Most Common Mandela Effects

How do you Remember These?

Most Common Mandela Effects

The Mandela Effect is an unexplained phenomena that has been gaining more attention recently. It is the occurrence where many--and when I say many, I mean a lot--people remember certain things, whether that be movies, logos, or shows, that showcase in a particular way, but it actually turns out to be not true.

The term "Mandela Effect" came about when people remembered Nelson Mandela dying in the 80s while he was in prison and even recalled seeing clips on his funeral on TV. However, Mandela actually passed away inn December of 2013.

1. The Berenstain Bears

This being one of the most common talked about Mandela Effect; a lot of people remember Berenstain being spelt Berenstein.

2. "Luke, I am your father."

One of the most quoted lines in cinematic history, "Luke, I am your father." did not actually occur. Darth Vader actually says, "No, I am your father." Some people may just call this a misremembered line, but is it really?

3. Shazaam Movie?

A bunch of people seem to remember a movie from the 90s where Sinbad starred as a genie; yet there wasn't one. Those people who do remember the existence of Shazaam are certain that they are not confusing this movie with the one that stars Shaq as a genie, Kazaam.

4. Febreze

Another common Mandela Effect is the spelling of Febreze. Numerous amounts of people can recall it being spelt Febreeze.

5. The Monopoly Man

Don't you remember him wearing a monocle? Well he actually doesn't.

6. Sex and the City?

Most recall this show's title being Sex in the City, but in reality it is Sex and the city.

7. The Mona Lisa

This one personally freaks me out. A significant amount of people, including myself, remember Leonarda da Vinci's Mona Lisa having a sort of blank expression, but she now wears a smile??????

8. Froot Loops

A lot of people say that this cereal brand was originally spelt like so on the left, but today it is spelt how it is show on the right.

9. Looney Tunes

This one really messes with my head, considering I grew up with this show and vividly remember it being Looney Toons, not Looney Tunes. Since this show is a cartoon, it would make more sense of the show being called Looney Toons, right?

10. Mirror Mirror on the Wall

Another popular line that is quoted from a movie is from Snow White that most remember being said a certain way. The line that most of us, if not all of us, quote frequently "Mirror mirror on the wall..." is not what the evil queen actually says in the movie. She in fact says "Magic mirror on the wall..."

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
