe in most of the mandelas. But the berenstain bears one really gets me. Those books single handedly taught me how to read. And I remember being actively confused about how their names were pronounced. I definitely remember it being Berenstein bears due to it being such an impactful change in my life.
You were confused because Berenstein looks and sounds more common. Kids inn my school made this mistake all the time. Don’t put so much weight on something you believed when you were a little kid who, by your own accounts, was just learning how to read.
@@taoist32 Yes but then at some age you never saw that book until you learned about the Mandela affect. Then misremembered how it was spelled because you haven't seen it since you were a child.
The “Luke I am your father” one ruined my childhood bc people would always say it to me growing up and I’d always correct them and argue with them. I literally have seen the movie and that scene a good 200+ times and I have endured so much pain sharing the truth my whole life
The Mandela effect “Mirror Mirror” is because Shrek was made to spite and make fun of Disney. So lord Farquad says “Mirror Mirror” and most people remember the saying from that movie.
I love it when one blind man touching an elephant describes it and another blind man who is also touching it is disagreeing with the first man, and a third blind man is laughing at the other two because he knows elephants don't exist.
so accurate! i love how this describes the infuriating arrogance of people who think they know everything about something they have no experience, and thus no real knowledge, of. unfortunately these pricks are everywhere.
Dude... I've been thinking that for a long time.... My buddy and I have a theory where you can cautiously jump dimension ( something like you are saying, extremely slight difference is all you would experience... but what if you keep doing this repeatedly, combine that with everyone is just a reflection of yourself, multiverse, and the akashic records, and it makes sense why we experience the Mandela effect). Thanks for posting that man
I remember Mandela dying when I was a kid. It was all over the tv news and various news papers. I feel like something changed. Everyday I feel like this world is wrong.
probably cause it was so long ago and you were just a kid you only vaguely remember something important happening with him. so your brain just decided that he died
@@skrrrrrrrrt I wish that were the case. Unfortunately I vividly remember things from when I was 4 and I know what I saw. There were at least 3 biographical movies that came out after that and at least 2 of them ended with his funeral.
I had a big Mandela effect today where while working in the clinic I received a new referral for a patient that I thought was already admitted. Her name was very unusual and is similar to a character in a romcom. So I remember making her file clearly and actually funnily speaking the lines of that character while filing her records. But it was the first time her referral came today and first time her file came to our clinic!! There is no other patient with the same name. I am blown away. I don't know what to say. This is not the first time I'm experiencing this. Nothing in this video explains what I experienced.
@@losenge It happens to me a lot. And I have heard that it may have something to do with parts of the brain that process information lagging even nanoseconds behind each other. It creates confusion. I have lupus and get a lot of brain fog during flares. I also don't sleep well in the heat so I wake up confused in summer. A lot of times I'm doing something and I suddenly freeze, stuck on some memory I can't recall that I think is repeating what I'm currently doing or is somehow related. Like a few days ago I dropped a clothes hanger. And when I picked it up I was suddenly trying to recall some event with a hanger and I got really confused and felt like I was repeating myself well, repeatedly. Most likely it was because I drop hangers all the time. So one hanger dropping incident is the same as the other and they all blend together when I am feeling brain foggy.
Our sense of self is virtually what we remember and don’t remember. The Mandela Effect is a phenomenon that may seem like a small issue, but it may actually escalate into bigger issues if our minds fill in the memory gap negatively.
There is actual physical evidence that Vader said “No, Luke. I am your father.” and “No, I am your father.”. This is because they did multiple cuts. James Earl Jones even remembers it as “No, Luke. I am your father.”
When I was a kid I called the Berenstain bears ( The Berenstain bears ) in front of my older sister she corrected me & showed me the name on the cover it was Berenstein bears. I called it that for years & never gave it a second thought. Then this happened. The thing is, I remember this specifically because My sister corrected me. Now it is the way & was saying it. I would lay my hand on a bible & swear to god that this is true. I am not imagining this & I'm not crazy.
I always thought it was Bernstein bears and I remember Mandela dying. Also the guy that played the genie is saying he never played that part. Trust me your not crazy.
The monopoly guy had the monocle. I remember it because once i was playing with friends and family and the whole time I was wearing a magnifier like the monopoly guy, something my family recalls happening. None if us is crazy.
You are not crazy but you are imagining it. That's confabulation, baby. Your sister corrected you. Later, you learn she is wrong. You misattribute learning the truth to her. A false memory is created.
This is one of the few things I remember clearly from seeing James Bond movies in the theater. False memory? Like I just stuck that in there in my mind? Like _while_ I was watching it? She had braces, and it was probably the best laugh of the film.
Who here remembers pikachu with a black tipped tail? I'm not talking about cosplay pikachu, either. Edit: Everyone is confused for some reason, but i was talking about Mandela effect pikachu, not pichu or cosplay pikachu. Cosplay pikachu is a pikachu that you get in OR/AS, it's a female pikachu (female pikachu have the notched tail) that likes to cosplay. An odd feature this pikachu has, that NO OTHER pikachu has, is the black-tipped tail, making it so it has a heart shape at the end of it's tail. Also im pretty sure pichu has a completely black tail. Another edit: mandela pikachu, to my knowledge, has existed BEFORE cosplay pikachu.
I have a toy right here from my Childhood and pickachu has a black tip on the tail maybe he was updated on the new series but I have original figures and a picachu cup with the black tip tail
grimm fairytale version of snow white is "mirror mirror" disney movie version is "magic mirror" childrens books written by others varied between the two
@Clark Ruell No, you remember your belief inside, outside, upside down. That does not mean you actually remember it accurately. You just believe that you remember it accurately.
I never read the children's book. Literally everyone remembers "Mirror, mirror on the wall." It has been quoted innumerable times, in books, TV shows, movies, newspaper articles, cartoons, you name it. I even have a brilliant, shiny silver-white glitter called "Mirror Mirror." Nobody is getting that from some old story, they get it from the Disney movie because that's what people are most familiar with.
@@ElveeKaye I never watched the movie but always heard adults say it to kids mirror, mirror. Folks older than Disney movies more than likely are quoting the books
One aspect was definitely overlooked, which is speaking of rhe Mandela effect is self fulfilling, given that talking about leads to priming. When a conversation starts with you misremember details and shouldn't trust your memories, then ask for people to remember superfluous details out of context you've just created a fantastic environment for priming.
Scientists they have pretty much discarded this possibility in recent studies because if this was the case different people wouldn't remember the exact same thing so consistently.
i read on reddit somewhere so take it with a grain of salt. but that there was a typo in the school books that got sent out to militarily bases around the world with kids being taugth that there are 52 states. haven't looked into it but its a possibility
In italian it's "Specchio, servo delle mie brame", which translates as "Mirror, servant of my wish". But before I stumbled in this Mandela Effect thing I was sure too the first and the second word were the same.
I mean, on spanish they say "Espejo mágico, dime una cosa" which is "Magic mirror, tell me a thing" But everyone thinks they say "Espejito espejito mágico" Espejito beeing the diminutive for mirror on Spanish, IDK
I figured it was likely for the same reason people think Darth Vador said "Luke, I am your father", for the same reason people think Einstein's definition of insanity is "To repeat the same thing over and over again expecting a different result."
Do you know how many counties great Britain has? Or Germany? People from other countries might not care about the states and therefore don't know how many there are
Eh, it's happened to me but I accept that I just can't figure out a logical answer. I think that it isn't as simple as some people think, but also no where near as complex as some others think.
I've been a fan since the beginning and Pikachu never had a brown stripe at the tip, HOWEVER there was a clone pikachu in Pokemon The First Movie that had different markings, as all the clones did. Misremembering it could easily explain your belief in an extra brown spot at the tip of the tail.
My girlfriend swears I had metal braces in high school, she claims she remembers me coming into school with dots on my teeth and talking about it. She also says she remembers me getting them having them off. I remember getting Invisalign instead because I didn’t want metal braces.

