Tell Us Now: 14 Times We Experienced The Mandela Effect

Oh, the ways our memory has failed us.
Tell Us Now: 14 Times We Experienced The Mandela Effect

The Mandela Effect describes a circumstance in which a huge group of individuals believes something happened when it didn't. Examining the origins of the Mandela effect, as well as some well-known examples and possible explanations for this bizarre confluence of senses, can help to throw light on this peculiar phenomenon.

People believe there used to be a "Jiffy" peanut butter; however, we think they're merging Jif and its competitor, Skippy. Frankly, we still don’t believe it. Indeed, the cartoon was misspelled "Tunes," which makes almost no sense. The Berenstain Bears are a beloved family of cartoon bear family who spelled their last names with an "a."

There are plenty more examples on this mind blowing journey. Look, we know you want more.

So be active because we are sharing some examples here…

We all know personal memories may be faulty and inaccurate, but when our collective memory fails us, it can be very disconcerting. The Mandela effect occurs when numerous people have the same mistaken recollection. Here are 14 examples.
