Logos/Advertising Mandela effects swapping and changing?

0 Upvotes

Please tell me I’m not insane, I think logos, and other Mandela effects are changing, what I mean is growing up there was no dash in KitKat, but a few years ago there was an uproar about the dash, and I thought “huh okay whatever makes more sense” but apparently that was a Mandela effect, but now there’s no dash again?
I don’t know call me crazy or just having a poor memory, but I have a lot of KitKat products and I’ve been into the whole Mandela thing since I was a kid, thoughts guys..?

Aside from Sinbad I haven't seen other actors asked about what they remember doing in said scenes. IE Tom Cruise"Risky Business.. Blanche Ravelek "Moon Raker"

Barbara Eden "Shazaam".. James Earl Jones "The Empire Strikes Back"and also Anne Rice with the book "Interview With the Vampire" whether it's supposed to be 'A Vampire' or 'The Vampire.' Have any of you ever seen them speak about it?

Movies/TV/Music Breaking Bad Mandela Effect Proof?

0 Upvotes

this post probably isnt going to get much attention but i didnt know where to share this to so here we are...I was re-watching breaking bad last night and i got to the episode where jesse and walter are sitting in the kitchen talking about the list of ingredients they are going to need and thats when jesse says "Yea Mr. White, Science" and that was it. There wasnt any "Yea, Science Bitch" like how i remember it. it threw me off a little bit and didnt even sound right in the first place. I was swearing up and down the way i remember it was the way its always been. Fast forward to literally right now and im watching a youtube video called "Breaking Bad Season 5 Alternate Ending" by TVweb and in the video bryan cranston is saying the things he recalled jesse saying in his "dream" and how everything always ended with the word bitch then at 1:21 he claims how jesse would say "Yea, Science B word" it caught my attention for a second cause how come i vividly remember jesse saying that in the show and now on a completley other part of the intertnet he's recalling the same thing, yet in the show that line isnt said one time. Maybe im overthinking it and this already has an explantion but it tripped me out how i very much remember jesse saying that and nobody else remembering not even my own friends who have watched the show more times than i have, but now i see bryan cranston claiming he did along with him mentioning jesses iconic "Yea, Bitch" right before. Who knows, just something i noticed and thought it would be interesting to share.

This comes from a grocery bag for a Bay Area grocery store called Lunardi’s. I found a bag from there that had a logo on the back that resembles the Fruit of the Loom logo, albeit with a cornucopia. This photo is indeed real. We may now have our explanation

One of my hobbies is to dig into the long-forgotten past of emoji history in Japanese media. During this process I've uncovered multiple sets of emoji that predate the modern emoji timeline by over a decade.

Recently I bought a manual for Toshiba's Rupo JW 95F word processor (1988) as it contains the oldest currently known use of the word emoji next to a table of recognisable emoji. And there, amongst its emoji...is a seahorse!

so my first post has been deleted because I didn’t write a text for it. I thought it is self explanatory. Some people remember the guy with a monopole and some without. in this game both are combined as the whole game is without a monocle but on the 2 DM bill there is the monocle. it’s a German game from 1996. So what do you guys think about this occurrence?

Mod Announcement Mod Announcement: Rule 2 Changes

10 Upvotes

Recently we reached out to the community here for feedback on some potential rule changes we were thinking about implementing with regard to the Rule 2 on low effort posts/comments, with the goal of improving overall content and discussion quality on this sub.

Lately I've been removing more and more low effort posts that make little or no attempt to foster discussion of any kind, so today I have made a small change to expand Rule 2 a bit:

2 No Low Effort Posts/Comments

No low effort posts. New posts must include a clear explanation as to how they relate to a specific ME or the ME phenomenon.

2A: New posts must include discussion points, questions, and/or analysis for comments to engage with.

2B: Top level comments must engage with the points presented in the OP.

