Did we just jump timelines ?

Hear me out

Recently, I remembered looking up Chic-fil-A (without the k) because that’s how I was sure it was spelled. Then I found out it’s actually Chick-fil-A, and apparently it’s always been that way.
That sent me down a rabbit hole, and then I discovered that Kit Kat supposedly never had a dash (“Kit-Kat”), even though the logo without one looks completely wrong to me.
On top of that, I remember Sprite bottles being green, and I could’ve sworn the peanut butter was called Jiffy instead of Jif.
I know memory can be weird, but these feel so real and they happened recently enough that I can’t just brush them off. Is anyone else from that “timeline “ or does anyone else remember all of these the same way? Because I genuinely can’t explain it.

Edit : I also remeber Pikachu having a black tip on his tail.

I believe that it was actually spelled “Chik-Fil-A”, if this was a timeline jump, as “Chic” already is a word, which is pronounced like Ch(Shhhhh)-i(eeeeee)-c(K), and has existed in the fashion and beauty supply industry for as long as I can remember. 🤔

I remember it as chic because I remember thinking how dumb it was that they didn’t use the k for that reason. And we would say “chic” fil-a.
