13 Mandela Effect Examples That Make You Think

The first time I heard the term "Mandela Effect" was in September when Shane Dawson made a video titled Scary Conspiracy Theoriescentered around this idea of the Mandela Effect. I was intrigued, but didn't give much thought into it. A few days ago, my younger brother showed me a video he found that had some more examples of the Mandela Effect that really got me thinking into this. If you're unfamiliar with the term "Mandela Effect," let me explain. The Mandela Effect is a term given to when a group of people all remember a detail incorrectly. There are many theories that state this is proof of an alternate universe existing.

Here are a few examples of common "misremembered" details that really made me question if I have a bad memory, or if there really is evidence of someone mysterious behind it all.


1. BerenstAin Bears

I swear it has always been the BerenstEin bears. I will fight you on this.


2. It's a beautiful day in THIS neighborhood

Mister Rogers' Neighborhood was one of my favorite shows as a child, and when someone asked me what they theme song was I say "its a beautiful day in THE neighborhood," which is how I vividly remember it.


3. Sex AND the City

I vividly recall it being Sex IN the City!


4. NO, I am your father

OK, I'll be honest, I've never seen Star Wars, however, everyone says LUKE, I am your father. I thought that was the line in the movie!


5. MAGIC mirror on the wall

You have to admit you have always went around saying MIRROR, mirror on the wall!" I was Snow White for Halloween when I was younger and I have a video of myself saying it the "wrong" way.


6. Chartreuse is a yellow-green color?

I always thought it was a dark pink or maroon color?


7. Life WAS like a box of chocolates

Don't lie, you've always said "life IS like a box of chocolates."


8.Interview with THE Vampire

It isn't Interview with A Vampire?


9. Good evening, Clarice

As a huge fan of Silence of the Lambs, I have always quoted "Hello, Clarice."


10. Looney TUnes

Why isn't it TOOns...like carTOONS? This is especially weird to me, because there is a show called Tiny Toon.


11. Febreze only has one "e"?

Doesn't FebreEze make more sense?


12. ChicK-Fil-A

This is one I don't think many people will agree with. Growing up, I vividly remember it being Chic-fil-A, and when my friends started working at Chick-fil-A, I realized it was spelled with a "k." I just thought it was a simple misremembered detail. However, when I was doing research on The Mandela Effect, I came across this theory and I had to include it.


13. If you build it, HE will come

A fan of Field of Dreams anyone? I recall the saying going, "if you build it, THEY will come."


Okay, maybe I am crazy and these are all just things I misremembered in my head. However, isn't it weird that so many people have misremembered these as well? Maybe, just maybe, the theory is right. Maybe there is an alternate universe that caused small details in our lives to have changed over the years? What do you think?

It happens to all of us, the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas the catch up with you.

Thanksgiving Break is most likely everyone’s favorite break during the fall semester. You get to go home and reminisce with all your high school friends. That diet you’ve been on for the past month goes out the window, and you get to eat until you put yourself into a food coma. There’s no rush on homework and you can just lie in bed and Netflix to your heart’s content. To me that sounds like an ideally wonderful break, and totally stress-free.

Grey's Anatomy

Even Shonda Rhimes, winning creator and executive producer of the hit TV shows Grey's Anatomy, Private Practice, Scandal, How to Get Away with Murder, and The Catch agrees that relationships with fictional characters are real. In her book, The Year of Yes she states, "I have spent more time with Meredith and Christina then many of my actual friends...When you watched TV, even spending a full hour with Christina once a week, you were likely spending more time with her then you spent with most people in your life. That relationship was real."
