Its also a lot of confusing two similar things. Pikachu has a completely yellow tail, but it's pre-evolution *Pichu* has a completely black tail. So we mix the two together in our minds.
I know the Rubik's Cube isn't spelled Rubix because it was invented by a Hungarian and the language doesn't have the letter X in it. Unless some companies may have branded it with an X spelling
For the pikachu tail, I did have a bootleg toy, that was a cake topper, that had the tail painted black. So maybe it was bootleg toys that made every think of the black tailed pikachu.
Could also have been Pichu's tail (which is entirely black albeit shaped more like a lil' flag,) along with Pikachu having different tails according to gender-- the end of female Pikachu's tail is heart shaped, but at some point a black accent has also been added to the female tail. I think there having quite a group of different tail designs for the same Pokémon may have caused confusion within people's memories regarding male/Ash's Pikachu's tail. Also the bootlegs yes, almost always it's the tail they get wrong in a way or another, so that most likely helped too (I personally mostly commonly came across tail that did not have the brown accent on the lower end.)
I remember having a pokemon theme party when I was 9 . My mom got me a cake with Pikachu and the kanto starters . They weren't official toys but they all had the right colors except pikachu. It had black on the tip of its tale. I always knew it was wrong but I remember I had a toy like that .
The Looney Tunes is spelled like that because the same characters were in another series of films called Merrie Melodies. So it’s Tunes and Melodies, since they’re both musical.
The musical naming convention was also influenced by Disney’s Silly Symphonies shorts from the 20s and 30s. Many studios at the time used a similar title for their respective animated short film series in order to capitalise on the success of Silly Symphonies. Such examples include MGM’s Happy Harmonies, Universal’s Swing Symphony, and most famously Warner Bros Merry Melodies/Loony Tunes.
@@eddyhoopin it literally was never that. Most people stop watching them as they get older and have faulty memories from not watching it in years. As someone who actively studies cartoons and never "grew out" of them, it was never "Toons." The word Toon as a shortening of Cartoons wasn't popularized until Spielberg's Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Also, people conflate their memories with another Spielberg production, Tiny Toons, which was a Looney Tunes spinoff
I think the “Life is like a box of chocolates” one was because when Forest was talking about his mom, she was dead. So he was attributing the quote to her
Yeah, the entire statement is in past tense, and it comes off as more of a paraphrasing than a direct quote. My Momma always said "life is like a box of chocolates..." vs My Momma always said [that] life was like a box of chocolates... You have to keep the past tense in the second one. And since narrating the entire thing through description, it makes more sense for the quotes to be in-line like that. Which he also does for other quotes he attributes to people during scenes showing his narration.
the fruit of the loom makes me even more confused as i remember seeing an ad of someone in fruit of the loom clothes grabbing an apple from the cornucopia and telling how comfortable the clothes is and so does my siblings and everybody i know.
I remember a commercial in the 80's where the fruit of the loom guys step out of a cornucopia to sell under ware. I am highly affected, but at peace about it. It just is. I experienced several real time flip flops. If not for that, I would have written it off long ago. We won't know what it means until we know what it is.
hey, creator of the iceberg here- very well done!! im glad you touched upon the most interesting entries as some are really boring lol, and the way you went about talking about these false memories is fantastic though, minor error- the dazed and confused entry was referring to a scene in the movie dazed and confused where a globe was being spun around that seemingly had an all new landmass to the left of australia, which was proof we changed realities overall though, great video!! ty for covering it!!!
I'm so thankful for the iceberg! It's always great to see a unique and original needle in the haystack of internet, gen z nostalgia and disturbing content icebergs. Apologies for the dazed and confused entry though, glad you enjoyed the video and I'm glad I could do it justice :D
About looney tunes! It's word play! In the early years of looney tunes the music was a MAJOR part of the animations. Along with this 'toons' is used a lot to refer to the characters so we probably all just got mixed up.
Yep that's what that one is all about. Both of you guys are right. There's also the fact that the early shorts are very music heavy. Some are built around specific pieces of music while others had music composed to exactly fit the short. The confusion 💯 comes from "cartoon" and "toon" making a little more sense to the average person so they just assume that is the correct spelling. However, Merrie Melodies was just earlier Looney Tunes shorts. The Disney version was Silly Symphonies.
There's this one Mandela Effect that always screws me up whenever I think about it. So there was this Disney logo that used to play before movies (on DVD specifically, I think) It was a pretty normal logo, but Tinker Bell would fly across the screen in an arc, followed by a trail of pixie dust, and tap the 'I' of the Disney logo to dot it. There was also a version or two where it didn't work and she'd get angry and red. Well, apparently this doesn't exist. I can't find any trace of it. And I remember it so vividly, too, both versions, playing before Disney movies. I really wish I had all those old DVDs so I could try to find it.
I also thought this a long time ago, there are very SIMILAR intros but most of it is stuff that we filled in from her personality being like that. There do exists intros very similar to what you described though. I linked a youtube playlist full of them
Funny thing about Empire Strikes Back, the original line in the first cut of the movie, Vader says "No Luke, I am your father." So he actually said both but he says No Luke very quickly so it's easy to misquote it. In the re releases they changed it to No. Crazy shizz man.
@@walrus6429 honestly they've re released and updated the original trilogy so much that you may have heard him say "No Luke" from one of them. The newest releases just have him say No.
I'm not sure this is true, even though Lucas likes to change around Vaders lines I've never heard of this besides it being a Mandela effect I'm pretty sure it's miss information
FYI: Snow White or "Schneewittchen" is a book made by two german brothers. The original quote was "Spieglein Spieglein an der Wand" which translates to "Mirror mirror on the wall"
most of these I feel like I can find an explanation for personally... EXCEPT for the fruit of the loom logo. the image of it is so engraved in my mind. I remember there being a point when they changed the logo to what it is now and how it was one of the first instances of really modernizing a logo. I also remember using the logo as a reference when I was little to ask my mom what a cornucopia was because I didn't know the name for it at the time.
Also its pretty easy to misremember things. Like, when you look at a drawing or something like that, after a while you’ll start to think something was a little different (the clothing, the pose, etc). Idk if I worded this good.
Shaggy definitely had an Adam's apple, I talked about it with my mom, because I kinda looked like him. We were talking about his gotee, in the movie zombie island, I was asking why it was so pronounced & what it was. It's actually how I learned what an Adam's apple was, it was the scene where he's triming in the mirror.
The Bug's Life 2 one is likely just one of the "out take scenes" from the end of Toy Story 2, where the characters from Bug's Life think they are filming shots for Bug's Life 2, without realising they are on the "set" of Toy Story 2.
26:00 If you see a flipped "Swastica" that's not a swastica. That's a symbol of Buddhism and they appear on Japanese maps to mark the locations of temples.
I have this personal Mandela effect event that at summer camp, we sang Green Day’s “time of your life” while a camp counselor played an acoustic guitar but no one else remembers this
My personal Mandella: as a kid I remember people saying I keep mixing up salt and pepper but the thing is always correcting my self based on what the last person said they were. It wasn't like I'd ask, they just always corrected me and they would always contradicted the last person. I was always certain though that salt was white and pepper was black though. Now as an adult the only explanations I have for it is either some one was fucking with me or I was an adhd kid with bad memory.
Another thing to add on the Uncle Sam one, in the DC Comics (Yes Uncle Sam is a character in the DC Universe) his hat actually had red and white stripes on it. Maybe that could be another reason why people mistake his hat for having stripes.
I literally had a pikachu plushie with a black tail, I remember that because their was a ripping stitch between the black and yellow parts. And as soon as I found out the pikachu thing about 3-4 years ago, it disappeared, and to this day I still haven’t found it
I know it was Berenstein bears for a fact. I used to read the books as a kid, and always pronounced it as the "Berenstine" bears bc I was confused on which sound to use for the i and e combo. I vividly remember the epiphany I had when I realized it was pronounced "Berensteen"
I always found the Mandela Effect weird. Like it seems to just come down to us not taking in all of the details of an image and us assuming what would make the most sense, or just synthesizing multiple parts of something. Or sometimes adding context so it does not sound awkward out of nowhere.
Remember when the Mandela effect was widely recognized as just a weird phenomenon of mass misremembering, and NOT the result of some vaguely defined, pseudo-scientific shift between parallel universes? Pepperidge Farm remembers.
I can swear that my memory of the Monopoly man having a monocle is very clear. It's a special memory for me when I was young since it's the first board game which was not boring for me (my first was snake and ladders, then chess) I can clearly remember that I was inspecting the box and looking at the Get Out of Jail Free card for a long time since I was trying to grasp the rules of the game.
@@TheKingOfJordan1 I guess that will be true for others but I am really sure of my own memory tbh. But also who knows, maybe our memories really arent that reliable.
The Mandela effect is really just a testament to the power of suggestion. I speculate for some of the examples on here, people don't remember things the wrong way until someone suggests otherwise, and it works because those memories really aren't that strong and are easily overwritten.
I think have one: It's "Seasoned salt". Everybody I know has described lawry's brown salt as "seasoning salt" but it's not. The salt itself is seasoned.
the one that actually grinds my gears: the turbines on a plane are in front of the wing - not under the wing. i clear as day remember playing all my childhood with toys of planes, all having the turbines under the wings. to be honest i think it looks ridiculous and can't get over it. :D
Yeah that's something that I really should have spoken about more in the video, the idea that the mandela effect in some instances have created a sort of self fulfilling prophercy of sorts, where the abridged version becomes real due to people saying it all the time
@@FoxAkimbo one mandela effect i had but dont thinknit is one is When i played mario world advanced when i got to the seceret level in world 2 i was able to go to a level next to it on the right
After I heard the fruit of the loom one I literally paused the video and went through my underwear drawer to make sure he was right because I swear it used to have it
I don’t have issues with most Mandela effects other than Nelson Mandela. I have the most vivid memory of reading a book in 5th grade that said that he passed away in prison in the late 80’s. The weirder part is that I read this book in 2013 before he actually passed.
Interesting concerning pikachu’s tail. There is a form of Pikachu that has a black tip on its tail. It’s called cosplay Pikachu and is a special form found in Pokémon omega ruby and alpha sapphire. I think the games came out after the Mandela effect became popular, but it’s still interesting.
The complicated machine that is the human brain uses so many shortcuts, esp when it comes to minutiae regarding memory... I think that coupled with the power of suggestion is what convinces us so thoroughly of these tiny mis-remembered details
Quantum physics, quantum immortality and philosophical concepts coming together = fascinating. I wish someone would do a philosophical theories iceberg, lol. Interesting iceberg, FA! 💜✌️
@@FoxAkimbo I will have to have a look. Aww, haha, I thought that! I don't know why people are so terrified or uninterested in philosophy as it interacts with so many other topics, lol.
I also thought that The North Pole was a physical place. I think it’s because Santa is supposed to live there and in any media depicting him in the North Pole, it’s always depicted as a land made up of ice and snow, just like Antartica.
I believe the "A Bug's Life 2" Mandela Effect comes from the Toy Story 2 out takes. One of them featured Flik and Heimlich talking about being in a sequel, with Flik believing it is A Bug's Life 2 before Heimlich tells him that it's not. Maybe some people misremember that scene as being a trailer? Some Pixar trailers for sequels consist on the characters talking about how a sequel is coming, so that could be the reason
I swear on my life that Mr. Monopoly had a monocle. Maybe the McDonalds game where you’d collect properties to win a million dollars gave him one but yeah… maybe I’m in an alternate universe or something.
With the James Bond one; I wonder if some people confused it with something said in the James Bond Jr. cartoon from the 1990's, he said something like that just about every Saturday morning for a while.
Memories are fairly malleable and suggestible. Not only is it true that the more you remember or retell something the more likely it is to become inaccurate, but it’s not uncommon for someone else to suggest that something happened and you start to remember it happening even if it didn’t. Given that humans are such a social species it’s not surprising that this phenomenon exists and is so prevalent. (Note: this doesn’t seem to apply to people groups with a vivid verbal tradition of passing down histories or stories by mouth, so my guess it that it’s also heavily influenced by culture)
