Don't you know the bologna song?

Berenstain Bears and the cornucopia boggle my mind.
Why would my toddler to young child self autocorrect for a Jewish spelling of the bears when I had no idea bout Jewish surnames at the time. Makes no sense.
Also, why would millions imagine a cornucopia behind fruit? No reasonable explanation of that one either.
Pretty sure there was a Sinbad genie movie too.
I've never had issues with the other ones.
Could be something there. Simulation? Alternate realities? But I'm definitely not assuming that millions just misremembered things in the exact same manner. That is a far more unrealistic and contrived response to me.

Life is like a box of chocolates vs life was like a box of chocolates is not the Mandela effect

The sinbad one trips me out I can distinctly remember him being in a movie Shazam and watching it as a kid, but apparently it doesn't exist.

quote:You watched Shaq as Kazaam. Shazam is a different character and the movie is more recent and the actor is white.

Also Sinbad did host a show or something about Sinbad the Sailor, and he did it in costume:
So that made the Sinbad-genie link.

Kellogg had been spelling fruit like that for years and we only noticed it now ... wowza

Sindbad was a genie in some production in the 80s/90s. We all can’t be wrong here.

I'd like to shift back into the old simulation.

Fruit of the Loom gets me. C3PO does as well. There is no way he had a silver leg!!

Probably because millions of people have seen images of cornucopias before and the FOTL logo looks like it would have one by association. It's not like it's some completely unrelated object or something

quote:So shitty memories, lack of actually paying attention, and the general dimness of millions leading to this "effect" is less realistic than alternate realities? It's no wonder you couldn't read "Berenstain" when you were a kid.

Ed McMahon was never a spokesperson for “Publishers Clearinghouse”.

I think there’s a lot more to physics that we haven’t figured out yet. It’s attributed to bad memory because we just don’t have a way of interpreting it in our brains yet.
Sometimes I wonder if the infinite parallel universe theory is real and we are having memories cross over from other dimensions.

WTF? Did we go back to the year 2015? You just now hearing about the Mandela Effect? It's simply a study of how unreliable memories are over long periods of time paired with mass confirmation bias.

The Rambo movie, First Blood, came out 40 years ago.
Stumbled across it when trying to confirm my memory was right and the OP was wrong. (OP was right)
Unrelated to the OP, but it bothers me more than all the nelson mandela things.
