It was always Berenstein. Whenever I type Berenstein my phone tries to autocorrect Berenstain! Goddamn Matrix!

I always pronounced it as "bern-steen". Never really knew how it was spelled.

We all have. We were duped.

As the narrator in the video stated, I can pretty vividly remember being corrected when I thought it was pronounced "bern-stain."

One of the greatest mysteries of our lifetime when you think about it.

They will say "stain". I guarantee it. I checked it myself with some books from the early '80s that my mom had in the attic. Here's the very thing though - of course they will say "stain" in this universe. In this universe, they have always said "stain". That's the whole thing. Back where we came from they said "stein".

Stein became Stain
Fruit Loops became Froot Loops
"Luke, I am your father" became "No, I am your father"


My theory is someone has gone back in time, altered something and caused a glitch in the matrix

WHAT?

I knew about chartreuse and New Zealand but not these! Whoa.

It was definitely Fruit Loops and "Luke, I am your father" back in our home universe or before the time traveler messed this up, whichever happened.

Yeah watch the Star Wars clip now.

Our childhoods were wrong and we all collectively remember them wrong in a massive coincidence

OR

Back to the Future was a warning

You decide.

Actually, and this is going to REALLY freak you out, but remember those Mikey commercials?

They said:
“Let’s get Mikey. He’ll eat it. He eats everything.”

Right?

Except, in this universe anyway, they didn't!

Check it out on YouTube. LINK

In this universe they said:
“Let’s get Mikey. He won't eat it. He hates everything.”

I'm serious. Watch it. It'll put a chill down your spine.

This is called the Mandela effect.

People thought he died in prison in the 80s when in reality he died in 2013

This must be my tether to the other universe because I actually remember it that way.
