I can confirm the current universe chick fil a because I'd never seen or heard it until I was an adult, which was before they got infamous for being anti LGBT. When I first drove past the sign I asked the people I was with "WTF is chick feel ah?" If it'd been "chic" I would've pronounced it like the French loanword (ie "sheek").
The Mandela effect is for people whose ego is so large that they believe that being catapulted into a parallel dimension without having noticed is a more plausible explanation than that they’re slightly wrong about something insignificant
The cornucopia was there. I swear on my life I saw it.
I'm now convinced that there was a knock-off brand that posed as Fruit of the Loom for years with the altered logo. That's the only explanation I'll accept. Mandela effect my ass.
That is literally how i learned what a cornucopia was. I asked my mom what fruit it was
In my universe it was "Loony", not "Looney". There is no e dammit!
Froot Loops has always been that way. Back when I was a kid, they only had three colours - red, orange, and yellow - and I remember being bothered that they had to repeat one of them. Problem got solved when they rolled out green.
Blue and purple must have rocked your world.
Chic fil a is a new one, and I know for a fucking fact it used to be chic! Iv remember being a kid and thinking "that's a strange way to spell it"
Found some more pixels
Thar reminds me how I misread "Disney" as "Disnep" in their cursive logo for a long time in my childhood. Does that mean there is a Disnep dimension out there? :P
Gisnep
I joke that it can be read as disneyp because of the fucking cursive too
Yes, that branched new timelines where Disnep owns everything, etc. It's pretty basic science.
i assume febreeze went through a formula change and it sucks now, likely cheapflation?
I'd rather believe in unconscious interdimensional travel then accept that my memories might be wrong.

Isn't Jiffy a brand of quickbake mixes? In the little blue boxes
I think a lot of these can be explained as wires being crossed with mixed memories. Memories of the Jiffy boxes in the cupboard next to Jif peanut butter might have mixed things up to where people misremember whether there was ever a Jiffy peanut butter.
Chick-fil-A, same thing. Being a kid and thinking "wow that's a weird way to spell it" about the "fil-A" part and somehow blending it into believing it was about the "Chick" part. Looney Tunes, Froot Loops, Berenstain Bears, all similar processes.
The Sinbad Shazaam movie is almost certainly a mashup of a memories of Shaq's Kazaam, the Sinbad cartoon movie from 1992, and Sinbad dressing like a Mediterranean/middle eastern pirate in All That.
The thing I cannot explain, though, is the Fruit of the Loom cornucopia. I remember it that way, and I can't find anything like that.
pro-tip: putting image URLs in your comment like this:  makes the image show up in your comment rather than just the URL
I ended up making a quick tampermonkey script to convert image links to image elements
this probably needs some work on the isImageUrl function but it works for this instance at least haha
(function() {
Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('a')).filter(e => isImageUrl(e.href)).forEach(imageLink => {
var imageElement = document.createElement('img');
imageElement.src = imageLink.href;
imageLink.after(imageElement);
imageLink.style.display = 'none'
});
})();
function isImageUrl(input){
var url = new URL(input.toLowerCase());
return url.pathname.endsWith('.jpg')
|| url.pathname.endsWith('.png')
|| url.pathname.endsWith('.gif');
}
oh and I guess it needs to be re-executed for when more comments are loaded by scrolling. in that case the already created image elements would double up, but you could just delete the original image link... it is quick and dirty after all
edit: V2 is here
(function() {
console.log('script loaded');
setInterval(findAndReplaceImageLinks, 10);
})();
function findAndReplaceImageLinks(){
Array.from(document.querySelectorAll('a')).filter(e => isImageUrl(e.href)).forEach(imageLink => {
if (imageLink.classList == 'fst-italic link-dark link-opacity-75 link-opacity-100-hover'){ return; }
//console.log(imageLink)
var imageElement = document.createElement('img');
imageElement.src = imageLink.href;
imageLink.after(imageElement);
imageLink.remove();
console.log('image replaced');
});
}
function isImageUrl(input){
var url = new URL(input.toLowerCase());
return url.pathname.endsWith('.jpg')
|| url.pathname.endsWith('.png')
|| url.pathname.endsWith('.gif');
}
Yes, Jiffy is a very popular and inexpensive brand of corn bread mix, in groceries all over down here.
This one is a brand of peanut butter, I believe.
Wait until people watch old shows from the 90s set in NYC, and there's these two buildings in the skyline. But when you go to NYC, those buildings DON'T EVEN EXIST!!!
It wasn't Chic-fil-a it was Chik-fil-A I am From Atlanta
Missed opportunity for fruit of the loin
It's interesting that when you see them laid out like this you can more easily see the reasons people could have come to remember this way.
For instance, conflating Jif and Skippy as essentially the same product, or getting an association of missing letters from the "eat mor chik'n" cows ad campaign.
Agreed, also by putting so many together like this, you're gonna have some people who don't remember it that way. Like the Monopoly guy is half-convincing to me, but I'm pretty sure it's just a mix-up with Mr. Peanut.
The Pikachu one might been an influence from the Pichu design.
Nah, the bootleg merch we got in the post-Soviet countries had the black tail tip long before Pichu was a thing.
…or DID it…?
Ah yes, the Minglebingle Effect
That's Mandella, you're thinking of the bounty hunter that hangs with grogu
That's Mandalorian. You're thinking about the band that backed up Mike when he sang the 1980s hit song "All I need is a miracle"
Perhaps dyslexia would explain some of these?
