15 Examples of the Mandela Effect

So I know that this week I promised to write about the History of Cayman, but with finals it's kind of hard to focus on the subject. Because of that, the Cayman series will be postponed until next week.But for now, enjoy some of my favourite examples of the Mandela effect. For those who don't know what the Mandela Effect is, according to Snopes it can be defined as:

" The Mandela Effect is a collective misremembering of a fact or event. Various theories have been proposed to explain what causes it, some more sensible than others."

Believer or not, I still think they're really cool to look at. The most common example being the Bernstein vs Bernstain Bears conspiracy. It's cool to think one day you remember something in one way, but not just you, but others, seem to be wrong.

1. Pikachu's tail doesn't have a black tip

2. Jiffy Peanut Butter doesn't actually exist

That's right. It's always been Jif, even if we always remembered it as Jiffy.

3. Is it Seth Mcfarlane or MacFarlane










4. Fruit Loops or Froot Loops

5. Is it Ghandi or Gandhi?

6. Same with Chekov or Chekhov

I found this one today while doing a paper. Referencing the Russian poet, I typed it in as above, but quickly noticed a red squiggle under the name. I even looked to see if there was a difference between spelling between the Star Trek character and the Poet, but no. I can imagine some Trekkies are about to get mad.

7. ____, I am your father

8. The Scarecrow has a gun!

9. There are 52 states.

I might be the only one here, having not grown up in the US, but some people are remembering being taught the US has either 51 or 52 states.

10. Lucy Never actually had some "splainin' to do"

Yup, never been said in the I Love Lucy series

11. My bologna has a second name, it’s M-A-Y-E-R!

12 Gene Wilder being reported dead before 2016

14 That's all Folks!

15 Was The Thinker posed with his hand on his chin or forehead?

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
