Everyone likes to blame the universe splinter on the Harambe Event, but I like to think we were once living in the Berenstein Bears timeline and something went terribly wrong.
The Berenstain Bears mandela effect definitely predates Harambe.
And though I certainly believe I remember the cornucopia, I’m willing to admit there could be a valid explanation for that.
But The Berenstain Bears… That one keeps me up at night.
I know it is actually Bearenstain and if it was ever any different then there would be evidence, and that mandela effects are just a version of urban legends that play on peoples susceptibility to implanted memory, but I know it was Bearenstein.
I was an extremely pedantic and detail oriented child who loved to read and only had so many books. I still vividly recall many nights spent secretly awake studying the covers of those books, tracing the letters and reading and rereading the stories, thinking the bears must be Jewish like me even though they act very Christian. I had a few tapes as well and if they had a different title I was exactly the child who would notice and be upset about it.
And speaking of I also remember the day my world was rocked by this revelation.
Prior to it becoming a meme, back before the name ‘mandela affect’ was coined I came across one of the books and immediately caught the spelling. I dug up as many items as I could find and they all had the same spelling. I never felt so betrayed by my reality. I turned to the Internet for support but there wasn’t much discourse on it at the time, at least not that I could find. Now I’m being told I’m misremembering, but there is not a doubt in my mind they were The Berenstein Bears.
Most purported mandela effects are clearly just people misremembering, but I will die on Berenstein hill.
I also remember it having it when I was a kid. Before Costco had it’s Kirkland brand, they sold Fruit of the Loom underwear with the cornucopia logo, I’m sure of it. I think there was probably a knock-off/counterfeit brand that somehow wormed it’s way into department store/warehouse club supply chains, which is why so many people remember it that way, and also why FotL just denies it because they never discovered the replacement of product. I’d be willing to bet there are some corporate folk out there who could say for certain.
Nah, this would have been ~30 years ago. Film and development was expensive so we didn’t just take pictures of everything. Certainly not something as inconsequential (at the time) as undershirts or underwear. I wish I had an example leftover.
Why does the version with the Cornucopia look so much better? If it isn’t their logo, it fuckin’ should be.
I was gonna tell you that it used to have it. But I guess it never did.

If universes were merging, how would snopes know anything about it?
What if snopes is under the control of big universe and is trying to hide the smaller universes that get merged into it??

We? Of course, yes. All of us…

They did used to have it. I wore FOTL with this logo for years and years.

You might be onto something with the knock-off theory. I had Walmart shirts and underwear with the cornucopia logo.
Do you have any pictures of it