Aaahh this vid was so mind boggling, it's so strange how we create false memories and can be so certain of things that aren't real... Great video as always!!! The comparison pic quiz was a fun idea, the fruit of the loom logo still annoys me I swear there was a cornucopia!!! And omg the moth breaking in must have watched ur last vid and heard about Mothman being the hottest cryptid :')
I know a good one, go up to any Christian and ask “how did St. Peter die?” They’ll usually respond with “he was crucified, it says so in the bible” despite this, peters death is never mentioned in Canon
Pokemon fan since the beginning here, it bothers me that the Pikachu tail is a thing because it is easily proven wrong. Pokemon is a highly recorded franchise there is no way something like that would not be common trivia if it was real. The black tip tailed pikachu is a combo of 3 things that thrown casual fans off guard. 1- we drew it like that as kids and people that don't look at pikachu often may still remember it that way. 2-Bootleg items, they are very common and often get details wrong. Messing up pikachus tail is especially common on bootleg items. 3- Cosplay pikachu. In 2014 Pokemon remade Ruby and Sapphire and added a special pikachu that can wear costumes and learn different moves known as cosplay Pikachu. She has a black tipped tail and appears often in cards and other games like Smash bros Ultimate and Pokken, mostly in the Libre outfit. Sorry for the long rant this Mandela affect really does not work for people familiar with Pokemon. We remember all the details too well.
the reason that its Tunes is because music was a huge focus of the show. watch any of the older episodes and follow along with the music. every movement, emotion, EVERYTHING is highlighted by the music :) yeah cartoon has two os, but its looney tunes for a reason :)
I have an example of a Mandela effect I still remember. There are ice popsicles here in Israel called Matara(targets). They're basically a circular popsicle with three circles; pink outside, yellow middle, orange center. But... I distinctly remember the pink and orange or yellow being switched. And the brand has not changed it as far as I know, so I have no idea if it's real. Probably just me but it's very interesting and not one I ever see brought up
"Elementary, my dear Watson" appeared in a stage play. "Hello, Clarice" and the sunglasses in Risky Business, as well as the Forrest Gump line definitely come from spoofs. I feel like SNL should probably take a huge amount of the blame for that. Monopoly Man having a monocle probably comes from mixing up memories with Mr. Peanut.
I can probably make some explanations on some of them: The Berenstein Bears: Albert Einstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein's Monster, Weinstein, a beer stein, lots of things have "stein" either as a separate word, or at the end of someone's name, so people tend to think that it's "Berenstein". The Monopoly Man: People tend to think that sophisticated rich people have monocles, & considering that the Monopoly Man is considered a sophisticated person, there's going to be people thinking he did have one. Pikachu's Tail: His ears have black at the end of them, so people would assume that the tail would have black at the end of it as well. Fruit of the Loom: The cornucopia completes the logo for a lot of people as the fruit standing there makes it look like an unfinished piece of artwork that was then slapped onto some underwear. Fruit Loops: "Froot" is not the official way to spell the word outside of the cereal, so people would think that it says "fruit" instead of "froot". Elementary, My Dear Watson: I guess a lot of people probably remember Sherlock Holmes In the 22nd Century when it aired on Fox Kids, but don't remember the name. The Fonz's Ayyyyy: There was a Hanna-Barbera cartoon based off the show from back in the 1980s, & it had Fonz doing that. So it's kind of like the one above. Risky Business Dance Scene: Probably because it just looks cooler with sunglasses. Captain Crunch: Ok, who else uses "Cap'n"? Lemme guess, nobody else? Exactly. A Bug's Life 2: Probably people misremembering Dreamworks's Antz, which came out the same year. Baloo In Coconut Bra: Most women are like that because they don't want to show the biggies onscreen, less they want to deal with censorship by the FCC. Starbucks Crown: Might have to do with the Pakistani flag having a moon, & a star on the bottom tip of the moon, so people would say it has a normal crown so not to offend any Muslims. Scarecrow With a Gun: The kids who were able to spot the gun probably had better eyesight than most kids at the time. Mickey's Clothes: Some people questioned how Mickey has been able to keep his shorts up for that long, even if he's going through crazy adventures, or flying in the air at high speeds. Rubix Cube: Probably has something to do with the "X-TREEEEMEEE!!!" thing of the 1990s, not to mention X being a cool letter in general. Daniel's Headband: Japan IS the Land of the Rising Sun. Target Logo: Most archery practice areas have practice targets with 2, or more white rings. Ghandi: I'm surprised it isn't "Gandi", but I guess it has to do with words such as "ghastly", "ghost", "ghee", & the country of Ghana. Einstein's Insanity Quote: Intelligent people tend to say quotes like that, so it makes sense with that in mind. Not to mention nobody actually knows who really said it. It just randomly appeared out of nowhere from some person, & this quote was apparently so inspirational that it caught on into the present day. Frosty wears a scarf: Most snowmen wear scarfs, & people making snowmen almost never forget about the scarf. Swastika is Flipped: Probably because it's essentially a Manji turned diagonal. The Grinch's Full Title: How would anybody else be able to do that without getting caught at least once!? The Name's Bond, James Bond: It sounds a lot cooler that way. Plus it sounds more in-character to what he is. Tony the Tiger's Nose: Tigers in real life have a black nose, & most fictional tigers have black noses as well, so this one is easy to understand. The USA Has 60 States: They're probably counting other US-owned territories like Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Puerto Rico, Baker Island, Midway Atoll, Palmyra Atoll, & Howland Island. Peace Symbol is Upside Down: It looks like a happy person that wants peace! The North Pole Has Land Mass: Ties into the whole Santa Claus myth that people thought was a real person. People think Santa Claus lives there alongside with the elves, & reindeer. The Pyramids Are Aligned With Orion's Constellation: This one might have to deal with the whole Illuminati/New World Order conspiracy theory that can also be linked towards the possibility of aliens being real, especially since some people believe that aliens built the Pyramid of Giza.
Looney Tunes was a reference to "Merry Melodies", which were cartoons that revolved around musical pieces, many early Looney Tunes cartoons were music-heavy, tunes of course sounds like "toons", so there's the word play.
In Toy Story 2 there are “”””Outakes””””” where the characters from Bugs life say “they are Finally doing Bugs life 2” and hemlick says “this is not a bugs life 2” and then Buzz kills them
monopoly guy's monocle and the "hello Clarice" are both Jim Carrey skits, hello Clarice is from the cable guy and in ace ventura 2 he makes fun of a guy with a monocle and calls him the monopoly man
"if I look up a picture of Pikachu I will never see him with a black tipped tail" Uh false, there's a specific Pikachu called Cosplay Pikachu that actually DOES have a black tipped tail. I don't know when this Mandela Effect first appeared but if it was more recent maybe this specific Pikachu could be the reason?
I have a memory of the black tip on the tail but I was never a fan I remember drawing pikachu a few times when I was little with the black tip on the tail but I don’t remember solidly if I’ve actually seen the cartoon like that Now I’m much older both versions look right 🤷🏻♀️
Looney tunes is called that because they were kinda like music videos at first. The key thing Looney tunes is missing nowadays is the joining of music and animation.
Ok so I swear it's berenstein bears. Like pronounced berenstain, but spelled differently. Like I used to watch it all the time and I SWEAR it was berenstein. Also, as a person who drinks a lot of Starbucks, it always had the star
The hitler one screws me up. I always thought the hypocrisy was that Hitler had dark brown hair and eyes. I have had so many personal Mandela effects which is one of those things that I just think is my imagination. I remember many things from childhood that never happened but again I think it’s just us imagining something that maybe weirdly we wished happened.
The Reason people remember "The Bearstenstain Bears" being pronounced not as "Stain" but as "Steen" is because of the Chick's Accent who sings the Theme Song. She's pronouncing it correctly, yes. But because of her Accent it sounds like she's saying "Steen" rather than "Stain".
That target one really got me when I first heard it, I vividly remember as a kid going to target for the first time thinking how weird it was that it had a white bull's eye instead of red like a target normally has. I didn't go to target for a few years then got a job there and that was the first time in a while I really noticed the logo, I thought "oh they must have realized how weird the logo looks with a white center and redesigned it", finding out it never had a white center just baffles me cause that is such a clear memory
for the "Swastika is flipped" entry i think that refers to how the swastika used to be associated with peace before being flipped and used by the Axis powers and then being inevitably associated with Axis powers and Hitler.
Monopoly man with a monocle looks so wrong to me. Yet I always believed that the pringles man had a monocle I also knew the right symbol for target only because of Spots, the mascot dog for the store brand. I always thought he was cute so I knew his design almost to a T
When i was younger i was waiting the entire time for the “luke i am your father part” and was really confused when I didn’t hear it and thought I must have missed something- turns out I didn’t :))
I have a lot of false memories. I have a sleep disorder so almost all of my false memories are just dreams that I had haha. nothing really big, just conversations I thought I had with family or friends that I actually just dreamt instead.
The Silence of the Lambs one really got to me. I've watched the movie 6 times now. I recently watched it a week ago and I always remember the "Hello Clarice." I don't even remember hearing the good morning from last week.
Anyone distinctly remember South America being way more vertically aligned with North America on maps? It's so damn strange to me how much to the right it's positioned on maps now
The Hannibal Lector quote “Hello Clarice, it’s good to see you again” actually comes from the movie Cable Guy, the Medieval Times scene. Jim Carrey puts food on his face and says it
For us 90's kids, one explanation for Looney Tunes mandela effect is that there was another series during that time: Tiny Toon Adventures, which stars new young characters who are counterparts for Bugs, Daffy, Sylvester etc. It does have that more logical "Toon"-word, so it's no wonder people get these names mixed.
Forest Gump, the line is spoken as "life _is_ like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get," but it was said by Forest's mother before she passed. He said "my momma always said that life _was_ like a box of chocolates," when attributing the quote to her
I think the misremembered “hello Clarice” is because at the very end of the movie Hannibal calls Clarice and says “well Clarice” which sounds super close to “hello Clarice” and it is the start of a phone call which we associate with the word “hello”. And earlier in the movie Hannibal does greet Clarice with “good evening, Clarice” which like before is the start of a conversation which as humans we associate with words like “hello”
Okay for the Forrest Gump quote. In the opening of the movie Forrest quotes “life WAS LIKE a box of chocolates” referencing his mothers saying. But later in the movie when his mother is on her death bed she says to him “life IS a box of chocolates.” I think its fair to assume that people are just combining the two quotes and making up “life IS LIKE a box of chocolates.”, swapping the WAS with the IS. Because technically the quote is being said in the movie even if indirectly.
I think a good example of how the mandala effect works for myself is the fact that I never thought I remembered seeing a cornucopia on the fruit of the loom logo until I was told that it's a mandala effect and seeing the version with the cornucopia. Our memories are very subject to suggestion and are very easily swayed, that's why we think we remember one thing, when another is actually true
I think the Cap'n Crunch entry refers to how he doesn't have the Navy insignia of a Captain, I can't remember what rank insignia he has because I dont know about Navy Insignia's
I actually have my own personal mandela effect thing: basically when i first started playing A Hat in Time i would always misremember the character Cooking Cat as having blonde fur and green eyes when in reality she has orange fur and yellow eyes, i'm assuming i remembered her like this because i actually have a cat IRL with blonde fur and there are other cat characters in AHIT with green eyes...crazy stuff
I've been chewing on a personal mandela effect for years now. When I was in highschool, a friend and I were The Simpsons Kids (tm). We'd quote simpsons and futurama back and forth, reference it through the day, watched it daily for years because it was in local tv every afternoon. One day, in casual conversation, we quoted that "whale expert" line from futurama, and then started talking about how unfair the guy was for calling Leela's swimsuit ugly, when it was just, some black/green petrol color. Another one of our friends looked at us and said "guys, the swimsuit's orange, that was the joke". We thought she had to be wrong- we were the experts. Then we looked it up and it was orange. I swear I still remember it being black, with petrol green highlights. That was like ten years ago, but I still think about it! My best theory is that we got it mixed with a training suit the same character wears in another episode. Still, fun stuff.
I think I can somewhat explain the pikachu tail one, there are many pikachu cosplay variants (Pikachu wearing a costume) to name a few Pikachu libre, Pikachu rock star & Pikachu pop star. To my understanding this is a specific female variant of Pikachu and it has a black heart on its tail
The Forest Gump quote is said in the movie, just not by Forest, but by his mother. In the scene where she is on her death bed she says “Life’s like a box of chocolates Forest. You never know what you’re gonna get.” which is probably where people get confused. Because he is talking about her from a past perspective so he says “was” and the quote from the mother contains “is”. So people probably incorrectly combined the two and thought he said that version of the quote.

