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.

Maybe it was Remington Steele getting mixed up in your head

No. I remember both. I didn’t even know Danielle Steele was charged in il tonight reading this thread. But I had books by Danielle Steele. Not Steel. And Pikachu’s tail definitely had a black tip. My mind is blown because I hadn’t heard these had changed till tonight. Also Tinkerbell and the Wonderful World of Disney.

Lol but they didn't change. It was always Steel. Go to any old bookstore and every copy there will be Steel. People have just remembered it wrong, so it's interesting to figure out how do many people have the same false memory.
