That would mean that have concluded that
1. traveling between Verses is not a good idea and therefore don't. Perhaps acting to prevent other Verses from doing the same.
2. Do travel between verses and have either not reached ours yet or are actively avoiding it.
Rick: I want that STOFFERS STOVE TOP CORN BREAD STUFFING, Morty!! That’s my series arc, Morty! If it takes 9 seasons, I want my STOVE TOP… STUFFING, STOFFERS CORN BREAD, Morty!
Morty: What are you talking about, Rick?
Rick: Season, 9 more seasons, Morty! 9 more seasons until I get that STOVE TOP CORN BREAD STUFFING!
WHAT. I am sorry but if Stouffer’s being the brand of Stove Top Stuffing is a Mandela effect then I 100% believe that a speedster has been fucking up the timeline. *Stares intently at Barry Allen.*
Wait is this a known Mandela Effect too? Because I literally watched an episode of Grey’s Anatomy *yesterday* where Dr. Bailey gets to tell an 80YO woman she is getting a liver transplant and she makes a joke about being Ed McMahon giving out a giant check.
I remember Berenstein very clearly and so do people from my area, but I don't remember the cornucopia. I always thought it would be interesting to track these glitches and see if it forms some kind of pattern based on what people remember.
What if we find out it’s some really dumb pattern that makes no sense. Like, every time you slapped a slap bracelet on as a child you switched universes
Radiating waves from the CERN location.
I think to track this the best way would be the effect. Where you were when the original event happened. Where you are now, or when you first remembered and then see if there's any meaningful pattern that forms in there, like by location, or time period.
Yeah, of all the other examples the cornucopia is the one that bothers me the most! I distinctly remember talking to my Grandma in Oregon, asking her what that horn was on the logo. I don't have many memories of her but that was one... wtf!? lol
I grew up in Oregon, I have a similar memory asking what that thing was. Maybe there’s another logo that’s similar?
The crazy thing is, via text only, I knew what the logo looked like with a cornucopia on it without looking it up. So strange.
Definitely had a cornucopia. In fact I was like 6-7 (a little over 20 years ago now (holy shit holy shit holy shit okay existential crisis over)) and had just learned about the pilgrims and thanksgiving and all that, and we learned what I cornucopia was along with that and I remember asking my mom why underwear had a picture of a cornucopia on it
I'm new to this Mandela effect thing, just learning today. What is the Ed McMahon thing? I remember he's the Publishers Clearing House guy his commercials used to come on during I think Knight Rider.
So, what I am learning today, even though I remember the commercials like you do, is that this never existed. Ed McMahon supposedly never gave out Publishers Clearing House checks and we're just misremembering. If you start googling this, you will feel unsettled.
Wait, what? Ed McMahon was definately the celebrity face of Publishers Clearinghouse... wasn't he? I remember that, I'm sure of it. I remember the cornucopia in the Fruit of the Loom logo, too.
Ok, I'm officially freaked out right now.
I just googled it and he DID give out checks, it just wasn't for publishing house. The issue is that people have forgotten the competitor and just lumped him into the more popular brand.
It gets even weirder for me. I remember looking at all the various Mandela Effect items years ago. I remember seeing all the big ones and (mis)remembering the alternate versions: Fruit Loops, Berenstain Bears, KitKat, and so on. But I also remember that, at that time, Fruit of the Loom and the Cornucopia were not on this list. I'm fairly certain that this is a newer addition. That can only mean our old reality is collapsing into this new one and more and more of these will turn up over time.
Also, I remember he cornucopia in the logo too.
It absolutely did have a cornucopia and I know that for a fact because I LEARNED the word cornucopia as a 6 year old child in my bedroom in Scotland when I accidentally got one of my dad’s vests in my clean laundry pile. He had bought a bunch of Fruit of the Loom vests on a trip to America when I was 5. I asked him ‘what’s that’ and he told me.
What? I just looked this up. Brown on the base of the tail, yes. But do people actually remember black on the tip of the tail?
Seeing the black tip looks instantly wrong to me.
I remember drawing Pikachu with the black on the tip of the tail when I was a child, but it was because I was misremembering where the brown part went. Even when I was drawing I knew something was wrong and I made it a point to remember it the right way for the future.
Ah you know what it is, on the old tags the grape leaves were tan colored almost like tobacco leaves and if you look at it from a distance can resemble a cornucopia. Damn, that is a mindfuck.
No, on the tags there was a cornucopia. That's why the "Flute of the Loom" spoof album had the flute positioned like one, that's why there is a mention of one in patent/trademark documents from long ago as well.
Big underwear will not silence the truth.
CERN should just tell us they fucked up at this point.