The further you go down, the less these become “Mandela effect moments” and become random misinformation.
Its also a lot of confusing two similar things. Pikachu has a completely yellow tail, but it's pre-evolution *Pichu* has a completely black tail. So we mix the two together in our minds.
@@CloaksCosplays yeah. And the details are so small that your brain doesn’t store that info perfectly, instead making correlations and assumptions.
@@CloaksCosplays woah i never thought of that! I always say pikachu with a yellow tail but i can see how people got it mixed up
@@scuttledelics I thought Pikachu has a mostly yellow tail with a black zig zag stripe in the middle
I know the Rubik's Cube isn't spelled Rubix because it was invented by a Hungarian and the language doesn't have the letter X in it. Unless some companies may have branded it with an X spelling
For the pikachu tail, I did have a bootleg toy, that was a cake topper, that had the tail painted black. So maybe it was bootleg toys that made every think of the black tailed pikachu.
Could also have been Pichu's tail (which is entirely black albeit shaped more like a lil' flag,) along with Pikachu having different tails according to gender-- the end of female Pikachu's tail is heart shaped, but at some point a black accent has also been added to the female tail. I think there having quite a group of different tail designs for the same Pokémon may have caused confusion within people's memories regarding male/Ash's Pikachu's tail. Also the bootlegs yes, almost always it's the tail they get wrong in a way or another, so that most likely helped too (I personally mostly commonly came across tail that did not have the brown accent on the lower end.)
I remember having a pokemon theme party when I was 9 . My mom got me a cake with Pikachu and the kanto starters . They weren't official toys but they all had the right colors except pikachu. It had black on the tip of its tale. I always knew it was wrong but I remember I had a toy like that .
@@boogerbeans could you take the tail off the pikachu? If yes then it was probably the same cake topper toy I got too.
@@RaNdomHeRo20 I don't think so but then again I never tried taking off its tail . Maybe it did
The Looney Tunes is spelled like that because the same characters were in another series of films called Merrie Melodies. So it’s Tunes and Melodies, since they’re both musical.
That does make sense
The musical naming convention was also influenced by Disney’s Silly Symphonies shorts from the 20s and 30s. Many studios at the time used a similar title for their respective animated short film series in order to capitalise on the success of Silly Symphonies. Such examples include MGM’s Happy Harmonies, Universal’s Swing Symphony, and most famously Warner Bros Merry Melodies/Loony Tunes.
nah man it was toons
I always thought it was Looney Toons because the toons were cartoons or something
@@eddyhoopin it literally was never that. Most people stop watching them as they get older and have faulty memories from not watching it in years.