@@fionafiona1146 everyone had what? Braces? No I never did, my brothers never did, I knew kids with super crooked teeth, that never got braces, teeth still crooked, there are loads of pictures elementary through middle into high school of people without braces
I think the monopoly man one is definitely people mixing him up with Mr. Peanut. Both mascots that stand a similar was with a top hat and a cane. Plus the monocle feels like a natural assumption for his character type, it’s a pretty common design trope. For these reasons people think he has a monocle and then other people see the interpretations where he’s wearing a monocle and then they have it reinforced to them that he has a monocle
One I undeniably remember is the Jiffy peanut butter. I used to see it in stores until it became Jif. I just thought they renamed their brand. Then years later I saw it in a Mandela effect video. So I googled it, and apparently Jiffy peanut butter never existed
I remember arguing with my fellow classmates about whether it was pronounced steen or stine. If it was spelled with an A, there would be no need to argue about how it's pronounced. It would be stain.
I remember stein because I made a Frankenstein joke the first time I saw a book. It stuck in my head as weird for bears. I was called Frankenstein because I had a huge heart surgery scar and many others and a silver streak of hair that reminded everyone of the Bride of Frankenstein & I didn’t like it, but I could understand the correlation easier. LoL goofy kids.
The one that gets me is chick fil a, because I used to drive by it to work with my girl friend and distinctly remember making fun of it being spelled "chic". How can fast food be chic? Hard to accept I just didn't see a k when I looked at it hundreds of times.
it is literally "Spieglein Spieglein an der Wand" (= "mirror mirror on the wall") in the original Grimm's fairytale, so I don't think the Disney movie is the best source here...
It’s what the actual fairytale says. Disney changed the line, but it is not the original version. (Edit: speaking for me personally, I definitely had the Grimm fairytales read to me - in Dutch translation - long before I saw the Disney version, let alone before seeing it more than once. We never really rented VHS tapes back when I was young.)
The only issue is that what can be asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. Until the day that we can prove it, it can all just be chaulked up to faulty memory, even if so many people remember the same thing.
Me American: He asks how many states there are. Says 51/52 and I'm like wat? :It's likely because when shown a map of the US they say the "main land" of the US is 50 + Alaska and Hawaii as the 2 others. At least that is what I think.
What color is chartrause Me: who for some reason to this day remembers a spesific episode of blues clues where they show chartruse as a mix of yellow and green
It's weird, I don't usually get details wrong with my memory. That being said I am SUPER forgetful. It's more likely I'll forget something all together than I will get the details wrong about something.
If it's not guilty until proven, then how do we arrest people and send them straight to jail to await trial? I just spent almost two years locked up for a crime I did not commit, and eventually I got out when I won at trial. But I was being punished for almost TWO YEARS OF MY LIFE while I was innocent. So they say its innocent until proven guilty, but in practice it is not. Innocent people get to be free.
@@bloodyfunguy9025 sucks for you, but it should be innocent until proven guilty in the real world as well, not just in a Twitter echo chamber. Your situation is just an unfortunate example of how it shouldn't be.

