See title. For those who don’t know, the Mandela Effect is a phenomenon where a large group of people remember something differently than how it occurred. It’s named after Nelson Mandela because a significant number of people remembered him dying in prison in the 1980s, even though he actually passed away in 2013.

I’m curious to hear about your personal experiences with this phenomenon. Have you ever remembered an event, fact, or detail that turned out to be different from reality? What was it and how did you react when you found out your memory didn’t align with the facts? Does it happen often?

    Edit: The proof I mentioned is just 2 images of shirts with the cornucopia in the logo. I’m not so sure anymore about what I said previously.

    Its proven that there was a cone in the logo, the company is just acring like that for marketing reasons

        here’s an old article mentioning the cornucopia: https://imgur.com/a/Au42qr8

        but reading some more about it, it seems like my previous comment is actually false. There are also 2 images of shirts with the cornucopia, which convinced me eaelier, but that’s only 2 images against a mountain of evidence.

            yeah my dad always used to buy the fruit of the loom sweatpants for us, and I’m pretty sure I saw that cornucopia. but it really seems we are mistaken. brains generally are a pretty shit source of information, after all.