I think the “Life is like a box of chocolates” one was because when Forest was talking about his mom, she was dead. So he was attributing the quote to her

You have to keep the past tense in the second one. And since narrating the entire thing through description, it makes more sense for the quotes to be in-line like that. Which he also does for other quotes he attributes to people during scenes showing his narration.
I think the confusion of it had a lot to do with the accent he was using. He didn't enunciate "was" very well and it did kinda sound like "is"
the fruit of the loom makes me even more confused as i remember seeing an ad of someone in fruit of the loom clothes grabbing an apple from the cornucopia and telling how comfortable the clothes is and so does my siblings and everybody i know.
Legit freaky
It’s how I learned the word cornucopia
I remember a commercial in the 80's where the fruit of the loom guys step out of a cornucopia to sell under ware. I am highly affected, but at peace about it. It just is. I experienced several real time flip flops. If not for that, I would have written it off long ago. We won't know what it means until we know what it is.
I remember an ad like that from the early 90's. Thats crazy.
The cornucopia was sometimes used on kids cloths. It’s real.
The fruit of loom one got me, I know for a fact that the brown thing was in the back cause I always remember thinking that it looked like a croissant
I have this exact memory
YES
hey, creator of the iceberg here- very well done!! im glad you touched upon the most interesting entries as some are really boring lol, and the way you went about talking about these false memories is fantastic
though, minor error- the dazed and confused entry was referring to a scene in the movie dazed and confused where a globe was being spun around that seemingly had an all new landmass to the left of australia, which was proof we changed realities

