Same. And the mock ups of the "fake" cornucopia FotL logo is positioned and colored how I believe I remember it, which really fricks me up.

Sinbad played college basketball for the University of Denver. Clearly people thought basketball player turned actor and conflated him and Shaq.

The only Shamaam show i am aware of is the 1970s TV series Shazam! (1974–1976). The main character, Billy Batson, rode around on a 1974 Honda XL 125 off/on motorbike. It was his primary mode of transportation and the only reason I watched the show.

o I researched it and Sinbad played a genie type character once on a TV skit called "All That."


Keenan Thompson had a recurring character that was an African exchange student “Ishboo.” I believe Sinbad had an appearance has his father, which aligns with a lot of the descriptions people have of their memory of Shazam.

i could've sworn i remembered there being both a kazaam and a shazaam and finding it weird they would make such similar movies.

it may just be that sinbad dressed like a genie in the 90s anyway

fruity looms definitely used to have a cornucopia. i think there are a couple companies jumping on the 'mandela effect' trend just for publicity

I remember the one where sinbad couldn't ride a horse, this pretty black girl gave him a piece and suddenly he could do it.

People were misremembering this long before KT was born.

Keenan Thompson was born in 1978 so I'm not sure what you're getting at.

Most people "remember" Shazam as being released around the same time as the Shaq movie "Kazaam." Which came out in 1996.