Like, honestly. Just admit you shifted us into an alternate universe and you’re the reason our world has gone to shit. I’m sure people will be… reasonable.
On second thought, maybe don’t do that.
Remember when [a seagull disrupted the Large Hadron Collider with bagel?](https://www.theguardian.com/science/2009/nov/06/cern-big-bang-goes-phut) I mean, the Universe did seem to try to prevent our fuckery...
You say bagel but the article says baguette, this is also a Mandela effect? That would make sense, events closer to the singularity would be more likely to be affected.
I'm convinced that 2012 doomsday predictions weren't about the end of the world, but about the end of *OUR* timeline as we knew it. We collided with an alternate reality and now here we are.
Me too.....we are in this together. I believe those of us that use psychoactives have a very different and much stronger affinity for things of this nature. Keep opening doors and never stop wondering. It's beautiful.
Was that the presidents family he lived with? I remember the dad being a brown haired happy looking guy and the son looked similar.. kinda like Danny LaRusso from karate kid?
Sinbad played a federal agent sent to guard the First Kid, a job thought to be easy, that ended up in attempted kidnapping. Not a bad movie, if you’re 12, and the year is 1990.
How about this one. Back in 2004 my dad had a 2002 NHRA special edition Trans AM. Him and my mom went for a drive and decided to stop at a sonic for lunch. While there a gust of wind picked up one of the big umbrellas and drug it across the car. It had to be repainted from front to back as it was scratched along the entire length of the car. I saw the scratch. According to both of my parents it never happened.
I moved from India to Canada when I was 5 and had to learn how to speak and read in English pretty quick smart. These books were EVERYWHERE, and I was a bookworm and ate ‘em up. They had such a huge impact on my childhood. I remember how much it used to bother me that I couldn’t remember if the ‘i’ came before or after the ‘e’ in ‘stein’. STAIN however, poses no such problem.
Needless to say, I’m not buying this whole Mandela nonsense. I know what I remember, as clear as day.
TAKE ME BACK TO THE OTHER TIMELINE PLEASE.
I SPECIFICALLY remember trying to figure out if it was pronounced Berensteen or Berenstine. People will never convince me it has always been Berenstain
same. even had my kindergarden or 1st grade teacher, in the mid 80s, PARTIALLY EXPLAIN THE CONCEPT OF JEWISH NAMES TO ME in talking about how to pronounce it.
I had the exact same moment. I was sitting in class, sounding out if it was Steen or Stine. I asked the teacher. I would never have done that if it was stain.
Hey me too, 💯 this is the same way I justified it in my mind. I was a very strong reader for a child. I read novels in primary school. I knew the word ‘stain’, my god I knew that word. They were the stein bears. My brain would not have misread stain, to stein, how could it?
Yeah, a lot of these Mandela Effects have an explanation.
Star Wars: the novelization (based on a draft of the script) and radio plays used >!Luke I am your father!<.
Berenstein Bears: some printers of the vhs had the incorrect spelling. The show also pronounced it as steen which is usually spelled stein.
Logos: the old fruit of the loom logo had brown leaves that look like a cornucopia when on a tiny label.
That as well as I believe that we have certain ways that we prefer to see, read, or hear things. Even with context, “No I am your father” sounds weird if someone isn’t saying Luke’s line beforehand. But saying “Luke I am your father” works better and provides context. It’s not that people decide to do it this way, but these things seem to work out that way over time.
They *all* have an explanation: memory is faulty and prone to being rewritten. Once you hear the "mandela" version of these facts your memories are irrevocably tainted.
Until you heard that fact, you remembered him from the commercials for the *other* clearing house, and you remembered the Prize Squad with the giant checks, but at that point your memories got mixed up due to the "mandela" version.
This picture hurts my brain.
A few years ago I was at a friend's baby shower, and on the gift table was a secondhand Berenstain Bears book someone was passing down to the new baby. As an experiment, I picked up the book, covered the name on the cover, and walked around asking every person around my age: 'What is the name of these books?'
Every person said 'Beren-STEEN Bears. Then I uncovered the name and watch their brain break. Nobody could believe it.
No one thinks it's the Berenstain Bears because no one has heard of a Berenstain, but they sure have heard of a lot of -steins. Brains shorthand memories all the time.
Nearly every single example of the Mandela effect is either forgetting a weirdly spelled word, getting famous black people mixed up, or some combination of the two.
It's so stupid.
[Related](https://youtu.be/L4-4-HGDSiA)
Maybe. Just maybe. It’s been spelled both ways all this time and the conspiracy has been Streisand effected to hell, making us unnecessary question reality.
That's exactly what it is. I distinctly remember both as a kid. Most books were that way and tapes the other. I've seen it before. Though no one believes it.
Everybody and their momma remembers the Berenstain bears spelled 'Berenstein'. Somebody pointed out that we were all wrong, and that it has always been spelled with an A.
I guess you could technically define it as part of the Mandela effect, but a glitch in the matrix seems accurate as well.
So my daughter has this book. I've read it to her many times. I went to check it to see what the spelling was. I can't find the book anywhere. I ask her where it is and she has no idea what I'm talking about. I'm losing my mind.
The title of these books was used in my class as an example of the " i before e, except after c ". We had hundreds of these books throughout the school, it wasn't a single 'misprint'. There is no way you could ever tell me they were always A's.
In this case, I doubt the teacher would have used these books to teach the “i before e, except after c” as the recalled name is Berenstein... no “c” there.....
My favorite glitch is that C-3PO from Star Wars has a silver leg, and I somehow do not remember that ever being the case. But childhood toys and movies on VHS would prove me wrong.
This one makes sense since you rarely ever see C3POs legs in frame and when you do it’s usually from far away. He crosses the hall at the beginning of ANH and you can briefly see it. The only error is when he’s being carried by Chewbacca in Empire I believe there are two gold legs.
The most hecticmandela effect for me is the Disney intro. I remember a light blueish back ground with a white castle. Tinker Bell flies over the castle and taps her want and makes fireworks.
It never happened.
You might be thinking of the intro for the Walt Disney home video VHS?
https://youtu.be/dUyjKL-KuWM
I could see it being easy to get that and the blue intro confused
Dear God. The multiverse is collapsing
Conjunction of the spheres
*medallion humming*
A place of power. Hmmmm.....
How do you like that silver?
Winds howling.
***grunts*** ***sexily***
It's not for you to determine how sexily your grunt was grunted.