About looney tunes! It's word play! In the early years of looney tunes the music was a MAJOR part of the animations. Along with this 'toons' is used a lot to refer to the characters so we probably all just got mixed up.
iirc it was a play on Disney's "Merry Melodies" shorts
Yep that's what that one is all about. Both of you guys are right. There's also the fact that the early shorts are very music heavy. Some are built around specific pieces of music while others had music composed to exactly fit the short.
The confusion 💯 comes from "cartoon" and "toon" making a little more sense to the average person so they just assume that is the correct spelling.
However, Merrie Melodies was just earlier Looney Tunes shorts. The Disney version was Silly Symphonies.
@@m1lkweed Merrie Melodies were also WB cartoons, not Disney.
The Snow White one is pretty interesting because in the German original story it's Spieglein Spieglein an der Wand (mirror mirror on the wall)
German is my native language, and I immediately thought the same.
There's this one Mandela Effect that always screws me up whenever I think about it.
So there was this Disney logo that used to play before movies (on DVD specifically, I think)
It was a pretty normal logo, but Tinker Bell would fly across the screen in an arc, followed by a trail of pixie dust, and tap the 'I' of the Disney logo to dot it. There was also a version or two where it didn't work and she'd get angry and red.
Well, apparently this doesn't exist. I can't find any trace of it. And I remember it so vividly, too, both versions, playing before Disney movies. I really wish I had all those old DVDs so I could try to find it.
Wait, I feel like I know what you’re talking about… I can picture this perfectly, wtf

