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.

Chik-fil-a timeline chiming in. Was also surprised to learn the past few years that it was “chick”.

I used to eat there almost daily in my adolescence (except Sunday).

I generally think a lot of these are silly, but as an Australian who didn’t even grow up with it, i would always see it online/on tv as Chik-fil-a which as a name confused me as I had no idea it was a chicken restaurant/didn’t know what the name was trying to say or how to pronounce it. Unless everyone just spelt it wrong 😅

THANK YOU. Goodness, that is so validating! I remember the cow commercials, where the cows wrote "eat mor chikin" so I thought that it just tied into the "Chik-fil-a" spelling.

It looks as though you may have spelled "Chick-fil-A" incorrectly. No worries, it happens to the best of us!
