11 Insane Examples Of The Mandela Effect

When did Nelson Mandela die? Do you remember him being imprisoned in the 1980s and dying there soon after? Or do you remember his death in 2016? A considerably large chunk of people distinctly remember Nelson Mandela dying in prison, along with news coverage and a touching televised eulogy from his widow. However, Nelson Mandela went on to become the president of South Africa and didn't pass away until December 5, 2016. So where did this memory of his death come from and why do so many people remember it this way? A theory developed by the self-coined paranormal consultant, Fiona Broome, presents the idea that there are multiple universes and this memory is included in one of them. There are multiple other "false memories" that a large amount of the population remembers, despite proof of them being false.

1. The Berenstain Bears

The recent exposure of this memory is what has brought the Mandela Effect further into the public view. Many people, myself included, distinctly remember this loving family of bears being called "The Berenstein Bears." In fact, when asked without context what the bears were called, they will spell it this way first and show honest disbelief when told otherwise. So what is it: common misspelling, or proof that someone is altering our time stream?

2. Jif Peanut Butter

What about this household peanut butter brand? Many believe that their favorite peanut butter was most definitely called "Jiffy." Which one do you remember?

3. Mr. Roger's Neighborhood Theme

How do you remember the lyrics to the theme song of this show? Many remember, "It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood;" however, the official lyrics, and the lyrics Mr. Rogers sings is, "It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood." Even our favorite Mr. Rogers is being altered.

4. Darth Vader's Big Reveal

This ridiculously infamous line isn't the actual line at all. When (*spoiler alert!*) Darth Vader reveals to Luke Skywalker that he is actually his father, he actually says, "No, I am your father." Who would've guessed?

5. Sex and the City

A lot of people definitely remember this show being called "Sex in the City."

6. Chick-fil-a


How do you remember the spelling for everyone's go-to place for chicken? I am almost positive that I remember is being called Chic-fil-a and have even caught myself spelling it wrong more often that not.

7. Muhammad Ali

Many people remember this inspirational boxer dying years ago. However, these people were probably shocked to learn of his death early this past June. So where did those memories come from?

8. The Flintstones

Do you remember your favorite stone age family's name having this random "T" in it? Neither do I.

9. Looney Tunes

"Looney Tunes" or "Looney Toons?" I remember Bugs Bunny being a part of "Looney Toons," but that's just me.

10. Froot Loops

I honestly could have sworn these were called Fruit Loops, and so can countless other people!

11. "Magic Mirror on the Wall."

For as long as I can remember, I, along with everyone else, have always said, "Mirror, mirror on the wall." How did I remember this wrong?

So what do you think? Can we chalk all of these up to misspellings, mishearings, and just general misunderstandings? Or is there something greater and darker going on here?

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