Funny thing about Empire Strikes Back, the original line in the first cut of the movie, Vader says
"No Luke, I am your father."
So he actually said both but he says No Luke very quickly so it's easy to misquote it. In the re releases they changed it to No. Crazy shizz man.
ah i always thought it was no luke so thats why
but i actually never seen the original edition of empire
i have seen for new hope and return but not empire
@@walrus6429 honestly they've re released and updated the original trilogy so much that you may have heard him say "No Luke" from one of them. The newest releases just have him say No.
Damn Lucas messing around with the movie
I'm not sure this is true, even though Lucas likes to change around Vaders lines I've never heard of this besides it being a Mandela effect I'm pretty sure it's miss information
FYI: Snow White or "Schneewittchen" is a book made by two german brothers. The original quote was "Spieglein Spieglein an der Wand" which translates to "Mirror mirror on the wall"
most of these I feel like I can find an explanation for personally... EXCEPT for the fruit of the loom logo. the image of it is so engraved in my mind. I remember there being a point when they changed the logo to what it is now and how it was one of the first instances of really modernizing a logo. I also remember using the logo as a reference when I was little to ask my mom what a cornucopia was because I didn't know the name for it at the time.
That one especially I really don't get, like I remember it lol... how????
Same here. The other mandelas eh idc but fruit of the loom and dollys braces are the hill i will 1000000000% die on
what about monopoly not having a monocle anymore?
It’s always been that way though so you literally don’t remember it being different.
Ive never heard of it having a cornucopia except for in conversation about this "effect"
Memories can be very unreliable . you can be tricked into remembering something.
Indubetably
Also its pretty easy to misremember things. Like, when you look at a drawing or something like that, after a while you’ll start to think something was a little different (the clothing, the pose, etc). Idk if I worded this good.
Shaggy definitely had an Adam's apple, I talked about it with my mom, because I kinda looked like him. We were talking about his gotee, in the movie zombie island, I was asking why it was so pronounced & what it was. It's actually how I learned what an Adam's apple was, it was the scene where he's triming in the mirror.
bruh zombie island was actually one of the best films ever ngl
The Bug's Life 2 one is likely just one of the "out take scenes" from the end of Toy Story 2, where the characters from Bug's Life think they are filming shots for Bug's Life 2, without realising they are on the "set" of Toy Story 2.
Or the people who thought they saw a bugs life 2 had actually just seen ANTS and misremembered 😭

26:00 If you see a flipped "Swastica" that's not a swastica. That's a symbol of Buddhism and they appear on Japanese maps to mark the locations of temples.

My personal Mandella: as a kid I remember people saying I keep mixing up salt and pepper but the thing is always correcting my self based on what the last person said they were. It wasn't like I'd ask, they just always corrected me and they would always contradicted the last person. I was always certain though that salt was white and pepper was black though. Now as an adult the only explanations I have for it is either some one was fucking with me or I was an adhd kid with bad memory.
I'm not sure if this is a joke. I'll probably get an r/whoosh, but salt IS white and pepper IS black

Another thing to add on the Uncle Sam one, in the DC Comics (Yes Uncle Sam is a character in the DC Universe) his hat actually had red and white stripes on it. Maybe that could be another reason why people mistake his hat for having stripes.

And as soon as I found out the pikachu thing about 3-4 years ago, it disappeared, and to this day I still haven’t found it

Mine had a brown tail. I sold it last year during a garage sale, but I wish I had kept it.
I know it was Berenstein bears for a fact. I used to read the books as a kid, and always pronounced it as the "Berenstine" bears bc I was confused on which sound to use for the i and e combo. I vividly remember the epiphany I had when I realized it was pronounced "Berensteen"

I always found the Mandela Effect weird. Like it seems to just come down to us not taking in all of the details of an image and us assuming what would make the most sense, or just synthesizing multiple parts of something. Or sometimes adding context so it does not sound awkward out of nowhere.
Remember when the Mandela effect was widely recognized as just a weird phenomenon of mass misremembering, and NOT the result of some vaguely defined, pseudo-scientific shift between parallel universes?

