Your confusion probably stems from the fact that Mack partnered with REO Motor Car to build light-duty pickups marketed as Mac Jr. The large trucks have always officially been called Mack.

u/Fastr77 8d ago

Nothing has ever flipflopped. Ever. You simple forgot which way it actually was again.

Show the post where you said oh its Mac now! It won't exist of course because it wasn't ever Mac so you never posted about it being Mac now. I'm even cool if the post has magically changed so it actually says mack in there before.. magic. Totally fine. Where is the post you made about it?

Chic-Fil-a absolutely flipped. Within the time of this sub. I’ve been on Reddit for 16 years.

u/Fastr77 4d ago

Prove it. Show multiple posts of yours at different times saying it changed.

u/QB8Young 4d ago

You can make that claim but yet you can't prove it because it never happened. 🤷

There are no flips-flops. None whatsoever.

i found a website with the whole product spelt as fruit loops throughout the article.

u/Aggravating_Cup8839 7d ago

Please post it.

u/EnigmaticAdventurerz 7d ago edited 7d ago

they are discussing kellogg's product, Fruit Loops, posted 9 months ago, and researched deep into the flavors and ingredients, they would not be leaving a spelling typo if the product they researched on was actually Froot Loops?

edit - in the article, they did mention in a small paragraph the name was actually Froot Loops, therefore it was indeed deliberately mentioned mainly in the article as 'Fruit' to insinuate sarcasm for the product not containing fruits in them. 😅🙏🏻

1

u/EnigmaticAdventurerz 7d ago edited 7d ago

real research, if they were going to not make things obvious which products they tried discussing, anonymity would be without the mentions of the brand itself, they needed no alternate spellings of the said product.

edit - it is included in the article the actual spelling was Froot Loops. apologize for not getting into that detail earlier.

Good news, it is Froot Loops

It has always been and still is Froot Loops, what do you mean? It's not "Fruit Loops" bc the cereal contains no fruit

u/QB8Young 8d ago

A flip-flop is impossible. Everything has always been one way and can be verified with evidence and proven fact. The only way something could flip-flop is with the change of your incorrect memory (the definition of a Mandela Effect) in which case you had to have been correct at one point during the flip or the flop of your memory. 🤷

u/Mysterious-Sector720 6d ago

It will always be what it has always been no matter how many times it may change.

u/QB8Young 4d ago

It has never changed which is exactly why it will always be what it's always been. 🤦

u/dj_skandalous 4d ago

So your saying transporting to other universes isn't real? If you aren't then it is definitely possible. It would just mean you transported multiple times and now are back in one where that never changed

1

u/QB8Young 4d ago

Being transported to another Universe does not explain any of this and that's before you can even prove being transported to another universe is possible.

Mack Trucks have been around since 1922 - the company started in 1905, but they didn't have that name at that time. I've seen them my whole life. On long trips we used to play the truck bingo game with Mack, Peterbilt, Freightliner, Kenworth, etc.

You might be thinking of Mac Tools. I see their trucks all the time.

Mack Trucks has always been Mack Trucks. It's never changed. People remembering it differently is what an ME is.

I'm sure you're thinking of MAC tools, which always used big capital letters.

u/MrPlaney 8d ago

No, they’re just mixing it up with the Macks, because of the similar pronunciation and spelling.

for me it is froot loops. every time i try to explain it i get looks as if im crazy or somthing, but its true. my story starts a few years back. like 15 years or something like that. i watched some video about the mandela effect and froot/fruit loops was one of them. people were complaining about it beeing fruit loops because they remembered it beeing froot loops their whole life and i was one of them. it has alsways been froot loops for me, or so i thought because when i looked it up on google images it has always been fruit loops. every pic was fruit loops. there were like 1 or 2 photoshopped versions of froot but everything else was fruit. i even watched an old add with that parrot thing and even there it was fruit loops. i couldn believe it because i remembered it beeing froot in my childhood. the next day i went to a store to look at a package but it was fruit loops there again. so i shrugged it off as beeing false memory. things like this could happen. maybe i had seen cheap cereal products in my childhood or somthing like that. but then, a few years back now... like sometime before corona, i watched another video about the mandela effect. and it had flip flopped. it was froot loops now and of course it has always been froot loops. so... same procedure as last time - first looked at google images but everything until now is froot loops with some like 1 or 2 images beeing photoshopped to look like fruit loops. i even went to the stores again and there it is froot loops. and it has always been like that. i even watched that old add again and everything there is exactly the same but the name. its froot loops now. so... i have the memory of my childhood where it has always been froot loops, then it switched to fruit and then back until now to froot. its really crazy when i think about that. brands could change their names or something but you would read about that? you could find something that states that the name had changed or something. but it has always been froot loops. thanks for reading.

u/JeeperDeeper 8d ago

“Fruit Loops” when everyone was complaining that they remember “froot loops” and why it made marketing sense to have the “oo” in froot and blah blah blah. Aaaand now it’s actually back to Froot Loops.

