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?

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