I can swear that my memory of the Monopoly man having a monocle is very clear. It's a special memory for me when I was young since it's the first board game which was not boring for me (my first was snake and ladders, then chess) I can clearly remember that I was inspecting the box and looking at the Get Out of Jail Free card for a long time since I was trying to grasp the rules of the game.
I think it comes from this scene from a Jim Carrey movie:

The Mandela effect is really just a testament to the power of suggestion. I speculate for some of the examples on here, people don't remember things the wrong way until someone suggests otherwise, and it works because those memories really aren't that strong and are easily overwritten.
I think have one:
It's "Seasoned salt". Everybody I know has described lawry's brown salt as "seasoning salt" but it's not. The salt itself is seasoned.
What? I've interpreted it as "seasoned salt". I never thought someone would say it as "seasoning salt".
"Hello Clarice" was in Hannibal.

the one that actually grinds my gears: the turbines on a plane are in front of the wing - not under the wing. i clear as day remember playing all my childhood with toys of planes, all having the turbines under the wings. to be honest i think it looks ridiculous and can't get over it. :D
mirror mirror on the wall has appeared in many book adaptations but not the movie so thats why there is confusion
Yeah that's something that I really should have spoken about more in the video, the idea that the mandela effect in some instances have created a sort of self fulfilling prophercy of sorts, where the abridged version becomes real due to people saying it all the time

I don’t have issues with most Mandela effects other than Nelson Mandela. I have the most vivid memory of reading a book in 5th grade that said that he passed away in prison in the late 80’s. The weirder part is that I read this book in 2013 before he actually passed.
Interesting concerning pikachu’s tail. There is a form of Pikachu that has a black tip on its tail. It’s called cosplay Pikachu and is a special form found in Pokémon omega ruby and alpha sapphire.
I think the games came out after the Mandela effect became popular, but it’s still interesting.

I also thought that The North Pole was a physical place. I think it’s because Santa is supposed to live there and in any media depicting him in the North Pole, it’s always depicted as a land made up of ice and snow, just like Antartica.
Yeah I remember when I was younger I was always confused trying to find the north pole on a map lol
I believe the "A Bug's Life 2" Mandela Effect comes from the Toy Story 2 out takes. One of them featured Flik and Heimlich talking about being in a sequel, with Flik believing it is A Bug's Life 2 before Heimlich tells him that it's not. Maybe some people misremember that scene as being a trailer? Some Pixar trailers for sequels consist on the characters talking about how a sequel is coming, so that could be the reason
“There is no land mass at the North Pole”
Well, my life is a lie.
I swear on my life that Mr. Monopoly had a monocle.

The crazy thing about the fruit of the loom mandella effect is that THE CREATOR of the logo said he also remembered there being a cornucopia
With the James Bond one; I wonder if some people confused it with something said in the James Bond Jr. cartoon from the 1990's, he said something like that just about every Saturday morning for a while.
Memories are fairly malleable and suggestible. Not only is it true that the more you remember or retell something the more likely it is to become inaccurate, but it’s not uncommon for someone else to suggest that something happened and you start to remember it happening even if it didn’t. Given that humans are such a social species it’s not surprising that this phenomenon exists and is so prevalent.
(Note: this doesn’t seem to apply to people groups with a vivid verbal tradition of passing down histories or stories by mouth, so my guess it that it’s also heavily influenced by culture)
Aaahh this vid was so mind boggling, it's so strange how we create false memories and can be so certain of things that aren't real... Great video as always!!! The comparison pic quiz was a fun idea, the fruit of the loom logo still annoys me I swear there was a cornucopia!!!

Pokemon fan since the beginning here, it bothers me that the Pikachu tail is a thing because it is easily proven wrong. Pokemon is a highly recorded franchise there is no way something like that would not be common trivia if it was real. The black tip tailed pikachu is a combo of 3 things that thrown casual fans off guard. 1- we drew it like that as kids and people that don't look at pikachu often may still remember it that way. 2-Bootleg items, they are very common and often get details wrong. Messing up pikachus tail is especially common on bootleg items. 3- Cosplay pikachu. In 2014 Pokemon remade Ruby and Sapphire and added a special pikachu that can wear costumes and learn different moves known as cosplay Pikachu. She has a black tipped tail and appears often in cards and other games like Smash bros Ultimate and Pokken, mostly in the Libre outfit. Sorry for the long rant this Mandela affect really does not work for people familiar with Pokemon. We remember all the details too well.
As a fellow pokemon lover, I'm glad someone said it.
the reason that its Tunes is because music was a huge focus of the show. watch any of the older episodes and follow along with the music. every movement, emotion, EVERYTHING is highlighted by the music :) yeah cartoon has two os, but its looney tunes for a reason :)

They're basically a circular popsicle with three circles; pink outside, yellow middle, orange center. But... I distinctly remember the pink and orange or yellow being switched. And the brand has not changed it as far as I know, so I have no idea if it's real.

