I'd rather believe in unconscious interdimensional travel then accept that my memories might be wrong.

My two acceptable hypotheses:

  • We are in a simulation and these are remnants from server migration/discrepancies in the instances.
  • These are dry runs of the man seeing what history they can get away with rewriting and convince us was true.

No. I cannot create false memories. Nope. I can’t do it. I won’t listen to you. It’s not true! Nonononononononooooooooooooooooooooo! This isn’t my fault! 👉😫👈 lalalalalala

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

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 89 points 1 month ago (4 children)

It's interesting that when you see them laid out like this you can more easily see the reasons people could have come to remember this way.

For instance, conflating Jif and Skippy as essentially the same product, or getting an association of missing letters from the "eat mor chik'n" cows ad campaign.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 43 points 1 month ago

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.

Wait until people watch old shows from the 90s set in NYC, and there's these two buildings in the skyline. But when you go to NYC, those buildings DON'T EVEN EXIST!!!

Thar reminds me how I misread "Disney" as "Disnep" in their cursive logo for a long time in my childhood. Does that mean there is a Disnep dimension out there? :P

The Mandela effect is for people whose ego is so large that they believe that being catapulted into a parallel dimension without having noticed is a more plausible explanation than that they’re slightly wrong about something insignificant

[–] underscores@lemmy.zip 14 points 4 weeks ago

the panel on the right is in fact right, the weird logo stuff bothers me because.

  1. who cares ?
  2. counterfeit/fakes exist
  3. misprints
  4. actual logo changes

The typos? You better believe it, you read that wrong, but see point 3 as well.

The cornucopia was there. I swear on my life I saw it.

I'm now convinced that there was a knock-off brand that posed as Fruit of the Loom for years with the altered logo. That's the only explanation I'll accept. Mandela effect my ass.

[–] ThunderQueen@lemmy.world 24 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

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

If you’re gonna post shit like this, at least make a list for those of us who are dyslexic or neurodivergent or too damn lazy…

[–] SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone 42 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (16 children)

Left hand is what people "remember" right hand is actual reality.

Anyone who remembered it as "Looney Toons" and not "Looney Tunes" apparently missed the "Merrie Melodies" as well.

I dunno, so many of these I remember them as they actually exist.

The Pikachu one might been an influence from the Pichu design.


[–] Ezergill@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Nah, the bootleg merch we got in the post-Soviet countries had the black tail tip long before Pichu was a thing.

I recently did some digging on the fruit of the loom logo because I remember learning the word cornucopia and connecting it with the logo on my T-shirts and underwear.

Yeah, I was mistaken. The dye on some of the clothes just made the logo look like there was a cornucopia. Like the leaves on the side being brown and a tiny bit of those leaves at the top right with the small white grapes at the bottom right also looking the same brown color? It definitely looks like a cornucopia until you look very closely.

(The logo shown in the image above is a more modern one, look at the earlier ones from around the turn of this century and you’ll see it better)

Froot Loops has always been that way. Back when I was a kid, they only had three colours - red, orange, and yellow - and I remember being bothered that they had to repeat one of them. Problem got solved when they rolled out green.

Looney "Toons" is the stupidest one.

It was always a pun on toons by spelling it "Tunes" and because music is extremely prominent for it.

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.

If you're of a certain age, you can't get Oscar Mayer wrong.

My bologna has a first name. It's O-S-C-A-R. My bologna has a second name. It's M-A-Y-E-R. Oscar Mayer has a way with B-O-L-O-G-N-A

Perhaps dyslexia would explain some of these?