I got a 36 on my ACT in literature comprehension, I love to read and I love to use unique words in unique ways. Subtle changes in words and phrases have been popping up quite often these days, spellcheck keeps reminding me of this. I could attribute my misspelled words to quite a number of issues similar to the reasons put forth by this narrator. What I cannot reason with is the fact that these changes have been happening at an exponential rate as if they were a steady curve on a graphing calculator. The Mandela phenomenon is real, and it is growing.
I’ve got a big one for you. As I was growing up the borough in New York was spelled Broynx. Now it is spelled Bronx, which is a pretty harsh word that sticks out due to its sharpness.
The only pikachu with a black bit at the end of it's tail is the special cosplay pikachu from omega ruby and alpha sapphire. Other than that, there is no black bit. And even on the cosplay pikachu, its a heart, not a stripe. I wonder if maybe there's some pre-beta version that did have the black stripe, and that maybe it comes from people seeing that once as children, or maybe just a coloring error somewhere that stuck with people. There could be a number of explanations, but I guess we'll never really know.
Guys, I figure out the monocle Madela effect on Monopoly guy, is based on bad cognitive memory of it got mixed with a photographic memory of Mr. Peanut. They both have similar hats, similar cranes but Mr. Peanut has the monocle that people are talking about
Except that America isn't the only country in the world and Mr Peanut is unknown in pretty much most of the world. That being said, people from all over the world "remember" the Monopoly guy to have a monocle. My personal guess is that we simply associate such a filthy rich top-hat figure to having a monocle, and therefore fill that memory gap believing that he did have a monocle
@@birddaddydetta there's other ones that relate. Like the peanut butter one. Is it jif or jiffy? A lot of people remember it being jiffy (I did too) but I think it's just that we remember Skippy peanut butter and we are combining the two memories that aren't important at all lol

I was at a book fair in elementary school when I first noticed the Bernstein bears was spelled different I remember thinking then that's odd when did they start spelling it like that and that's the last time I thought about it until I found out about the Mandela effect and saw people talking about it on the web
I might be misremembering or coming up with false memories (just like the Mandela Effect), but I vaguely remember being confused about why it was pronounced “STEIN” when it was spelled “STAIN” and just chocked it up to English being odd.
Everyone is debating the mandela effect or just insisting that the things they remember are real, while I'm just sitting here giggling at the fact that "confabulation" is a real word.
The scene from the snow white mirror could be caused by different translations? In the german original she says the equivalent of "mirror, mirror on the wall" at least.
But the most German people know it from the written fairy tale and not the disney version I guess, maybe it's translated as "mirror mirror on the wall" in the written version and that's what people remember
"Mirror Mirror" is the 1857 Ashliman translation and is generally considered canonical, most prints of the tale follow this. However Disney animated movie version is rewritten, it does not follow the canonical version very closely, there numerous differences. So people conflate the imagery and overall sound of the Disney version with the canonical text. To make things worse, the speech recording and mixing quality in the Disney movie is horrible (i mean it's from 1937) and unless you're listening very closely and consciously, and have fairly modern, high-quality audio, you will be inclined to fill in the gaps and hear it as the canonical utterance that you are familiar with from elsewhere rather than the actually spoken one.
I've always said that if people remember being told it's "Beren-STEEN" Bears as kids, and were corrected or even _punished_ for saying otherwise, it's because their teachers or parents mispronounced it and doubled down instead of admitting they made a reading mistake to children.
Then go look at pictures of Rodan's The Thinker statue & then start noticing All the multitudes of people posing totally wrong in pictures right next to the actual statue! The professional body building pose The Thinker is totally different pose than the actual statue. Then SNL sketches where they pose wrong along with Simpson's, Family guy & a plethora of other shows that have depicted that statue and depicted it totally wrong!
Okay so basically the Mandela effect is me asking myself after lunch, "What did I eat for lunch? HOL' UP, DID I EVEN EAT LUNCH???" and then remembering 10 seconds later.
No. It's you eating lunch with 1 million people, and 1/2 remember eating Lasagna and the other half remembers eating Chicken Fried Steak. Out of all of the foods in the world... why does the "wrong" half all remember eating the same thing, instead of for example their own favorite food? If half remembered one thing, and the rest remembered an assortment hodge-podge concophany of random meals, then "infallible narcissists" "misremembering" or some other simple explanation would do. Imagine also, that you're one who notices details everyone else over looks. 99% of the time your memory lines up exactly as recorded media, on situations you remember. You've been a witness in court. Have had your observations verified. But somehow, you just so happen to be part of that group that remembers that meal "incorrectly."
Tennamen (sp?) square massacre- originally it became worldwide outrage when the gov there ran over a defiant citizen with a tank. I remember being shown footage in school of him being run over and every anniversary on tv news would show it. Now the story goes (and video of event) ppl ran in from off screen and dragged him away/arrested.
I was aware of the “Mandela effect” happening for me personally before I ever heard about it or heard the term. The Berenstein Bears one was the first shared one I experienced as I read those books a lot when I was a kid but I experienced a lot of little things on my own and always just figured either I’m in the Matrix or I’m losing my mind slowly.
"we're all mad here" -Cheshire cat But actually it was "most everyone's mad here" And what if one day you searched The Mandela Effect and nothing about it pops up..Lol it's like the effect affecting itself..
No one will EVER convince me it's the Berenstain Bears I had nearly every book as a kid, a lot of the VHS and I remember their name being the only thing I HATED because much like even now I could never remember if it was spelled "Stein" or "Stien" if it was BerenSTAIN I would have never had that issue.
I remember stein too because i asked my mom n she said its a jewish married couple so stein. How many jewish ppl do u know name is stain not stein. Lol however i do have my ancient books n unfortunately it says stain on it so it must be split reality from cern hadron collider or a misprint which is possible but i doubt it.
Mom remembers a ton of details on Mandela’s death that didn’t happen when he died later. She can’t explain why something she watched in school when it happened never happened at all
More like Mandela was in prison for many many years and in the 80's it seemed that he "died" in prison and then re emerged years later after the South African Government fell and he was elected President of the country which held him in prison for all those years.
plot twist: the mandela effect isn’t real and companies recall old stuff to remake it with the change except the states one. me nor my family has only said 50

