The Mandela Effect- Phil Christodoulou

.The Mandela Effect is a theory of parallel universes, where large groups of people have similer alternative memories about past events. Many people believe that the reason of this is because we are switching through parallel universes, where our alter ego is becoming our reality. So, I love the band Queen and I've been listening to their music for a long time, and one song in particular (We are the champions). At the end of their song I've always thought it ended with "Of the world...", and I could swear that it was a part of the song. But then I watched the the video of the song...  https://youtu.be/04854XqcfCY?t=181 . Do you ever think that you have seen something before, like a person that you thought you'd met, or an event that you knew was going to happen, but you do not know how you know? Well I always do/ think of this and the "Mandela Effect" makes so much sense to me, that I felt like I always thought something was one way but it turned out to be the complete opposite.  Here are some examples...

Life isn’t like a box of chocolates.

Life isn’t like a box of chocolates.
Paramount Pictures
It seems that the majority of people confidently remember Forrest Gump stating that his mama always said, “Life is like a box of chocolates.” Well, it turns out that he actually said, “Life was like a box of chocolates,” despite what you may have felt you distinctly remembered.


Jiffy peanut butter doesn’t exist.

Jiffy peanut butter doesn’t exist.
20th Television
It’s called Jif, even though people remember the popular brand of peanut butter being called “Jiffy” and having a campaign that told mothers they could fix their kids a snack “in a jiffy.” Jiffy has certainly been embedded in the minds of many, and it was even spotted in American Dad, during an episode in which the character is uncovering a conspiracy.

The Queen in Snow White never said, “Mirror, mirror on the wall.”

The Queen in Snow White never said, “Mirror, mirror on the wall.”
Disney
While the famous Snow White quote you’ve probably heard others say and repeated yourself is “Mirror, mirror on the wall,” it turns out the correct line is “Magic mirror on the wall.” Some people also remember the second part of that quote being “Who is the fairest of them all?” but apparently it’s “Who is the fairest one of all?”

Kit Kat doesn’t have a dash.

Kit Kat doesn’t have a dash.
Nestlé
Some people seem to remember there being a dash in Kit Kat, making it “Kit-Kat,” but there isn’t one, and that frustrates them because they’re sure that once upon a time, there was one.

Curious George never had a tail.

Curious George never had a tail.
NBCUniversal Television Distribution
A lot of people even claim to remember seeing him use his tail to swing from the trees. If you look up pictures of Curious George right now, you’ll see that he doesn’t have a tail, meaning either your memory made the whole thing up or you’ve, like, drifted into a parallel universe.

Now these are just a few examples, but for me it left me in shock...
