The dimensional jump did a number on my back and knees, too. And hairline.

We have to go back!

You’re a hero. Now I can be upset about Frebreeze too.

Agreed, also by putting so many together like this, you’re gonna have some people who don’t remember it that way. Like the Monopoly guy is half-convincing to me, but I’m pretty sure it’s just a mix-up with Mr. Peanut.

My personal reason for messing up Chick Fil A in my head is because there used to be a different chicken restaurant chain where I grew up called Krispy Chic. Not sure if any are still open, but all the ones in aware of closed down decades ago.

All of the one where the spelling is wrong make sense, because people were projecting familiar versions of those words that made sense. Also Monkeys have tails—they gave him a design more reminiscent of a monkey than an ape, so people expect a tail

My aunt is a great believer in the Mandela effect and she insists LEGO used to be spelled leggo. My mom thinks she has it confused with the TV commercials saying “le’ggo my eggo”

as much as I want to think it’s only ego, there’s absolutely no way SO many people independently of each other remember the fruit of the loom logo had a cornucopia

…granted there’s absolutely no way the solution to this conundrum is an alternate universe lmao

I make an active choice to believe I got catapulted into another dimension because that’s more entertaining and interesting than being slightly wrong, thank you very much!

The human brain has a tendency to see what it expects to see. That’s why most people don’t notice I’ve been deliberately misspelling Untied States for over a year. The brain just assumes it says what they expect it to say

Agent Smith, everybody.

That is literally how i learned what a cornucopia was. I asked my mom what fruit it was

Think probably what happened is the packaging had the cornucopia on it and it was very large and obvious and now no one has a sealed pack of underwear from the 90s

Yeah that one was a real mindfuck to me too. I haven’t seen all of these as a kid, as I’m not from the states. We don’t get all that many fruit of the loom shirts here, dit from the ones I saw I was sure about the cornucopia.

Blue and purple must have rocked your world.

I think a lot of these can be explained as wires being crossed with mixed memories. Memories of the Jiffy boxes in the cupboard next to Jif peanut butter might have mixed things up to where people misremember whether there was ever a Jiffy peanut butter.

Chick-fil-A, same thing. Being a kid and thinking “wow that’s a weird way to spell it” about the “fil-A” part and somehow blending it into believing it was about the “Chick” part. Looney Tunes, Froot Loops, Berenstain Bears, all similar processes.

The Sinbad Shazaam movie is almost certainly a mashup of a memories of Shaq’s Kazaam, the Sinbad cartoon movie from 1992, and Sinbad dressing like a Mediterranean/middle eastern pirate in All That.

The thing I cannot explain, though, is the Fruit of the Loom cornucopia. I remember it that way, and I can’t find anything like that.

Yes, Jiffy is a very popular and inexpensive brand of corn bread mix, in groceries all over down here.

pro-tip: putting image URLs in your comment like this: ![](URL) makes the image show up in your comment rather than just the URL

(function() {
    Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('a')).filter(e => isImageUrl(e.href)).forEach(imageLink => {
        var imageElement = document.createElement('img');
        imageElement.src = imageLink.href;
        imageLink.after(imageElement);
        imageLink.style.display = 'none'
    });
})();

function isImageUrl(input){
    var url = new URL(input.toLowerCase());
    return url.pathname.endsWith('.jpg')
        || url.pathname.endsWith('.png')
        || url.pathname.endsWith('.gif');
}

(function() {
    console.log('script loaded');
    setInterval(findAndReplaceImageLinks, 10);
})();

function findAndReplaceImageLinks(){
    Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('a')).filter(e => isImageUrl(e.href)).forEach(imageLink => {
        if (imageLink.classList == 'fst-italic link-dark link-opacity-75 link-opacity-100-hover'){ return; }

        //console.log(imageLink)
        var imageElement = document.createElement('img');
        imageElement.src = imageLink.href;
        imageLink.after(imageElement);
        imageLink.remove();
        console.log('image replaced');
    });
}

function isImageUrl(input){
    var url = new URL(input.toLowerCase());
    return url.pathname.endsWith('.jpg')
        || url.pathname.endsWith('.png')
        || url.pathname.endsWith('.gif');
}

This one is a brand of peanut butter, I believe.

Especially in the early ones; they were basically ads to sell music from the Warner music catalog.

I never got it as a kid, partly because it was a difficult pun for that age. I didn’t know the word tune nor would I later pronounce it like that. The first forms of that word, I ran into, were radio tuner and car tuning, nothing I’d associate with music

I wonder how much they’re paying you to say that.

Except for a few

The man would have you believe it’s always been Febreze, one e.

My aunt tried to “prove” the Mandela effect to me by asking how I remember the spelling of KitKat. I misremembered it with a hyphen. What she fails to understand is it proves nothing to me because I never claimed to have perfect memory
