The monopoly guy not having a monocle

I don't know if it counts, but I had a favorite orange t-shirt and I haven't seen it in years. Asked my mom if she knows anything about it and described the drawings on it. She went "You mean the turquoise one? It's in x drawer" I fought her a while about it and finally went to check the said drawer and there it was, my favorite "orange" shirt in all its turquoise glory

Fruit of the Loom cornucopia for sure. It's was there. I remember distinctly, and no other brand has that specific cornucopia. I could probably even draw it from memory if I needed to to

Pikachus tail having a black end

Pikachu doesn't have that

The one that always gets me is particular to my friends and I from when we were kids. There was a creek that ran under the street in the neighborhood and we would sometimes hang out in the banks on either side of the road. There was this big rock that we would sit on all the time. Except one day we were walking by and it wasn’t a rock. It was a small tree. Fully rooted in and established and the rock was no where to be seen. Mind you, it was an extremely heavy boulder. We passed that spot all the time and all of us remember that rock. We call it the shapeshifting rock.

The fact that shaggy doesn’t have a protruding Adam’s apple

This one is a bit more personal to me, but growing up my mom and I always made an effort to go to the beach every Friday afternoon.

When it got too dark to be in the water, we would make our way to the park that was right next to the beach.

On some Fridays, we would just chill on one of the slides and look at the stars. One day I saw this light spinning around and I remember asking my mom what it was.

She told me that it was a lighthouse, and that it's used at night to stop ships from crashing into the shore.

I remember this vividly because it was kind of like my gateway into hyperfixating on sunken and shipwrecked ships.

Years later, over a decade (so this was probably in the mid to late 2000s), I got back into lighthouses. I go online to see if this lighthouse that I saw was still in commission, and I can't find any traces of it.

So I ask my mom, and apparently this conversation we had never took place according to her. I insist, and finally she's like "idk babes, I probably forgot"

So I go looking deeper, and apparently there was never a lighthouse where I thought it was.

To this day it f**ks me up, because I KNOW what I saw, I KNOW what we talked about.

Apparently Kit Kat has no hiphen

It’s spelled Febreze, not Febreeze

Beats by Dr. Dre. I’m almost positive that it was “Beats by Dre.” But I went and found my old headphones and sure enough it says “Dr.” Its even weirder because it looks so wrong and crowded on the headband.

C-3PO has one silver leg. Every costume gets this wrong.

Curious George ain’t got no tail

My friend TRULY believes to his core, that Jane Goodall passed away 15-20 years ago

My mom doesn’t have the best memory. I called her when I found out about this one and go, “Do you remember that movie when sinbad was a genie?” Without missing a beat she goes, “Yeah Shazam, right? You guys watched that all the time.” I said “you’re not confusing it with kazaam with shaq right?” She says “No you guys didn’t like that one as much you liked the sinbad one better.” She was mind blown that it doesn’t exist. I think she even looked through our vhs collection cause she’s was like we definitely have that movie but she never found it. Shame.

I really thought the Raisin Bran sun wore sunglasses. Nope.

For me it will ALWAYS be Berenstien bears. My mom and I felt like our whole lives were a lie when we looked back at the books one day and saw BerenSTAIN bears. The f**k?

Looney Tunes not Looney Toons. I was convinced it was Toons, as in cartoons.

On Bruce Springsteen’s Born in the USA album cover, there’s a red hat in his back pocket, not a bandana.