My favorite example is Sinbad playing a genie in a movie called Shazaam. It's so specific. This isn't just a misremembered fact, or something we misread. Rather, this is an entire visual image with multiple common facts attached to it (the name of the movie, the actor, the way he looked in the movie, what happened in the movie) that many of us falsely remember. Somehow, a huge number of people mentally transformed memories of the real movie Kazaam staring Shaq into Shazaam staring Sinbad. I've yet to see an explanation for why this oddly specific collective misremembering occurred. That doesn't mean it's supernatural, only that someone somewhere made an extremely widely spread mistake at just the right time for many of us to see and, for some reason, remember it. If the trigger for this can be found then it might tell us something about the Mandela effect.
I can offer a solution. Sinbad was in a lot of movies and shows geared towards kids back in the 90’s around the time Shaq was in Kazaam. He also wore a lot of brightly colored baggy cloths that someone, especially a child, might conflate with the wardrobe of a genie. I believe he even dressed like a genie during a presentation of Sinbad the Sailor, and if I’m not mistaken, an episode of All That on Nickelodeon. Given that children have vivid imaginations and often remember things very differently as an adult, it stands to reason that they could easily confuse a movie about a genie with an actor who’s wardrobe looks like something a genie would wear, especially when they were out around the same time.
@@GrizzlyTank that lays the basis for the confusion, but I still think we're missing a key moment when someone made this _exact_ mistake on some widely televised event that, for whatever reason, a lot of us saw and remembered. Alternatively, a lot of people vaguely but not quite remembered the movie with Shaq, then someone made a thread asking if people remember the movie (mistake with Sinbad), and asking people if they remembered that mistake prompted people to revise their memory such that Sinbad was in the movie.
I love how people try to explain it away as some "misremembering" anomaly. The more obvious explanation is that people in different areas of different ages received different information.
For me there is no obvious explaination, and it can't be explained away by false memories. The flintstones and the VW badge flipflops happened in too short of a time span to qualify for false memories. I remember noticing when the flintstones had changed to flinstones and having my mind blown. Then a short time after it changed back blowing my mind a second time. Same thing happened with the VW badge. I'm still waiting for skeptics to tackle that one, no one will touch it.
@@consolewarfare5884 I like how all those supposed "wrong memories" are actually very logical mistakes one could make. I mean, if you're a kid, it's not strange to misspell "flintstones" as "flinstones", because that's how you often pronounce it. Then one day you discovered it was actually " flintstones" and learned you always spelled it wrong, and your 'mind was blown'. But your memory of that moment later switched those two spellings around and you thought "flintstones" was corrected into "flinstones", when it really was the other way around. So when you saw "flintstones" again, your mind was blown yet again. How do I know this happened? Because "flintstone" is a word and "flinstone" is not. And the cartoon was named after the stone, so the creators would never spell it as "flinstone," there would be zero reason for them to misspell the very names of their main characters. On the other hand, a child's mind still learning spelling in school, can easily come up with "flinstone."
@@buffkangaroodog Psychology is the study of the mind, not the definition of it. No science will ever be inclusive of all realities. You use science as an escape from the unpredictable at the risk of making yourself irrelevant.
Memory loss is the most horrifying thing, not just for humans but really the universe. It’s the ability to know that once was. If someone or something has control of your memory, they can control everything.

Sinbad made a movie in which he played a genie, it was called Shazzam! I remember watching it on daytime TV as a child while staying home from school. You cannot convince me otherwise.
Yes!! I’ve been going crazy looking for it. I clearly remember seeing it at the movie rental stores and always thought it was a knock off version of kazzam shaqs movie
You know, when I first looked into the Mandela Effect along with seeing this video I was completely shocked. Now looking back into the Mandela Effect I realized it's not surprising at all due to the understanding that humans horrible memories. Case in point, there was a time when my brother and I were kids there was an event that happened that was outright hilarious. I'd bring it up every year in detail. I brought it up so often eventually my little sister recalled having the memory but she wasn't even born. I realized it's really easy to fabricate or even alter someone's memory, this video itself have altered people's memories by creating false memories and using that as validation that they're remembering it wrong.
Thats if it did alter which it didnt. When you find out that the things you saw change years before you see the mandela effect a thing, then you know you arent crazy. I saw nearly the first half of these mandela effects change, years later, they are singled out in a video about the changes and then you knew you werent crazy.
I keep having this phenomenon that i call "De ja vu" effect. Everytime i got a thing for the first time my brain is like "I think ive seen this before"
Deja Vu is weird and it gets even weirder for people like me where we swear we dream of the future and than experience that same thing as Deja Vu in real life. And sometimes it's stuff that you've never experienced before.
I get that trying to remember something can create a false memory of said situation/Item. No one will truly understand or believe someone until they've had a genuine actual Mandela experience. I witnessed, In my home. My Folgers can all of a sudden saying "Foldgers" one morning. We kept the can. About a month later my GF woke me up while I was having a nap freaking out telling me I had to see the can. And it was Back to "Folgers". Not me remembering how something used to be. But a genuine Mandela experience. This phenomenon is %100 real. And nothing Can now convince me otherwise. My whole household seen it. Even my mother who was living with us at the time. Don't think you are crazy if you have had a genuine experience. You're not alone.
See, that one bothers me the most because I share their last name, except for the 'extra R' so, Bernstein, not berenstein. It was a big deal to me as a kid that it matched except for the one R I'd color out, my family played it up, I had all the books, they were on my shelves for years all with the extra R removed. I had them even later into life because different relatives hand wrote notes into the books when I got them as gifts and they went through them to take the r out. There is NO WAY it was berenSTAIN. This one is to big an event for misremembering