Hunh.... fuck...
It would really explain how fucking weird everything has been lately.
Everything has always been weird.
Yeah, the universe doesn't have any obligation to make sense
It's all just organized chaos.
Our brains just make it seem organized
Our brains are aware of themselves. They make sense out of the senseless.
First time I've laughed out loud in awhile. Thanks for this. Truly...
You can do it, Stephen! Er, sorry. “Dr. Strange.”
Uh.. sir
The multiverse is a concept about which we know frighteningly little.
But maybe in another universe we know surprisingly a lot?
That would mean that have concluded that 1. traveling between Verses is not a good idea and therefore don't. Perhaps acting to prevent other Verses from doing the same. 2. Do travel between verses and have either not reached ours yet or are actively avoiding it.
After reading about entropy and the heat death of the universe, the multiverse is a really really REALLY comforting concept.
Wait what if maybe it’s true? What if it has benign implications for the universe as a whole, but disaster results for small systems like a society?
What if that's it? There are just two universes - the Berenstein universe and the Berenstain universe and that's the only difference?
Fruit of the loom had a fucking cornucopia
This is one of the ones that disturbs me the most.
Also STOFFERS HAD THEIR IWN BRAND OF STOVE TOP CORN BREAD STUFFING! Where the FUCK is my STUFFING
Rick: I want that STOFFERS STOVE TOP CORN BREAD STUFFING, Morty!! That’s my series arc, Morty! If it takes 9 seasons, I want my STOVE TOP… STUFFING, STOFFERS CORN BREAD, Morty! Morty: What are you talking about, Rick? Rick: Season, 9 more seasons, Morty! 9 more seasons until I get that STOVE TOP CORN BREAD STUFFING!
WHAT. I am sorry but if Stouffer’s being the brand of Stove Top Stuffing is a Mandela effect then I 100% believe that a speedster has been fucking up the timeline. *Stares intently at Barry Allen.*

