The Mandela Effect is not a real thing. There's no such thing as parallel universes. You just misremembered something from your childhood. There's nothing special or unique about that.

In a lot of cases also, it is just "My mind filled a word in for something that was grammatically weird".

Actually, it's the Moriarty effect. Someone Moriarty-esque with unlimited wealth, power and influence is flexing all of that to rewrite the past for some nefarious purpose, or their own amusement.

What's weird is the people talking about "timeline residue" and they think that there's a group of people who change things and "leave residue" of previous timelines.

Like no, you're just remembering something wrong. Almost all the shit you're talking about is when you were 8 years old and now you're like 30 or older. This shit was over 20 years ago. I don't think even 3% of Americans have a reliable enough memory for something that long ago.

You got people out there thinking it wasn't always Froot Loops. It was ALWAYS Froot Loops.

No braces thing on Dolly is the weirdest one. Really the only truly weird one, all the others are a lot more easily explained, you can see how someone thought whatever but how it wasn't the actual case.

It's ALWAYS been "Berenstain Bears". I know this because I had a couple of Living Books CDs as a kid, and one of them was "The Berenstain Bears Get in a Fight", and when it reads the title at the beginning, it says "The BerenSTAIN Bears".

This stupid "effect" is just arrogant motherfuckers not being able to admit that they didn't know something. No effect in place, you just didn't fucking know. Why not just admit that? Is learning so offensive?

They mislabeled some of their merchandise. I have books that say Berenstain Bears and the Sega Genesis games spells it Berenstain Bears on the box but Berenstein Bears on the label.

But I wouldn't say that timelines shifted, someone just messed up the spelling.

A lot of it is just common misspellings of things.

Usually with products marketed to kids, so sometimes they used a goofy way of spelling it to market it to kids. So thats when some confusion may come into play.

It is strange that so many people "misremember" the same things and what it looked like before. Like how do we have the same wrong image in our heads?

I would guess some other kind of mental "trick" like priming or whatever.

Typical example:

"Hey, do you remember that Disney clip before their movies with Tinkerbell doing firework magic on the dot of that i?"

"eh, yeah, sure, why?"

"IT NEVER HAPPEND! It wasn't actually on the dot of the i, but the center!"

Or the typical misquotes, like, Darth Vader never saying "Luke, I am your Father!". Yeah, that's because beginning with "Luke" is just easier to get the reference right into some context as one liner.

And, because I now looked up some other "Mandela effects" per google:

Forrest Gump didn't say "Life is like a box of chocolates," he said, "Life was like a box of chocolates."

Interview with a Vampire is actually Interview with the Vampire.

Come on. I have never seen the movies in english, only german. And there Forrest Gump says "Meine Mama hat immer gesagt, "Das Leben ist wie eine Schachtel Pralinen"" - Present Tense.

And the movie is called "Interview mit einem Vampir".

There is no way for me to know that the translation I grew up with differs in such a tiny detail with the original titel.

If I were ever talking n english about the Movie "Interview with the Vampire" I would have simply mistranslated "Interview with a Vampire".

That's no wrong memory or some mandela effect, that's just me not knowing the correct original because it got changed with the translation.

It is a real thing just far more mundane then alternate reality. Its just our minds self correcting and adding dots to connect in our memory to create a total picture.

*no easy way to explain it*

People associate piles of fruit with cornucopias, and probably never actually paid much attention to an underpants logo so their brain just assumes there should be one.

The video goes over the flaws with that argument, I'd encourage you to watch it since it's not the "zomg alternate universe confirmed" kind of thing most other videos on the subject are.