"I thought you died back in middle school". She remembered the rumor but forgot all the time we spent in class together after that. LOL
Wrong memories don’t surprise me... it’s when millions of us have the same wrong memories.
thats what im saying
Yes, and when many my age remember being taught that "dilemna" was spelled with a silent n, only to find out now that it was never spelled that way. We are all remembering the same nonsensical mistake. As kids, why would we struggle studying for a test and just throw in a silent letter for no reason. This video can't explain that.
I like to spell things correctly and on a two occasions autocorrect corrected my spelling and I thought dang, I could have sworn I knew how to spell these words. When I found out about the Mandela effect, those words were part of it.
The human mind is extremely similar between people. Test brain scans show that roughly the same places of the brain activate when given a noun or a shape, so much so that a computer can assume what word/shape the person being scanned is thinking of almost 100% of the time.
Its not a stretch to think that millions of people can misremember things.
Just think of any commonly misspelled word. Is that the mandella effect too? Or just a simple mistake?
Is it acceptable? Or is it acceptible?
Is it Cemetary? Or Cemetery?
Vacuum? Or Vacuume?

@@Cornerstanding No, that is the myth. Chartreuse has always been yellowish-green or greenish-yellow, just as Darth Vader has always said "No, I am your father", popular misremembrance notwithstanding. Check any color reference or Wikipedia or anything. The earliest references in print to chartreuse as a color, dating from the 1880's, call it an apple green with yellow tinge, and it is more or less still that today.
You know what scares me about the Mandela effect is I can remember my mother telling me when I was in elementary school when I asked who Nelson Mandela was that he died in prison in the 80's. When I asked her about when she told me this recently, she said "I never said that!, You are making that up, I've never heard that one before" I have no idea how this happened
Looks like your from the wrong universe buddy.
Don’t feel bad, I asked my mother when I was about 4 y.o. to explain the difference between girls and boys, she said she didn’t know. True story.

You created a false memory.

Growing up, me and my brother shared a room for most of our childhood, and for many years there was an owl portrait made of fabric on one of the walls.
It’s like a wooly blanket inside a picture frame.
Anyway, the owl was very colorful and the background was black and I would stare at it a lot, because I loved it.
As time went on, the room got painted and the owl portrait wound up in a storage shed in our backyard. Where it stayed for several years, until recently…
Throughout the years, I thought about this thing and always wanted to see it again, but the shed was so full of stuff it was impossible to get to it.
Apparently, most of the stuff inside was trash from when my parents were struggling to pay the trash bill when we were kids…
Just a month ago, my brother told me he had a dream that the shed was empty and clean, and it inspired him to take the time to clean it out.
Before everything was put onto a trailer, it was all put in trash bags and placed outside the shed. Or put into a pile if it was too big for a trash bag.
On one of the cleaning days, I went up to my brother and asked him if he’d found that owl portrait that I mentioned earlier. He told me he did and brought me to where it was.
He pulled some stuff off of it and I finally got to see it again after so many years, but when I saw it I wasn’t as excited as I thought I would be..
When I saw it, I was immediately thrown off by the colors…
I remembered the owl being very colorful. It had every color of the rainbow in it, mainly being blue and yellow, with a black background.
However.. what I saw was an owl with only 3 colors and a white background….
The most jarring thing to see was the white background… which still doesn’t make sense to me.
I have it in my room now so it doesn’t get lost again, and every time I look at it I have such a weird feeling.
Like it’s still missing…
I can’t get over the colors of it, and especially the background being white…
I feel almost like I remembered this thing specifically over the years for a reason, but I have no clue. I just always remembered the colors and always imagined that when I’d see it again, I’d get to see the rainbow owl on a black background.
Every time I see it I feel disappointed, and also a bit sad… Sad that I’ll never get to see the one I grew up staring at and admiring, even though it used to fall on me when I was asleep sometimes LOL
What’s the worst is that sometimes when I look at it, I still expect to see the different colors, and it’s almost like I can see them for a split second before they’re gone..
Wow that is crazy!
That sucks.
No one going say "what the fuxk is a trash bill???"

@@yourrightimsooosorry884 Trash collections are companies, whether paid by local taxes or by individuals.

With the “Luke, I am your father” thing, I only ever watched the actual movie once. I just remember hearing everyone else say that’s what it was and I had no reason to believe it was false. So I didn’t specifically remember it, but I assumed it to be true.
It's because if we said "No, I am your father", people wouldn't necessarily get the reference, so we throw in a "Luke" when making the reference without any other context to make it clear... it's a reference, not an exact quote, like if using it in a joke, and you had to prefix "[the scene from starwars]", it ruins it. This is why things don't remain word-for-word, it's not the purpose of the reference.
I remember "Luke, I am your father" but the movie was Tommy Boy.
Same
James Earl Jones had a Joke on the star wars set after that scene was released on film the joke was “What does a redneck Jedi say to another Jedi, Luuuke I am your Father, and your uncle“
his joke not mine. look it up
I think that's the most likely explanation for most of these, especially with social media now. It only takes one person sharing misinformation, intentionally or otherwise, for it to be picked up by others who repeat it without thinking to check facts first. Sooner or later the false information has been spread across the internet with possibly the majority of people assuming it to be true. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
And before the internet took off, you'd still get that same domino effect through newspapers and local word of mouth and such, except back then it was even harder to reliably fact-check before repeating whatever you just learned from that one trivia nerd on the playground.