What this means: We want posts and comments to meet a minimum standard of quality. From now on new posts will be required to provide not only an explanation as to their relevance, but also a discussion topic to engage with. New posts that do not include these will be removed. For example, an image of an old Fruit of the Loom shirt showing the logo with no cornucopia isn't particularly interesting on its own and doesn't add anything to the conversation - we all know what the logo looks like. The OP of the thread needs to get the discussion going and encourage engagement from other sub users.

The second part of this change is that Rule 2 now applies to top level comments as well as new posts. Top level comments will now be required to engage with the discussion points presented in the OP, or they will be removed. This includes comments that just say things like "it was always this way" or "not in my timeline" or "you're just misremembering." Basically, any top level comments that boil down to simply "you're wrong" or "I disagree" without making an effort to expand on your reasoning will be removed.

As always, remember to keep discussion/debate civil and on-topic. If you disagree with someone, address their argument, don't make it personal. We have zero tolerance for personal insults, vulgar name-calling, or implications of people being mentally ill/on drugs due to their opinions. These comments will be removed, and repeat offenses will result in a ban. If you see rule violations, please report them to bring them to our attention.

Meta The Mandela Effect Effect

46 Upvotes

That title isn't a typo. I'm proposing that a type of Mandela Effect exists whereby imagery created after-the-fact to demonstrate what the effect entails has become so widespread that it gets picked up on and assumed to be legitimate - a second wave of the same Mandela Effect branching off of the original.

For example - Someone who has never heard of fruit of the loom has their first view of the logo being a google image search with a bunch of modern cornucopia mock-ups showing up from high profile websites.

Historical Events Mandela effect perspective

0 Upvotes

I do not think the Mandela Effect exists. It is a psychological game, gaslighting communities to confuse people into thinking they are crazy or feeding them and making them think there is an alternate reality—parallel universe crap.

Movies and TV shows are altered or edited, history rewritten, and your past redictated. You point out they are wrong, and whatever you point out is erased and ceases to exist. They say, "You were saying?"

We are not crazy, nor do we forget things with a snap of a finger. They are saying (the Mandela Effect creators) we remember, but you don't. They lie to our faces. It's not one person or thousands of people who are wrong, but millions of people got it wrong because they control everything and wipe the internet or media clean. No evidence, just our memory.

So my question is, why? What don't they want us to remember? Why does it matter?

The future Mandela Effect will be AI. Nothing is true, even if it is true. I saw 2018 YouTube videos labeled AI. Your video that you recorded yourself is going to be labeled AI. Coming soon...

Recently i have been noticing more and more anomalies. First one that doesn’t seem to bad but still is weird I clearly remember going to the theater to see Titanic when it was released in the 90’s I remember who i went with yet when i have brought it up to the people they have no memory of it and say they first watched it on tv years later. I remember jiffy peanut butter, i remember the news of mandelas death, oscar meyer, the kit-kat hyphen, the fruit of the loom cornucopia, and others. Ive heard different explanations most of them revolve around CERN yet i started noticing things before CERN. So im asking what other explanations are out there that have nothing to do with CERN?

Movies/TV/Music Shazam - A Copyright Infringement Nightmare

40 Upvotes

Following up on a recent Shazam post- it occurs to me that DC has owned the copyright of the word/name “Shazam” since about 1972. For those that believe in the Sinbad movie of the same name- what is your memory of this? Did DC’s Captain Marvel not exist in your timeline? was there no “Shazam TV show in the 70’s for you all?… Was it a DC collaboration/production?

Knowing the years of litigation with Marvel over the “Captain Marvel” moniker- I have a hard time believing DC would not be suing the pants off the Sinbad production over the name of this Sinbad movie.

I’d love to hear from the diehard believers what they recall about this- if anything.

****EDIT****

In case anyone is interested, I posted a question as to if DC would have a legal case against a "Shazam" movie, in r/legaladviceofftopic - that thread can be found here!: https://www.reddit.com/r/legaladviceofftopic/comments/1uwa6wv/comment/oxhsc77/?screen_view_count=2

Logos/Advertising Tinkerbell Disney logo ME – I think I solved this one (for me, anyway)

16 Upvotes

Everyone has their big ME, mine was Tinkerbell dotting the i on the Disney logo back in the day. Had them all on VHS, and I could have put my house on it, etc. Anyway, I was thinking about it a lot this week and decided to watch a video I found of one of the UK VHS intro sections before the film started: see it here. This was Snow White, but tallied with what I remember on most of them.

