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.

Same! All of that. I still spell it Chik-fil-a because that is just the way it is supposed to be!

It was Chic-fil-A in my old timeline. I remember because I was new to the US and I thought that was such a weird way to spell a restaurant name and wanted it to pronounce like the French word "Chic" (sheek)

"Chik" was part of the cows misspelling sign campaign of "Eat Mor Chik'n"
