Is there really a glitch in the matrix?

13 Mind-Blowing Examples Of The Mandela Effect

If you’ve fallen down the endless hole that is the internet, it’s more than likely you’ve come across the Mandela Effect at least once in your life. The Berenstain Bears is the popular example of this apparent parallel universe; many remember the popular children’s book series to be spelled –tein instead of –tain, and the question has caused much controversy on the internet. But is that the only example there is?

Absolutely not. There are so many more. Here are thirteen more examples

1. Pikachu’s Tale

Many people remember the famous Pokemon to have a black stripe on the end of it’s tail. But apparently the stripe never existed.

2. Life is like a box of chocolates

This wasn’t actually the famous line originally said in “Forrest Gump.” While everyone remembers it (and quotes it) as “Life is like a box of chocolates,” the movie actually says “Life was like a box of chocolates.” Don’t believe me? Watch this video.

3. Fruit Loops

Is actually Froot Loops. Not Fruit Loops.

4. Mr. Rogers Theme Song

Apparently, it’s not a beautiful day in the neighborhood — it’s a beautiful day is this neighborhood, though. Watch it here.

5. Mirror, mirror, on the wall


Who’s the fairest of them all? If you remember it like that, it’s not you. The evil queen in “Snow White” actually says: “Magic mirror on the wall, who’s the fairest of them all?”

6. “We are the Champions”

Does not end with “of the world,” like many remember it ending. The song just ends with the line “We are the champions,”

7. Curious George’s Tail

Did this curious little monkey have a tail? While many remember otherwise, Curious George doesn’t have a tail. This also completely goes against basic monkey anatomy.

8. E.T. phone home

E.T. didn’t actually say that famous line in the movie “E.T.” The direct quote is: “E.T. home phone.” In the defense of everyone who remembers it differently, Gertie immediately says “E.T. phone home” after the alien’s famous line.

9. Smokey the Bear

Is actually just Smokey Bear. You can still find photos and memorabilia on the internet with “Smokey the Bear,” but the official name of this forest fire-fighting bear is just “Smokey Bear”

10. Harry Houdini's Death

Many remember this master escape artist dying attempting one of his famous escapes, but in actuality, he died of a ruptured appendix after a student punched him.

11. Rubix Cube

I received one of these myself as a Christmas present, and I distinctly remember it being spelled with an “x.” But really it’s spelled “Rubik’s.”

12. Cup of Noodles

Guess what, the brand doesn’t actually have the word “of” in their name. Yes, that’s right: They’re just “Cup Noodles”

13. White-Out

While many of us remember this polish-smelling mistake fixer to spell white with an “h,” it’s actually spelled “Wite-Out.” Convinced yet?

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