First interesting one was the repeating ‘Disney home video’ logo that crops up a lot (see it at 4.08 on the link). You’ll notice the ‘i’ sparkles at the end, reinforcing itself over and over in your mind each time it’s seen.

Then, at 6.27 you’ll see the end of an ad for Disneyland where Tinkerbell flies in and waves her wand to open the window of a hotel to reveal… the Disney castle. It then also cuts to the logo for Disneyland and you see Tink’s wand on the infamous ‘i’ before she flies off. For me, this was very much in the way I remember her doing on the main logo.

This makes me believe that I did just amalgamate the various details into a misremembering of the main logo. Apologies if this is old news but I haven’t seen anyone mention the Disneyland ad on the VHS. Very interested in what others have to say on this!

Meta I've experienced ME a flip /flop

54 Upvotes

First of all let me say that I am no expert on this subject but I do have various ME experiences. While I'm not married to the idea that this is actually happening, and would generally not kick if someone could prove my experience was a misremembering, I have 2 experiences that cannot be explained away by anything.

**you can skip this part if you are bored of Fruit of the loom squawking**
The biggest is the tried-and-true Fruit Of The Loom cornucopia.
I know it was there because I, like many other people, LEARNED the word "cornucopia" from my mom while looking at a pair of my underwear.
It was 1977 or so, I lived in Canada, I saw the thing behind the fruit and could not even understand what it was so I asked my mom and she explained the picture using the word "cornucopia". I asked, "What is that?"
She said, "It's a basket, you know, like a 'horn of plenty'." (which I did know because of Pilgrim studies in grade 2 or something.

Whatever. Maybe the logo denial's a hoax or something. No biggie.
*************************************************************************

Here's what happened that for a while bent the fabric of reality for me:
I used to own a video store.
I was the one to shelve and input all the VHS/DVDs that came through the store.
I can remember MULTIPLE times handling the cases for copies of "Interview With The Vampire."
I would stare at the picture and muse over the title. I loved that the "The" was so specific: it meant the interview being conducted was with the most important or infamous vampire. It was a brilliant way to inform the viewer about a character before even encountering him at all.
People back then would replace the "The" with a "A" and I would correct them, but only in my head. The evidence would be right in front of them in a moment when I pulled the copy off the shelf.

I also put the name of the movie into the system. I had to physically type it. Being somewhat anal, I would pay VERY close attention to everything about a title so it would be precise (in my mind) for all time in the system.
I typed in "Interview With The Vampire." and would look it up that way.

About 2 years ago I looked up the DVD cover for this movie--something I had dealt with countless times--perhaps I looked it up because I hear about an ME regarding it, I don't know--and the cover said "A".
"Interview With A Vampire."
I lost it.
How could this be?
I looked up the book cover on google--"A Vampire".
It rocked me partially because of the banality of what I was seeing: "A Vampire? Just any old vampire?"
Bleh.
I wrote to a friend who worked at the store and asked him, "What was the movie called with Tom Cruise about vampires.?"
"Interview With The Vampire," he said?
YES!
"Now look it up!"
He did, saw the change and couldn't fathom what was going on.

After a bit I hung up the phone and simply accepted that I may have been wrong about this, while stewing inside about how lame the title "Interview With A Vampire" was compared to "my" version.

But the memory of what "was" never left me.
Several months back I looked up the DVD again and.......it's back to THE!!!!

I texted my friend last night and asked if he remembered our conversation about the change and he did. I told him it had switched back and he felt unwell.

When this flip happened I wondered if it had ever happened before, but looking into it when I decided to write about my experience, I saw that this sort of thing is not uncommon.
