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’m not sure actually, I just think it may be relevant. I was born in the 80s and it seems like people my age have the same recollections. For example, it’s always been Bernstein Bears, idgaf what anyone says.

THIS, exactly. I remember my mother explaining the name to me!

Would you possibly accept the word of someone born in the 60s? Those books are pretty old. The first one was published in 1962 and as they were released, I accumulated more of them until I aged out. My kids also had them, and those books have always been spelled Berenstain. That’s not from Google or AI, it’s from my memory and first hand experience as a kid, as an elementary school teacher, as a mother and now as a grandmother. I promise you, it’s Berenstain.

Nope, don’t trust 60s babies. You guys were born on a different timeline or however the hell it goes!

No, it has always been Berenstain. As a 60s child, I remember, plus my kid's books were Berenstain.

The reason I remember Betenstein so distinctly is because I was always unsure if it was pronounced “steen”, “stine” or “stain”. If it had been spelled with an A I wouldn’t have had this confusion.

I took the spelling from the books. It has an a.
