Rantin about some of my recent experiences with The Mandela Effect (don’t worry I explain what that is for those out of the loop) and how I’m now 100% certain we either live in a simulation or that the multiverse is real!
I stand corrected on the FOTL it looked like a cornucopia but it was the way the leaves and the grapes were laid out around the apple that gave it the look (impression) of a cornucopia
The little insignificant memories are easily explained by the way memory works. Our brains assemble memories and reconcile with lots of inputs. Lots of things can affect accuracy: trauma, what you, ahem, ingest and in what quantities, as well, when you BELIEVE your memory to be accurate, you want any evidence to support it and that becomes "proof" regardless of reality. Unless you're me, cuz I absolutely remember things perfectly.
I dunno about Fruit of the Loom but when I was a kid all my Adidas stuff had two stripes instead of 3, and said "Aribas" on it, but I think that's just because it fell off the back of a delivery truck and my Uncle John happened to find it. He was always finding stuff.
My favorite theory that encompasses all of this plus the fact that the last 8ish years have just very much not hit is that when they cranked up the Large Hadron Collider for the first time in the early 2010s (I believe it was in 2014 but may be off by a year or so either way) they tore a hole in space-time and flipped us into an alternate timeline. I’d like to say I think that’s ridiculous but damn if it wouldn’t explain Trump.
The Berenstain Bears one, as I kid I always just thought that was how they pronounced their name, like how Feinstein and Weinstein are pronounced differently despite being spelled the same. The Kazaam/Shazam one was very real for me. It does blow my mind that the effect is named after Nelson Mandela when that is the most embarrassing one lol. You could not get me to admit I thought that Nelson Mandela died in prison, if you sent me to gitmo.
I do like that theory about it being a side effect of the multiverse, that is fun! I hope all our alternate selves are having a great time debating stuff that actually happened in our timeline! 😵💫
We’ll just set aside the note about Ed Mcman not being the clearing house guy. I hear the voice in my head just as clear as “scruff, mcgruff, chicago Illinois 60652...” there’s some shit from childhood that don’t leave your brain and I can hear him in the background telling us to check our mail.
So... you may need to go smoke a joint first, but into wonderland we go. If you subscribe to the idea, the 5D is supposed to be another realm that’s currently opening and overlaying on top of the 3D, which is the world as we’ve known it. Essentially it’s two realities trying to combine their weaves into one manifestation. Sometimes the 5D dimension overwrites the 3D “history” to match the current collective framework of “reality.” People believed it into reality. We remember the other reality because it was our actual experience, but after we all packed together in a new combined realm the universe needed to consolidate by collapsing the timelines we lived in once upon a time. It’s one of the UFO explanations too, they’re part of a merging dimension and they don’t travel across space or time but a tear in reality. “Reality.”
Ed totally did the PCH, all the happy people were SO glad to see him at their door.!! You have piqued my curiosity, Corey, I gotta do some digging!! Lol!
Let us not forget the Sinbad genie movie that people claim doesn’t exist also.
Yes, Ed McMahon did do those commercials.
I remember fruit and I *think* I remember the cornucopia.
And yes, I believe in alternate universes. :)
I fully remember the carnicopia and Ed McMahon with the check!
Right on with the PCH. Remember those commercials with the big checks and balloons and Ed with his big ass 80s glasses.
The cornucopia one is weird though. I also vividly remembering it...maybe it’s like the Ed McMan thing and a competing company used it....?

Ed McMahon ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY did Publisher’s Clearing House and the cornucopia was part of the Fruit of the Loom logo

Take a deep breath, go for a run.

You're not crazy, the collective memory is unreliable at best. I'm older than you & remember the things you are talking about
Snopes is on the case https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/ed-mcmahon-publishers-clearing-house/ Ed worked for American Family Publishers sweepstakes, competition to Publishers Clearing House. Like who knew there were multiple companies doing that thing back then 😀

You’re welcome for that existential crisis...