@@liliacfury
That's probably because a lot of people at the time simply got it wrong. Last names ending in -stein are not that uncommon, so Berenstein would fit an already familiar pattern. Berenstain doesn't, so it kinda makes sense that a lot of people might get it wrong, especially if they weren't paying that much attention to the exact spelling of the name.
@@thatmarchingarrow I remember Bernstein..
That wouldn't have happened, because if it really were -stein, you wouldn't have mispronounced it as -stain. That mistake would not make any sense because names ending in -stein are common while names ending in -stain are not, so why would you turn the more common and logical spelling into a less common and logical one?
Incorrectly turning -stain into -stein, on the other hand, makes perfect sense. That's probably what happened, and you later switched it in your head.
When I was a kid I use to chose those books to do reports on. I always got marked on my spelling of the name because I spelled it Berenstien. My teacher got frustrated because all I had to do was copy it from the book, but she noticed that it was the ie-ei problem. She started working with me on that and she never once said it was Berenstain. With her help I learned how to use the ei-ie the right way. Now I find out that it was more wrong than that!

Cosplay pikachu is a pikachu that you get in OR/AS, it's a female pikachu (female pikachu have the notched tail) that likes to cosplay. An odd feature this pikachu has, that NO OTHER pikachu has, is the black-tipped tail, making it so it has a heart shape at the end of it's tail.
Also im pretty sure pichu has a completely black tail.
Another edit: mandela pikachu, to my knowledge, has existed BEFORE cosplay pikachu.
I rememberred it as three black stripes at the tip🤦🏽♂️
Wait! What? Picachu is the only one I liked. He does or does not have a black tipped tail? Oh, yeah, and 3 black stripes?
I have a toy right here from my Childhood and pickachu has a black tip on the tail maybe he was updated on the new series but I have original figures and a picachu cup with the black tip tail
Desertdieselgang the only black tips that Pikachu ever had were on the ears.

grimm fairytale version of snow white is "mirror mirror"
disney movie version is "magic mirror"
childrens books written by others varied between the two
@Clark Ruell No, you remember your belief inside, outside, upside down. That does not mean you actually remember it accurately. You just believe that you remember it accurately.
I never read the children's book. Literally everyone remembers "Mirror, mirror on the wall." It has been quoted innumerable times, in books, TV shows, movies, newspaper articles, cartoons, you name it. I even have a brilliant, shiny silver-white glitter called "Mirror Mirror." Nobody is getting that from some old story, they get it from the Disney movie because that's what people are most familiar with.
@@ElveeKaye I never watched the movie but always heard adults say it to kids mirror, mirror. Folks older than Disney movies more than likely are quoting the books
One aspect was definitely overlooked, which is speaking of rhe Mandela effect is self fulfilling, given that talking about leads to priming. When a conversation starts with you misremember details and shouldn't trust your memories, then ask for people to remember superfluous details out of context you've just created a fantastic environment for priming.
Scientists they have pretty much discarded this possibility in recent studies because if this was the case different people wouldn't remember the exact same thing so consistently.
I've been seeing a lot of people with the 52 states thing and I just don't get it.
Also, you should have changed your avatar to have a hat.
Those people think that Alaska and Hawaii are states 51 and 52 because they aren't part of the continental USA.
i read on reddit somewhere so take it with a grain of salt. but that there was a typo in the school books that got sent out to militarily bases around the world with kids being taugth that there are 52 states. haven't looked into it but its a possibility
go look into Brian Staveley's work....
there ARENT 52?
Wood Dragon But they are states
In German, the evil witch actually says "Spieglein Spieglein...", which means mirror mirror
exactly ! humanity is in a deep deep sleep and they dont even recognise it
In italian it's "Specchio, servo delle mie brame", which translates as "Mirror, servant of my wish".
But before I stumbled in this Mandela Effect thing I was sure too the first and the second word were the same.
Absolutely the same in Bulgarian!
yeah in spanish too, she says; Espejito Espejito. witch means little mirror, little mirror
I mean, on spanish they say "Espejo mágico, dime una cosa" which is "Magic mirror, tell me a thing" But everyone thinks they say "Espejito espejito mágico" Espejito beeing the diminutive for mirror on Spanish, IDK
the snow white thing is probably because "mirror mirror" is the correct translation

Do you know how many counties great Britain has? Or Germany? People from other countries might not care about the states and therefore don't know how many there are

I fell down the Mandela rabbit hole due to Pikachu’s tail. I remember it having a brown stripe right at the tip. Apparently it never had it
Bro when I was 4 or 5 I was pikachu kept saying pika pika I was obsessed I know there was a mark
I used to be obsessed too and I remember it never had a brown spot
I've been a fan since the beginning and Pikachu never had a brown stripe at the tip, HOWEVER there was a clone pikachu in Pokemon The First Movie that had different markings, as all the clones did. Misremembering it could easily explain your belief in an extra brown spot at the tip of the tail.

I think the monopoly man one is definitely people mixing him up with Mr. Peanut. Both mascots that stand a similar was with a top hat and a cane. Plus the monocle feels like a natural assumption for his character type, it’s a pretty common design trope. For these reasons people think he has a monocle and then other people see the interpretations where he’s wearing a monocle and then they have it reinforced to them that he has a monocle
He used to be fatter, though! That cracks me up. I have super old monopolys, and he is significantly rounder than the new versions lol
One I undeniably remember is the Jiffy peanut butter. I used to see it in stores until it became Jif. I just thought they renamed their brand. Then years later I saw it in a Mandela effect video. So I googled it, and apparently Jiffy peanut butter never existed
There's Jif peanut butter and Skippy peanut butter LOL maybe we all merged the two of them in our brains over time. Hence, Jiffy.
Yep that one gets me too was always Jiffy. The funny thing is the label has empty space for the missing fy

It’s what the actual fairytale says. Disney changed the line, but it is not the original version.
(Edit: speaking for me personally, I definitely had the Grimm fairytales read to me - in Dutch translation - long before I saw the Disney version, let alone before seeing it more than once. We never really rented VHS tapes back when I was young.)

