Results: The Mandela Effect
Published on 11/07/2023
There are a lot of things we remember from our childhood that are not as they used to be. It’s safe to say that today’s world is nothing like the world we remember from our youth. There are definitely things that have changed, but some of them have stayed the same, and we simply remember them differently. Maybe because we were different back then. That’s the widespread phenomenon known as the Mandela Effect. Read on and see if you share any of these mistaken ideas and memories with other people. “The Monopoly Guy Does Not Have a Monocle”: People Share Nostalgic Examples of the Mandela Effect by Alison Campbell is the source for this 1,437 part survey series.

#1: This Is My Spare Hat Pocket. If I'm honest, I've never thought too hard about what's sticking out of Bruce Springsteen's back pocket on his famous album cover (Born in the U.S.A.), but if I'd been pressed to guess, I probably would have thought it was a handkerchief too. After all, who sticks a hat in their pocket? Not anyone who's wearing women's pants with tiny pockets, I'll tell you that much. Did you know the right answer?

#2: That's All, Folks! Watching Looney Tunes cartoons was an inseparable part of many of our childhoods, and yet I bet that most of you reading this have never thought about how to spell "Looney Tunes"; after all, at the time of your life when you're watching them, it's not like you're writing a lot of letters or memoirs about your daily activities. Did you remember the correct spelling of Looney Toons?

#3: In or Out? Another intriguing Mandela Effects revolves around the iconic 90s TV series Sex and the City. Many people vividly remember the show being called Sex IN the City instead. Surprisingly, there is some evidence supporting this alternative memory. An old perfume product related to the show carries the spelling "IN" on its box, providing a tangible link to the divergent recollection. Did you remember this one correctly?

#4: I Am Your Father. The following might be one of the most commonly misquoted movie lines in history. Most everyone who has seen "The Empire Strikes Back" Star Wars movie says it wrong. I think that if you said it correctly, people wouldn't really know what you were talking about. And it's been quoted wrong for so long that it's no wonder that some people have convinced themselves that they remember it being the incorrect way in the movie. Darth Vader never says, "Luke, I am your father." He says, "No, I'm your father." Were you guilty of ever saying this movie line wrong?