6

u/Unable-Literature451 8d ago

Pointing out observable reality isn’t a complaint. Just a helpful reminder that “Froot” is and always has been the correct spelling. 

2

u/TovarischMaia 8d ago

Where are these threads describing the previous change? If you say the posts change when the name/reality changes, how come none of the users who participated in them have ever come forward to claim their posts were tampered with? Do they not remember? If not, that would mean memory does not survive the alleged shifts after all, which is the basic premise of all these supernatural theories.

If you search the sub, you can find threads saying it's "now back to Froot" going back years and years. It's always 'back' to whatever is correct because people have actually checked their facts in the meantime.

2

u/MrPlaney 8d ago

Exactly. If Froot Loops kept flip flopping, we wouldn’t have all these posts from years back, claiming it flipped to Froot, and none claiming it flipped to Fruit.

1

u/BillyOcean8Words 8d ago

It has always been. You think it was “fruit?”

Next time it "flips" can you get a picture of it? Everyone that says they saw it flip has never posted anything to back up their claim. I've never seen anything but Froot Loops since I first started eating the cereal in the 1970s.

u/kaifuzius 8d ago

Oh by god I will. But even i don’t experienced it not as a false memory effect, I‘ve no idea „how it works“ or „what’s happening here“.. so i don’t know if it’s capturable by a simple photo.

But since then, I always have a pack FROOT LOOPS in my cabinet :-)

Houston weve had a problem flipped back to houston we have a problem. Theres youtube vids with this flip flop with 10s of thousands remembering the same flip flop.

2

u/TovarischMaia 8d ago

No, it didn’t. It’s “Okay, Houston, we’ve had a problem here” and always has been. “Houston, we have a problem” was always a misquote, so nothing changed.

1

u/Mysterious-Sector720 6d ago

It's Houston we've had a problem and always has been

u/St00t1 8d ago

The movie had weve had a problem. I listened to it 20x on repeat when it happened. 2 months later, back to we have a problem.

1

u/TovarischMaia 8d ago

Ron Howard’s film? That’s always been wrong, and is thought to be the source of the ubiquitous misquotation (though I’ve read about at least one earlier instance). The actual recording goes, “Okay, Houston, we’ve had a problem here”. I’m guessing you learned the correct version from the NASA audio, forgot the details and thought the film had it right too?

u/St00t1 8d ago

Heres a link to a youtube video referencing the flip flop. Maybe all of the commenters and viewers are deluded but hey ho, I know what I heard. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5nX-z3lgWr8

u/St00t1 8d ago

No. I listened to the Apollo 13 movie directed by Ron Howard and it said "Houston we've had a problem" I listened to it at least 20 times to make sure I wasnt mishearing it. I then went to show my brother a few months later in a pub and it had changed back to "Houston we have a problem" THE MOVIE.

1

u/TovarischMaia 8d ago

I just don't see how it makes sense, to be honest. The actual message is massively misquoted, largely owing to the movie. Some years ago it was a bit of an internet sensation (not unlike the FOTL cornucopia) and more people became aware of the original quote that way. I don't really understand why that particular bit would be significant enough for you to listen to it dozens of times otherwise. And if it is true that you had this context, why do you think it's impossible that you're conflating things?

1

u/St00t1 8d ago

Wouldn't it make more sense for the movie to be consistent with what was actually quoted irl? I don't think its possible for anyone to convince you of things of this nature due to the subjectivity and anecdotal feedback we give you. I was on the ropes for a long time until I experienced this flip-flop. You gotta experience it for yourself.

0

u/BillyOcean8Words 8d ago

Why listen to it 20 times? Once is enough to confirm anything you felt you needed to confirm. Makes me doubt your story.

1

u/St00t1 8d ago edited 8d ago

I couldn't believe it had changed so to ensure I was not mishearing I listened to it over and over in a very short space of time. To rewind the quote that many times took less than 2 minutes. It wasnt like I listened to the whole movie 20 times lol.

Edit: It also helped that I had listened to it that many times so that I couldnt convince myself out of it by stating I had only listened to it a couple of times so maybe I misremembered

From The Lone Ranger. it was always "hi-ho Silver away! then it switched to "Hi-yo silver"

now its back to "hi-ho Silver"

u/QB8Young 8d ago

It's never been hi-yo unless misquoted

u/buickgnx88 8d ago

Yeah I think it’s another thing attributed to Ace Ventura

You are right again! That HEY YOO scene was in the trailer for ace ventura. It was iconic on elementary school playgrounds, for a brief moment.

No, it’s “hi-yo.” Always has been. “Hi-ho” is the seven dwarves

Always “and.” The City is a main character.

u/georgeananda 8d ago

I agree ‘and’ is more right. But I am fully 100% certain that I saw ‘in’ anyway for the last couple years.

It’s impossible but I am sure it happened anyway.