The Mandela effect effected the whole internet to think that its guilty until proven guilty instead of innocent until proven guilty
I think that’s just a thing people say when talking about politics
If it's not guilty until proven, then how do we arrest people and send them straight to jail to await trial? I just spent almost two years locked up for a crime I did not commit, and eventually I got out when I won at trial. But I was being punished for almost TWO YEARS OF MY LIFE while I was innocent. So they say its innocent until proven guilty, but in practice it is not. Innocent people get to be free.

Subtle changes in words and phrases have been popping up quite often these days, spellcheck keeps reminding me of this. I could attribute my misspelled words to quite a number of issues similar to the reasons put forth by this narrator. What I cannot reason with is the fact that these changes have been happening at an exponential rate as if they were a steady curve on a graphing calculator. The Mandela phenomenon is real, and it is growing.

Alright, I can accept that the monopoly man doesn't have a monocle, but I'm 100% that Pikachu used to have a black stripe at the end of his tail
This is how I feel about the song we are the champions.
Nope. You are misremembering, your brain maybe confabulating the brown bit at the base of its tail.
No never
Pichu does I belive. Maybe you're combining them?
The only pikachu with a black bit at the end of it's tail is the special cosplay pikachu from omega ruby and alpha sapphire. Other than that, there is no black bit. And even on the cosplay pikachu, its a heart, not a stripe.
I wonder if maybe there's some pre-beta version that did have the black stripe, and that maybe it comes from people seeing that once as children, or maybe just a coloring error somewhere that stuck with people. There could be a number of explanations, but I guess we'll never really know.
Guys, I figure out the monocle Madela effect on Monopoly guy, is based on bad cognitive memory of it got mixed with a photographic memory of Mr. Peanut. They both have similar hats, similar cranes but Mr. Peanut has the monocle that people are talking about
Andrea Frausto dude.....yes, I was thinking the same thing. I think that’s what happens with most of these
Except that America isn't the only country in the world and Mr Peanut is unknown in pretty much most of the world. That being said, people from all over the world "remember" the Monopoly guy to have a monocle.
My personal guess is that we simply associate such a filthy rich top-hat figure to having a monocle, and therefore fill that memory gap believing that he did have a monocle
@@birddaddydetta there's other ones that relate. Like the peanut butter one. Is it jif or jiffy?

I might be misremembering or coming up with false memories (just like the Mandela Effect), but I vaguely remember being confused about why it was pronounced “STEIN” when it was spelled “STAIN” and just chocked it up to English being odd.
Everyone is debating the mandela effect or just insisting that the things they remember are real, while I'm just sitting here giggling at the fact that "confabulation" is a real word.

And that makes you smarter than a lot if the commenters here…
Our memories are malleable and change every time we access them.
The scene from the snow white mirror could be caused by different translations? In the german original she says the equivalent of "mirror, mirror on the wall" at least.
In Hungarian she says "my mirror, my mirror tell me" in a little bit fancy older sounding way
Someone else commented that its mirror mirror on the wall in the portegues version as well
But the most German people know it from the written fairy tale and not the disney version I guess, maybe it's translated as "mirror mirror on the wall" in the written version and that's what people remember
"Mirror Mirror" is the 1857 Ashliman translation and is generally considered canonical, most prints of the tale follow this.
However Disney animated movie version is rewritten, it does not follow the canonical version very closely, there numerous differences. So people conflate the imagery and overall sound of the Disney version with the canonical text. To make things worse, the speech recording and mixing quality in the Disney movie is horrible (i mean it's from 1937) and unless you're listening very closely and consciously, and have fairly modern, high-quality audio, you will be inclined to fill in the gaps and hear it as the canonical utterance that you are familiar with from elsewhere rather than the actually spoken one.
In my language its basically like saying "little mirorr little mirorr tell me" or "nice mirorr nice mirorr tell me"
I've always said that if people remember being told it's "Beren-STEEN" Bears as kids, and were corrected or even _punished_ for saying otherwise, it's because their teachers or parents mispronounced it and doubled down instead of admitting they made a reading mistake to children.

No.
It's you eating lunch with 1 million people, and 1/2 remember eating Lasagna and the other half remembers eating Chicken Fried Steak. Out of all of the foods in the world... why does the "wrong" half all remember eating the same thing, instead of for example their own favorite food? If half remembered one thing, and the rest remembered an assortment hodge-podge concophany of random meals, then "infallible narcissists" "misremembering" or some other simple explanation would do.