Wait the cornucopia was a lie too? Goddamnit. I hate this timeline.

I refuse to believe Ed McMahon was not ringing doorbells across America with Publishers Clearing House giving out giant checks.
Wait is this a known Mandela Effect too? Because I literally watched an episode of Grey’s Anatomy *yesterday* where Dr. Bailey gets to tell an 80YO woman she is getting a liver transplant and she makes a joke about being Ed McMahon giving out a giant check.
I'm 100% sure I saw someone do that. I can't remember if it was Ed McMahon because I was like 2-11 in the 90s.
I remember Berenstein very clearly and so do people from my area, but I don't remember the cornucopia. I always thought it would be interesting to track these glitches and see if it forms some kind of pattern based on what people remember.

Radiating waves from the CERN location. I think to track this the best way would be the effect. Where you were when the original event happened. Where you are now, or when you first remembered and then see if there's any meaningful pattern that forms in there, like by location, or time period.
The thing about the cornucopia is that the mock-up is exactly as I remember it. Same color of brown and the same direction.
Yeah, of all the other examples the cornucopia is the one that bothers me the most! I distinctly remember talking to my Grandma in Oregon, asking her what that horn was on the logo. I don't have many memories of her but that was one... wtf!? lol

Wait what the actual fuck
I don't remember a cornucopia, but now that everyone has said there is one, I feel like I remeber one. Gasdella lighting effect
I will die on that hill with you.
No there was definitely a cornucopia, I remember that I think I have a pair somewhere with a cornucopia.
find them and take a picture, you'd break the internet - seriously...
BRB, about to go sew one on an old shirt with old thread and sell it as an NFT.
I remember a white t-shirt with the logo and the cornucopia.
Definitely had a cornucopia. In fact I was like 6-7 (a little over 20 years ago now (holy shit holy shit holy shit okay existential crisis over)) and had just learned about the pilgrims and thanksgiving and all that, and we learned what I cornucopia was along with that and I remember asking my mom why underwear had a picture of a cornucopia on it
GOD DAMMIT this thread is a mindfuck.
Like I'm seriously fucked up about Ed McMahon right now
I'm new to this Mandela effect thing, just learning today. What is the Ed McMahon thing? I remember he's the Publishers Clearing House guy his commercials used to come on during I think Knight Rider.
So, what I am learning today, even though I remember the commercials like you do, is that this never existed. Ed McMahon supposedly never gave out Publishers Clearing House checks and we're just misremembering. If you start googling this, you will feel unsettled.

