If your favorite show as a child was The Berenstein Bears, I’m sorry to say that they never existed. Their last name was actually Berenstain. And if you recall the Monopoly Man having a monocle or the Fruit of the Loom logo containing a cornucopia, you’re sadly mistaken. These are all classic examples of the Mandela Effect.
And if you’re interested in even more inexplicable situations where many people swear they remember something differently than how it is today, you’ve come to the right place, pandas! Below, we’ve gathered some of the most perplexing examples of collective misremembering that have been shared in the Mandela Effect Glitch In The Matrix Facebook group. Enjoy scrolling through these stories, and keep reading to find a conversation with admin of the group, Devon Kramer!

Wasn't this always Room 1408 not just 1408? I read the short story and watched the movie. Always recall it being Room 1408

Houdini’s death- Google (and a good few people I’ve asked) say his cause of death was from a ruptured appendix but I’m sure it was during a trick where he could get out of the water filled box, Im sure I remember learning about it in school

Jif vs. Jiffy was my first experience with the Mandela effect. Wait, now it's 'Jif.'

But as confusing as the Mandela Effect might sometimes be, Devon shared with Bored Panda that he believes it's a good thing. "And in the group, we try and focus on that side of things," he noted. "We share Mandela Effects, glitches, and strange things because we want to start discussing them without the blanket of fear."
"It could be CERN, time jumps, aliens, or spiritual; no one really knows. But no matter what it is, we can agree that it isn't hurting anyone; it's only expanding one's mind to see the impossible just might be possible," the admin says.

I was showing my son some videos of the Mandela effect & the Christmas song, I’ll be home for Christmas came up as one. I’ve always heard, I’ll be home for Christmas, you can Count on me. I was baffled when I heard it doesn’t say Count, it says, You can Plan on me. Fast forward to this morning & my daughter was playing a game on her pad & that song was part of the game. For the 1st time I heard, You can Plan on me. My question is…if I had not watched the video on the Mandela effect about a week ago, would I still have heard Count? Like the Laurel & Yanni thing? Do you guys remember that? Some people would hear Laurel, while others heard Yanni. I think it was Yanni, it could hv been something similar ijust can’t recall it tho. What do you all think? Im curious about this. Clear as day the song said Plan. 🤯 I even asked my 6 year old & she said, mom, I thought the song said you can count on me. So baffled

I'm planning my kids birthday party and a friend told me joking to not to go wild and put ipads in the party favors... we laughed because I knew he was referring to an episode from Big little lies that we have watched a few years ago. I re watched the whole 2 seasons again and now I didn't see that scene at all! I remember it was on S2 in Amabella's birthday party since Renata was trying to not to look poor after their bankrupcy...... I totally remember that Bonnie looks at the party bag and tells her husband.. oh wow there is an ipad in there. Do any of you remember that scene? It may have been cut or something but why that specific scene? I have googled it and look for it in youtube but nothing! Like it never happened!

I'm in my 40's, when I was a little girl I remember seeing a coca cola commercial with the jingle, "where ever there's a present, there's always a bow, where ever there's Santa, there's always ho ho ho, where ever there's a choir there's always a song, when ever the holidays come along, there's always coca cola, fa la la la la always coca cola" it has Santa drinking a coke out of a glass bottle. When I ask anyone if they remember this commercial and jingle they look at me crazy and say no. Please tell me that someone, anyone else remembers this. I can not find it online any where

I was researching the back story behind 'Count Dracula', maybe 25 years ago or so. I just casually mentioned it to my Mum when she asked me who 'Vlad the Impaler' was. I was shocked, because everyone I knew (including my Mum) knew that Dracula was based on Vlad the 3rd Tepes 'Dracula' of Romania. But when I tried to look up Vlad the Impaler - I couldn't find any reference to him in any of our books! So - frustrated and confused - I left it at that. It gets weirder - the next day I looked him up I found loads of references and history about him and how he was the inspiration for count Dracula etc - and when I showed my Mum, she was like "Yeah, so what?" And I was like - "But yesterday you said you had never heard of him!"

I grew up reading my grandfather's encyclopedia and other old books. I distinctly remember learning about the pyramids in Antarctica. Please tell me I'm not the only one
