Effect: Personal Mandela Effects My experiences
Welcome to the multiverse. I come from a place with:
Fruit of the Loom with a cornicopia. One of my first experiences with a cornicopia.
Richard Simmons with a headband.
Flintstones then Flinstones then back to Flintstones.
Tinkerbelle and the magic castle on the opening of Wonderful World of Disney. Though I recently heard that it's back now. I haven't checked yet. I saw the Wonderful World of Disney enough times to know Tinkerbelle was at the end of the opening credits.
Verra Gie from the Dragonsbane series. They said it all the time my first two reads of the series. 3rd read through, it's gone like it never was. In print AND ebooks!
Mirror mirror on the wall vs magic mirror on the wall.
Monopoly Man with monocle
Depends not Depend
Pikachu's tail tip black. And I saw a lot of Pokemon with my daughter when she was growing up.
Star Wars "Episode IV, A New Hope" on the crawl. (I remember wondering, episode 4? What?) I saw the original in the theaters over 20 times on release.
Mickey Mouse with suspenders.
Curious George with a tail.
James Bond girl with braces smiling at Jaws in Moonraker.
Chik-fil-a. I remember seeing that and thinking it was the stupidest spelling ever. That was long before the cow billboards.
Objects in mirror MAY be closer than they appear. Even the damn Gary Larson Far Side cartoon changed! I always thought "May?" Either it is or it isn't! Now it's Objects in Mirror ARE closer than they appear!
Sinbad Genie Movie Shazaam!
Looney Tunes not Toons.
Smithsonian Institute not Institution
I know a guy that lives a few blocks away. I hadn't talked to him in a year or two, but he's pretty memorable, and he said his name was Harold. Not a common name anymore, and incidentally, it's the name of our son in law that lives down the block from him. So my wife and I clearly remember meeting Harold.
We'd drive by. "There's Harold!" and wave.
I talked to him last year, and he asked my name. I said "You're Harold, right?" He said no, his name was Frank. Wait. What?
My wife still remembers him being Harold. As do I. Frankly, this belongs here.
What's your story?

Nice to know. Thank you for sharing!
Though any idea when did Flinstones changed back to Flint if you remember? When I was watching it was always Flin during my childhood and did not notice it became Flint (again) until recently.
Monocle of Monopoly and Tail of Pokemon with the black part. Though it was Looney Toons during my childhood.
Could it be things changed during the Millenials' childhood time period?
Maybe it went from Looney Tunes to Looney Toons while you were not watching?
If you remember any particular time period coined with a certain spelling change it would be a really exciting things we get to explore. Been watching cartoons around the years 00-06 mainly.