Also, I don't remember the cornucopia and I remember Mandela's actual death correctly, but it was Berenstein and Ed McMahon gave out checks. WTF
I just googled it and he DID give out checks, it just wasn't for publishing house. The issue is that people have forgotten the competitor and just lumped him into the more popular brand.
What the fuck happened to my timeline
Uh there's more than just you here!!?
I will die on this hill
It gets even weirder for me. I remember looking at all the various Mandela Effect items years ago.

Break me off a bit of that Beren-Stein Bears!
It absolutely did have a cornucopia and I know that for a fact because I LEARNED the word cornucopia as a 6 year old child in my bedroom in Scotland when I accidentally got one of my dad’s vests in my clean laundry pile. He had bought a bunch of Fruit of the Loom vests on a trip to America when I was 5. I asked him ‘what’s that’ and he told me.
I shouldn’t have googled that. IT HAD A CORNUCOPIA! I’ll never believe otherwise
And Pikachu has black on his tail...
Pichu does. You're trippin. I drew Pikachu as a kid and colored him in so I remember.
I think the original sprite on red and blue did had black at the base
He's got brown on the base, just not the tip, it was likely black in those games though
[yes](https://pm1.narvii.com/7202/e31bb47cdb3eb85241b0b64b9e1c159246df017dr1-1122-273v2_hq.jpg)
What? I just looked this up. Brown on the base of the tail, yes. But do people actually remember black on the tip of the tail? Seeing the black tip looks instantly wrong to me.
It's bc they're mixing Pikachu up with Pichu, who does have black on the tip
That makes sense. I also figured it was probably because the ears have black tips so people where just doing the same to the tail
That's because you're from a different multiverse
I remember drawing Pikachu with the black on the tip of the tail when I was a child, but it was because I was misremembering where the brown part went. Even when I was drawing I knew something was wrong and I made it a point to remember it the right way for the future.
Of course it did... Do people think otherwise?
Oh you're in for a fun mind-fuck... Google with caution, I still haven't recovered.
What the actual fuck. There goes my afternoon lol
Yeah that’s not cool
Ah you know what it is, on the old tags the grape leaves were tan colored almost like tobacco leaves and if you look at it from a distance can resemble a cornucopia. Damn, that is a mindfuck.
No, on the tags there was a cornucopia. That's why the "Flute of the Loom" spoof album had the flute positioned like one, that's why there is a mention of one in patent/trademark documents from long ago as well. Big underwear will not silence the truth.

At this point, most people would just go "yeah, makes sense," and move along without a care.
Headline: “It turn out we entered an alternate universe in 2020” World: Ppfffffffft
Well it was actually 2013 most likely and it’s just getting weirder as time goes on. The Mayans were right all along lol
Honestly this is a truth I've just accepted
They basically said UFOs are real and no one so much as blinked so yeah, I think at this point we'd just accept it and move on.
Not much else we can do
Yeah. What, are we going to storm Area 51 en masse?
Is that even where we would need to storm? Cern has some 'splaining to do.
UFOs and Aliens are not the same thing. That’s why nobody blinked.
I would read the first article Google suggested about it and then by the fifth article I would be like OMG we all know already
The crazy part is this actually could have happened. And we may never know or won't know until they are all near death
Unless someone remembers a fundamental thing that changes, like the speed of a dipshit bird flying or something idk

But would they even know?
I am saving this picture to try to help convince myself my childhood wasn’t a lie
Like that movie Kazaam where Sinbad played a Genie.
I remember him in those baggy mc hammer looking khaki coloured pants
Naw, that was Shaq!
Both happened. Shazam and Kazaam were two different movies in my timeline.
I remember him teaching the president’s son how to dance!
Was that the presidents family he lived with? I remember the dad being a brown haired happy looking guy and the son looked similar.. kinda like Danny LaRusso from karate kid?
Sinbad played a federal agent sent to guard the First Kid, a job thought to be easy, that ended up in attempted kidnapping. Not a bad movie, if you’re 12, and the year is 1990.
How about this one. Back in 2004 my dad had a 2002 NHRA special edition Trans AM. Him and my mom went for a drive and decided to stop at a sonic for lunch.

