I must admit, some of the fake ones look right to me. I don’t get how people misremember the spelling of Froot Loops though. How do you not remember the extra Os made of froot loops?
The Mandela effect is for people whose ego is so large that they believe that being catapulted into a parallel dimension without having noticed is a more plausible explanation than that they’re slightly wrong about something insignificant
The human brain has a tendency to see what it expects to see. That’s why most people don’t notice I’ve been deliberately misspelling Untied States for over a year. The brain just assumes it says what they expect it to say
the panel on the right is in fact right, the weird logo stuff bothers me because.
- who cares ?
- counterfeit/fakes exist
- misprints
- actual logo changes
The typos? You better believe it, you read that wrong, but see point 3 as well.
I make an active choice to believe I got catapulted into another dimension because that’s more entertaining and interesting than being slightly wrong, thank you very much!
as much as I want to think it’s only ego, there’s absolutely no way SO many people independently of each other remember the fruit of the loom logo had a cornucopia
…granted there’s absolutely no way the solution to this conundrum is an alternate universe lmao
A plausible theory I saw on the cornucopia is that some knockoff brand used it and the knockoff brand had poorer quality clothes and so none of it is around anymore
I’m with you on the cornucopia, there’s no way that logo didn’t exist somewhere.
Also keep in mind that nowadays we live in an age where something as insignificant as a logo change becomes headline news.
It’s entirely possible the company ran some market analysis and discreetly changed the logo a few decades ago. Maybe a shirt still exists out there with that logo, but it’s hard to find since cheap t-shirts and underwear don’t last as long as something like tailored vintage clothing. I’m sure if you spend enough time searching on the internet you might find something, but personally I cannae be arsed
Agent Smith, everybody.
The cornucopia was there. I swear on my life I saw it.
I’m now convinced that there was a knock-off brand that posed as Fruit of the Loom for years with the altered logo. That’s the only explanation I’ll accept. Mandela effect my ass.
That is literally how i learned what a cornucopia was. I asked my mom what fruit it was
Literally the same for me, except it was my father. Not that I believe the Mandela effect per se, but I really wish I had a proper explanation for that one.
maybe your father is his mother in an alternate house
Years ago, after 57 Chevies became the iconic representation of the 50s, and got REAL popular, I read about how there were far more 57 Chevies around than could be accounted for by official production.
It turns out that there were:
A dedicated group of ex-Chevrolet stylists and franchised used-car salesmen continued to turn out close to 200,000 1957 Chevrolets, focusing on the 2-door Bel-Air model, between the years 1957 and 1967, in a small auto assembly plant located outside Jacksonville, Ill.
Think probably what happened is the packaging had the cornucopia on it and it was very large and obvious and now no one has a sealed pack of underwear from the 90s
If you’re of a certain age, you can’t get Oscar Mayer wrong.
My bologna has a first name. It’s O-S-C-A-R. My bologna has a second name. It’s M-A-Y-E-R. Oscar Mayer has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A
100%, this wasn’t one I remembered differently.
nope, Fruit of the loom got me, i had seen the monopoly and curious george ones had no tail, but they knocked me for a loop a decade ago, Looney Toons was kind of shadowy in my mind, toones makes more sense, but the “merry melodies” moniker muddled the water, we brain cells. I always called the bears by what sounds like the first one, but i always knew it wasn’t spelled that way, i remmeber reading the books when I was young and my parents corrected the pronoinciation on me. I went with it because … ‘english’ but i always knew it wasn’t spelled like we said it, we don’t genrally promounce february and wednesday very well so who was 5 year old me to argue with an adult that would smack my ass for being argumentative. :)
Froot Loops has always been that way. Back when I was a kid, they only had three colours - red, orange, and yellow - and I remember being bothered that they had to repeat one of them. Problem got solved when they rolled out green.
Blue and purple must have rocked your world.
I’m convinced that the Mandela effect is just self gaslighting. I don’t have any strong memories about any of these things, so when someone shows me one I think it’s right, then I have a hard time believing it’s not right. If I was shown the correct one first the Mandela effect wouldn’t exist for me.
My aunt tried to “prove” the Mandela effect to me by asking how I remember the spelling of KitKat. I misremembered it with a hyphen. What she fails to understand is it proves nothing to me because I never claimed to have perfect memory
Its almost as if these companies keep altering their logos because that would be insane.
At this point I’m convinced it’s corporate gaslighting. They KNOW there wasn’t consistency because of franchisees, misprints, brand changes, inattentive advertising firms, mistranslations, knocknoffs, and different production lines hitting different specs. But do they own up to it? Nooooo. Apparently the collective society at large just “remembers” it wrong.
This looks like one of those ADHD tests I took. I failed them…found like one or two differences but they all look the same to me. I’m not American though
I can confirm the current universe chick fil a because I’d never seen or heard it until I was an adult, which was before they got infamous for being anti LGBT. When I first drove past the sign I asked the people I was with “WTF is chick feel ah?” If it’d been “chic” I would’ve pronounced it like the French loanword (ie “sheek”).
Opposite for me. I remember being bothered that they didn’t spell chick right. I wonder if the other universes me is happy…
Still no. :(
I thought “Chick filla” was some kind of entendre until I actually learned about them
That’s a new one.
Chic fil a is a new one, and I know for a fucking fact it used to be chic! Iv remember being a kid and thinking “that’s a strange way to spell it”
Maybe instead of freaking out about the Mandela Effect, we should be freaking out with our willingness to just believe corporations at their word. Because that’s who seems to have the final word in all of these things, especially in situations where you can’t go back and check original artifacts. I’m guessing there’s still some old Berenstain Bears books at garage sales and vintage Pikachu merch is everywhere, but who’s holding onto 40 year-old underwear or peanut butter jars?
Here’s a recent example: Dairy Queen introduced a new Blizzard about ten years ago. It started with a solid chocolate core with ice cream around it. They called it the Fudge Tunnel Blizzard. It was there, on the drivethrough sign, and my friends and I had a field day with it. The branding lasted for a few weeks and then it completely disappeared.
I can’t find branding anywhere on the internet. I know it was there, my friends saw it was there. Nobody took a picture and it vanished. I can’t find it on google. It’s gone. Well, there’s some mention of them adding a “tunnel of fudge” to the Royal Blizzard in 2017, but there’s zero surviving marketing material for the original concept which definitely did not have a golden spoon. I know this because I ordered it. Repeatedly. To make the people behind the intercom say it back to me.
It makes sense that they’d want to scrub everything that ever mentioned eating a Fudge Tunnel at Dairy Queen. For the other stuff… who knows? Marketing departments churn, stuff gets lost, short-run logos get left out of the brand evolution. Yeah, some of this is Mandela effect but can we stop treating corporations as the ultimate authority?
Wow.
Yeah they really shouldn’t have done the cross section.
I refuse to treat the lack of evidence the same as evidence. “Source: Trust me, bro” is not valid, whether “me” is “Internet Rando” or “Big Corp”.
Yeah, exactly. I get how the Mandela effect works psychologically, I just don’t love that a lot of them end with “corporation says no.”
I give up, what’s the difference between the two Chick-fil-A?
k
Just the spelling: Chic-fil-A vs. Chick-fil-A.
I have specific memories of how the spelling of Chic-fil-a looked so wierd to me, especially at a mall where the word chic actually gets used.
Me too… Plus Google would correct to chic .
In my universe it’s not Berenstain nor Berenstein…
! It’s Bloodstain!<
I hate this stupid-english product naming scheme so much
