The Mandela Effect, named famously after Nelson Mandela, is a term for when a large group of people remembers a detail specifically when later they find out it was never true at all. The most famous example is the death of Nelson Mandela’s in 2013. “Didn’t Nelson die in the 1980’s? I remember him dying in Prison” Well, many people thought the same thing until news broke out that Nelson Mandela had died of a respiratory infection in his home- in 2013.

This isn’t the only detail The Mandela Effect has affected. Many people also remember “Sex In The City” however it’s always been “Sex AND The City”, Chartreuse is a yellow-green color, not a pinkish-red, Curious George never had a tail, and “Loony Toons” has always been “Loony Tunes”

These don’t even begin to shed a light on the affect the Mandela Effect has had on our lives as we thought we knew it. I’ll leave some links at the end of this article for some of my absolute favorite videos and articles if you want to find out more. But- let's just imagine what this means for our universe as a whole. Some believe that every time something small changes, we are crossing into an “alternate universe” others believe that it’s the Illuminati.

So what do you think? Do you remember anything specifically that turns out to be completely different? Let me know! I’m always learning and building my own list of Mandela Effects, maybe I’ll bring this back in the future. Below is a quick list of some references to learn more!