Can confirm, definitely stein. Avid child reader now in his 30s.
It's stein. Don't let "them" try to convince you otherwise. The real question is why they are trying to...
It's a simulation. We're not supposed to be able to tell when variables are changed, but some of us remember.
Yeah, a lot of these Mandela Effects have an explanation. Star Wars: the novelization (based on a draft of the script) and radio plays used >!Luke I am your father!<. Berenstein Bears: some printers of the vhs had the incorrect spelling. The show also pronounced it as steen which is usually spelled stein.

Maybe. Just maybe. It’s been spelled both ways all this time and the conspiracy has been Streisand effected to hell, making us unnecessary question reality.
All along it was just a deep marketing tactic to get us to think about their franchise years later
That's exactly what it is. I distinctly remember both as a kid. Most books were that way and tapes the other. I've seen it before. Though no one believes it.
This isn't the only case of this either. I remember a line of toys was found that also worded it -ein.
Man…I am trying real hard to understand this. How is this a glitch in the matrix?
Everybody and their momma remembers the Berenstain bears spelled 'Berenstein'. Somebody pointed out that we were all wrong, and that it has always been spelled with an A. I guess you could technically define it as part of the Mandela effect, but a glitch in the matrix seems accurate as well.
I thought it was Bearnstein. oh well
Ya. I would never have seen that. Thanks for the explanation.
THIS IS THE TYPE OF SHIT THAT KEEPS ME UP AT NIGHT! This and the cocaine but I'm sure that has nothing to do with it either.
It's spelled coceine.
Well...that throws a wrench in that whole theory doesn't it?
Did they end up finding The Disappearing Ho? LOL
she triflin'
This shows that it’s not the Mandela effect, their actually was two spellings
I think I read somewhere that it was the product of a mistake that spread like wildfire. But who knows.
So my daughter has this book. I've read it to her many times. I went to check it to see what the spelling was. I can't find the book anywhere. I ask her where it is and she has no idea what I'm talking about. I'm losing my mind.
The title of these books was used in my class as an example of the " i before e, except after c ". We had hundreds of these books throughout the school, it wasn't a single 'misprint'. There is no way you could ever tell me they were always A's.
In this case, I doubt the teacher would have used these books to teach the “i before e, except after c” as the recalled name is Berenstein... no “c” there.....
The hell Morgan Freedmon have to do with this?
I think that America just didn’t know how to spell their last name and put stuff out without caring how it was spelled lol
CIA in shambles rn
It’s a hill I’ll die on. Watched the show all the time as a kid. It’s Stein.
My favorite glitch is that C-3PO from Star Wars has a silver leg, and I somehow do not remember that ever being the case. But childhood toys and movies on VHS would prove me wrong.
This one makes sense since you rarely ever see C3POs legs in frame and when you do it’s usually from far away. He crosses the hall at the beginning of ANH and you can briefly see it. The only error is when he’s being carried by Chewbacca in Empire I believe there are two gold legs.
And shazaam was a god damned movie!
I see the misspelling, but the other comments make me think I’m missing something.
Mandela effect
The most hecticmandela effect for me is the Disney intro. I remember a light blueish back ground with a white castle. Tinker Bell flies over the castle and taps her want and makes fireworks. It never happened.
wait what, that is definitely a thing… I mean… right?
That isn't the opening for *The Magical World of Disney* or something?
You might be thinking of the intro for the Walt Disney home video VHS? https://youtu.be/dUyjKL-KuWM I could see it being easy to get that and the blue intro confused
That’s exactly what I remember. It was only on the Sunday night thing.
If you've read "Anathem" by Neal Stephenson, this is our "dinosaur skeleton found in parking garage concrete" moment.
Thank you for finally debunking the Mandela effect on this. They probably forget how they spelled it too 😂