Aussie. Was told as a kid (I'm now 50) that there were 50 mainland states, and Hawaii and Alaska. 52. I wonder how my parents got misinformed, this has been going on for a long time...
My favorite example is Sinbad playing a genie in a movie called Shazaam. It's so specific. This isn't just a misremembered fact, or something we misread. Rather, this is an entire visual image with multiple common facts attached to it (the name of the movie, the actor, the way he looked in the movie, what happened in the movie) that many of us falsely remember. Somehow, a huge number of people mentally transformed memories of the real movie Kazaam staring Shaq into Shazaam staring Sinbad.
I've yet to see an explanation for why this oddly specific collective misremembering occurred. That doesn't mean it's supernatural, only that someone somewhere made an extremely widely spread mistake at just the right time for many of us to see and, for some reason, remember it. If the trigger for this can be found then it might tell us something about the Mandela effect.
I can offer a solution. Sinbad was in a lot of movies and shows geared towards kids back in the 90’s around the time Shaq was in Kazaam. He also wore a lot of brightly colored baggy cloths that someone, especially a child, might conflate with the wardrobe of a genie. I believe he even dressed like a genie during a presentation of Sinbad the Sailor, and if I’m not mistaken, an episode of All That on Nickelodeon.
Given that children have vivid imaginations and often remember things very differently as an adult, it stands to reason that they could easily confuse a movie about a genie with an actor who’s wardrobe looks like something a genie would wear, especially when they were out around the same time.
@@GrizzlyTank that lays the basis for the confusion, but I still think we're missing a key moment when someone made this _exact_ mistake on some widely televised event that, for whatever reason, a lot of us saw and remembered.
Alternatively, a lot of people vaguely but not quite remembered the movie with Shaq, then someone made a thread asking if people remember the movie (mistake with Sinbad), and asking people if they remembered that mistake prompted people to revise their memory such that Sinbad was in the movie.
I love how people try to explain it away as some "misremembering" anomaly. The more obvious explanation is that people in different areas of different ages received different information.
For me there is no obvious explaination, and it can't be explained away by false memories. The flintstones and the VW badge flipflops happened in too short of a time span to qualify for false memories. I remember noticing when the flintstones had changed to flinstones and having my mind blown. Then a short time after it changed back blowing my mind a second time. Same thing happened with the VW badge. I'm still waiting for skeptics to tackle that one, no one will touch it.
@@consolewarfare5884 Flinstones has to be some Chinese knockoff. Flint is a type of rock and goes with the entire rock theme.
@@consolewarfare5884 I like how all those supposed "wrong memories" are actually very logical mistakes one could make. I mean, if you're a kid, it's not strange to misspell "flintstones" as "flinstones", because that's how you often pronounce it.
Then one day you discovered it was actually " flintstones" and learned you always spelled it wrong, and your 'mind was blown'.
But your memory of that moment later switched those two spellings around and you thought "flintstones" was corrected into "flinstones", when it really was the other way around. So when you saw "flintstones" again, your mind was blown yet again.
How do I know this happened? Because "flintstone" is a word and "flinstone" is not. And the cartoon was named after the stone, so the creators would never spell it as "flinstone," there would be zero reason for them to misspell the very names of their main characters.
On the other hand, a child's mind still learning spelling in school, can easily come up with "flinstone."

Never happened. He played in Sinbad The Sailor, and looked like a genie in THAT show.
*0:26** about memory*
*remember like/share this video (:*
You know, when I first looked into the Mandela Effect along with seeing this video I was completely shocked.
Now looking back into the Mandela Effect I realized it's not surprising at all due to the understanding that humans horrible memories. Case in point, there was a time when my brother and I were kids there was an event that happened that was outright hilarious. I'd bring it up every year in detail. I brought it up so often eventually my little sister recalled having the memory but she wasn't even born.
I realized it's really easy to fabricate or even alter someone's memory, this video itself have altered people's memories by creating false memories and using that as validation that they're remembering it wrong.
Thats if it did alter which it didnt. When you find out that the things you saw change years before you see the mandela effect a thing, then you know you arent crazy. I saw nearly the first half of these mandela effects change, years later, they are singled out in a video about the changes and then you knew you werent crazy.

I already knew it was the green one! Never associated chartreuse with pink, which I find strange. Thanks Black Butler fanfic.
For some reason I thought it was more of a yellow-green.
@@GIRGHGH it is. It's a yellow green.
I blame monster inc, that's where my misconception comes from.
I never even heard of that word before. Why not just call it green? dark green, light green, green, this makes things so much simpler.

I keep having this phenomenon that i call "De ja vu" effect.
Everytime i got a thing for the first time my brain is like
"I think ive seen this before"
Deja Vu is weird and it gets even weirder for people like me where we swear we dream of the future and than experience that same thing as Deja Vu in real life. And sometimes it's stuff that you've never experienced before.
it's called Jamais vu
I get that trying to remember something can create a false memory of said situation/Item. No one will truly understand or believe someone until they've had a genuine actual Mandela experience. I witnessed, In my home. My Folgers can all of a sudden saying "Foldgers" one morning. We kept the can. About a month later my GF woke me up while I was having a nap freaking out telling me I had to see the can. And it was Back to "Folgers". Not me remembering how something used to be. But a genuine Mandela experience. This phenomenon is %100 real. And nothing Can now convince me otherwise. My whole household seen it. Even my mother who was living with us at the time. Don't think you are crazy if you have had a genuine experience. You're not alone.

Like the Berenstien thing??? I've read most of the books as a kid, and yet I remember the wrong spelling....
go look into Brian Staveley's work....
See, that one bothers me the most because I share their last name, except for the 'extra R' so, Bernstein, not berenstein. It was a big deal to me as a kid that it matched except for the one R I'd color out, my family played it up, I had all the books, they were on my shelves for years all with the extra R removed. I had them even later into life because different relatives hand wrote notes into the books when I got them as gifts and they went through them to take the r out. There is NO WAY it was berenSTAIN. This one is to big an event for misremembering
I remember Berenstein bears cuz I hve the books still. N I remember the monopoly man hving the monocle
@@wintersquest
That is really interesting!!! I wonder if I remember it wrong because I READ the word one way, but I remembered it wrong???
@@Goblineng
Huh. I found most of the books at the library, but rarely watched the show....
