Have you ever vividly remembered something that never existed? It's called the Mandela Effect. There really is no way of explaining this phenomenon. It's not a false memory nor is it a conspiracy theory. In fact, many people believe that it has to do with a parallel universe. Fiona Broome, a paranormal enthusiast was the one who first brought up the idea of the Mandela Effect. It all started when she could have sworn she remembered Nelson Mandela dying in the 1980's when really he died in 2013. This is where we get the term "Mandela Effect". Online you will see many people trying to "debunk" or disprove certain Mandela Effects. How exactly are we supposed to "debunk" something that never existed? Here are 20 different Mandela Effects that you may or may not have heard of.


1. "Fruit Loops" is actually "Froot Loops?

As a kid, I ate these a lot. I still do, but I always remember it being "fruit" and not "froot".

2. "Sketchers" has no "t"

"Sketchers" was never spelled with a "T". The correct spelling is "Skechers". Is it me or does that look very wrong?

3. White Out is spelled wrongIsn't it funny that "White Out" is supposed to correct your spelling mistakes when the label itself is spelled incorrectly? "White Out" has no "h". It's actually spelled "Wite-Out".

4. Febreeze or Febreze?

You're probably thinking that it's spelled with two "E's", but you're wrong. Go look at a bottle and you'll be surprised to find out that is actually "Febreze".

5. "Hello Clarice"

If you've ever watched the movie "Silence of The Lambs" you remember his famous line "Hello Clarice", right? Well, Hannibal Lecter never said that. Who knows where we got that from, but go watch the movie or look up the scene on Youtube. That line doesn't exist.

6. "We Are The Champions"... of the world?

Indeed, Queen does say "We are the champions of the world" in the song, but do you remember how the song ends? It doesn't end with "of the world". In fact, it ends abruptly. That's not how I remember it. Don't believe me? Go listen to the song.

7. The Monopoly Man

The famous board game "Monopoly" has been around for as long as I can remember. The Monopoly Man is most famous for his monocle. But wait, what monocle? He doesn't have one.

8. Looney Tunes

I bet you think I spelled "tunes" wrong, but I didn't. It never was "Looney Toons" which doesn't make sense considered that is a carTOON show.

9. CFA

One of the most popular food chains "Chick-Fila-A" was spelled "Chic-Fil-A" at one point... or was it? It never was. This may not come as a shock to some of you, but I clearly remember it not having a "K".

10. "Life is like a box of chocolates"

This famous line quoted in the famous movie "Forrest Gump" is completely wrong. It's actually, "Life WAS like a box of chocolates". Since when is there "was" in the title? That doesn't even sound right.

11. Oscar Mayer

Almost everyone has had a hot dog from this brand, but the way we think it is spelled is completely wrong. It's actually "Oscar MEYER".

12. "Mirror Mirror On The Wall"

This famous line from the good old classic "Snow White" is not what we think it is. It's actually "Magic Mirror On The Wall". I had to go back and watch this scene again because I couldn't believe it.

13. The Berenstein Bears

This is the most popular and well-known Mandela Effect of them all. Look it up online and you'll come to find out that it's actually "The Berenstain Bears". Mind BLOWN.

14. The Flintstones

You probably think I made a grammatical error by adding in the "T", but I did not. I always remember it being "The Flinstones". Never has there been any emphasis on the word giving us the impression that it's actually spelled with a "T", but apparently it is. Maybe they changed it? I don't think so.

15. PikachuPokemon, a game, and TV show are known for the dynamic duo of Ash and Pikachu. How many of you remember him having black on his tail? I sure do, but the tail is actually, in fact, all yellow; no black line ever existed.


So what do you think? Do you believe we're living in a parallel universe? Or maybe we've switched parallel universe's over the years. I guess we'll never know since it can't be scientifically proven.

Is your mind blown 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.

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.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds.

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.
