I distinctly remember the jingle from the 70's and 80's. What child of the 80's doesn't? Definitely "A".

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:


I remember it differently. Never seen that sinbad the sailor shite in my life.

Isn’t the closing scene in Field of Dreams showing a long line of cars in line to get to the ballpark? This may explain why some people remember “Build it and they will come.”

The shaq Kazaam movie has nothing to do with the confusion.

The cornucopia in FOTL never existed. My sister and her ex husband both worked at the plant in Rayne. Plus, three of my former co-workers also worked at the plant in St. Martinville for well over 30 years. There is no cornucopia.

I think we get that mixed up with the Thanksgiving color sheets we had to do in school as kids.

People have invented a 90s movie about a genie starring a large black man named Shazam and you don't think they're confusing it with the actual 90s movie about a genie starring a large black man named Kazaam?

I go back and forth about the Mandela Effect but I’ve recently (in the last 2 weeks) come across something that I can’t explain. The the cool part about this is that it’s very local and relatable.

Look at this picture taken of Tiger Stadium and printed in the 1978 Media Guide. The picture is showing the construction progress of the old west side upper deck or “nose bleed”.



Do you notice something that seems a bit “off”? Let’s look closer.



It shows the north end zone having 2 decks and the south end zone having only one. Anyone who’s been to the stadium knows that the opposite is actually how the stadium is built. Also the architecture (the classic arches) were never part of the south end zone.

I dug around a little a thought maybe this is just a reversed/flipped image that was a result of the picture being taken on film and then using the negative to create a photo which would then be transferred to a printing plate.

It looked like that might be the case, if it weren’t for one part of the picture… the LSU painted in the end zone. Specifically, I’m talking about the “U” in LSU. If the image was flipped/backwards then there should be an “L” but instead we have a “U”.

Kinda spooky

I flipped the image in Photoshop and it matches the locations of the buildings in the background perfectly on satellite. It's just a flipped image. You can see Lockett on the North side (left) as it should be in the flipped version.





The end zone is probably painted UM for Ole Miss or something like that

ETA: Yes, the end zone was "UM" for Ole Miss during that photograph in 1978
LSU vs. Ole Miss 1978 --- skip to 2:10 and you can see the end zone is painted "UM"

The Mandela effect isn’t real. It’s stupid to think it does. It’s just incorrectly remembering things.


Except it does though psychologically, since large segments of people misremember the same exact things. Which then spreads so more people misremember until that’s the common belief.

“Luke, I am your father” even among non SW fans, they can tell you this quote...except it never happened. The line was “No, I am your father” but the first is the one you always hear quoted erroneously.

Another one - “Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all” from Snow White was never the line. It’s “Magic mirror on the wall”

I still swear that a Sinbad movie called Shazam existed in the 90s. It did not.

“Jiffy” peanut butter has never been real.

Yet people remember all these things. It’s the Mandela effect

This isn't necessarily simply misremembering, though. The Empire Strikes Back Storybook published in 1980 has it printed "No, Luke. I am your father" ( link ), other material and references have it that way too.

This also isn't misremembering. The original Grimm's Fairy Tale 53 which Disney's Snow White is based off of uses "mirror, mirror" and Disney published book versions of Snow White that also used "mirror, mirror"

You’re right. That doesn’t look anything like Detroit in that picture.

I think even as children we had already run across a lot of names ending in -stein.


More likely is that we heard it pronounced incorrectly before being able to read it, and assumed it ended in -stein.

Bingo. I have a fricking stellar memory

But I totally fricked one up recently. It's frustrating.
