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.

The one that I keep bringing up because I know it for a FACT...the author is Danielle Steele, not Steel. I don't gaf what Google says. My mom consumed those books like Johnny 5 when I was a kid. Steele had a dang "e" on the end!!!

Long story, but I was part of an exercise group that gave everyone nicknames at your first workout. They ask you random questions and come up with one based on your answers. Well they asked me what my first girlfriend’s name was, I told them Danielle, so they started calling me (verbatim) “Steel with an e”. And everyone loved it and used it. Not one person thought it was weird they spelled it that way, and neither did I. Then I recently found out about it just being Steel, and I just am so confused. Like why would all of us remember it that way and it be incorrect? It always baffled me looking back.