Fascinating
"Elementary, my dear Watson" appeared in a stage play. "Hello, Clarice" and the sunglasses in Risky Business, as well as the Forrest Gump line definitely come from spoofs. I feel like SNL should probably take a huge amount of the blame for that. Monopoly Man having a monocle probably comes from mixing up memories with Mr. Peanut.
I can probably make some explanations on some of them:
The Berenstein Bears: Albert Einstein, Frankenstein, Frankenstein's Monster, Weinstein, a beer stein, lots of things have "stein" either as a separate word, or at the end of someone's name, so people tend to think that it's "Berenstein".
The Monopoly Man: People tend to think that sophisticated rich people have monocles, & considering that the Monopoly Man is considered a sophisticated person, there's going to be people thinking he did have one.
Pikachu's Tail: His ears have black at the end of them, so people would assume that the tail would have black at the end of it as well.
Fruit of the Loom: The cornucopia completes the logo for a lot of people as the fruit standing there makes it look like an unfinished piece of artwork that was then slapped onto some underwear.
Fruit Loops: "Froot" is not the official way to spell the word outside of the cereal, so people would think that it says "fruit" instead of "froot".
Elementary, My Dear Watson: I guess a lot of people probably remember Sherlock Holmes In the 22nd Century when it aired on Fox Kids, but don't remember the name.
The Fonz's Ayyyyy: There was a Hanna-Barbera cartoon based off the show from back in the 1980s, & it had Fonz doing that. So it's kind of like the one above.
Risky Business Dance Scene: Probably because it just looks cooler with sunglasses.
Captain Crunch: Ok, who else uses "Cap'n"? Lemme guess, nobody else? Exactly.
A Bug's Life 2: Probably people misremembering Dreamworks's Antz, which came out the same year.
Baloo In Coconut Bra: Most women are like that because they don't want to show the biggies onscreen, less they want to deal with censorship by the FCC.
Starbucks Crown: Might have to do with the Pakistani flag having a moon, & a star on the bottom tip of the moon, so people would say it has a normal crown so not to offend any Muslims.
Scarecrow With a Gun: The kids who were able to spot the gun probably had better eyesight than most kids at the time.
Mickey's Clothes: Some people questioned how Mickey has been able to keep his shorts up for that long, even if he's going through crazy adventures, or flying in the air at high speeds.
Rubix Cube: Probably has something to do with the "X-TREEEEMEEE!!!" thing of the 1990s, not to mention X being a cool letter in general.
Daniel's Headband: Japan IS the Land of the Rising Sun.
Target Logo: Most archery practice areas have practice targets with 2, or more white rings.
Ghandi: I'm surprised it isn't "Gandi", but I guess it has to do with words such as "ghastly", "ghost", "ghee", & the country of Ghana.
Einstein's Insanity Quote: Intelligent people tend to say quotes like that, so it makes sense with that in mind. Not to mention nobody actually knows who really said it. It just randomly appeared out of nowhere from some person, & this quote was apparently so inspirational that it caught on into the present day.
Frosty wears a scarf: Most snowmen wear scarfs, & people making snowmen almost never forget about the scarf.
Swastika is Flipped: Probably because it's essentially a Manji turned diagonal.
The Grinch's Full Title: How would anybody else be able to do that without getting caught at least once!?
The Name's Bond, James Bond: It sounds a lot cooler that way. Plus it sounds more in-character to what he is.
Tony the Tiger's Nose: Tigers in real life have a black nose, & most fictional tigers have black noses as well, so this one is easy to understand.
The USA Has 60 States: They're probably counting other US-owned territories like Guam, U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, Puerto Rico, Baker Island, Midway Atoll, Palmyra Atoll, & Howland Island.
Peace Symbol is Upside Down: It looks like a happy person that wants peace!
The North Pole Has Land Mass: Ties into the whole Santa Claus myth that people thought was a real person. People think Santa Claus lives there alongside with the elves, & reindeer.
The Pyramids Are Aligned With Orion's Constellation: This one might have to deal with the whole Illuminati/New World Order conspiracy theory that can also be linked towards the possibility of aliens being real, especially since some people believe that aliens built the Pyramid of Giza.

"if I look up a picture of Pikachu I will never see him with a black tipped tail"
Uh false, there's a specific Pikachu called Cosplay Pikachu that actually DOES have a black tipped tail. I don't know when this Mandela Effect first appeared but if it was more recent maybe this specific Pikachu could be the reason?
I have a memory of the black tip on the tail but I was never a fan I remember drawing pikachu a few times when I was little with the black tip on the tail but I don’t remember solidly if I’ve actually seen the cartoon like that
Now I’m much older both versions look right 🤷🏻♀️
Looney tunes is called that because they were kinda like music videos at first.
The key thing Looney tunes is missing nowadays is the joining of music and animation.
Ok so I swear it's berenstein bears. Like pronounced berenstain, but spelled differently. Like I used to watch it all the time and I SWEAR it was berenstein. Also, as a person who drinks a lot of Starbucks, it always had the star
I say berenstain bears, but it's spelt berenstein
The hitler one screws me up. I always thought the hypocrisy was that Hitler had dark brown hair and eyes. I have had so many personal Mandela effects which is one of those things that I just think is my imagination. I remember many things from childhood that never happened but again I think it’s just us imagining something that maybe weirdly we wished happened.
The Reason people remember "The Bearstenstain Bears" being pronounced not as "Stain" but as "Steen" is because of the Chick's Accent who sings the Theme Song.
She's pronouncing it correctly, yes. But because of her Accent it sounds like she's saying "Steen" rather than "Stain".
That target one really got me when I first heard it, I vividly remember as a kid going to target for the first time thinking how weird it was that it had a white bull's eye instead of red like a target normally has. I didn't go to target for a few years then got a job there and that was the first time in a while I really noticed the logo, I thought "oh they must have realized how weird the logo looks with a white center and redesigned it", finding out it never had a white center just baffles me cause that is such a clear memory
For the Mr. Rogers Neighborhood entry, even the official spinoff Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood gets it wrong in the themesong.
for the "Swastika is flipped" entry i think that refers to how the swastika used to be associated with peace before being flipped and used by the Axis powers and then being inevitably associated with Axis powers and Hitler.

The Hannibal Lector quote “Hello Clarice, it’s good to see you again” actually comes from the movie Cable Guy, the Medieval Times scene. Jim Carrey puts food on his face and says it
Well, Jiffy is a brand of cornbread mix though😂
For us 90's kids, one explanation for Looney Tunes mandela effect is that there was another series during that time: Tiny Toon Adventures, which stars new young characters who are counterparts for Bugs, Daffy, Sylvester etc. It does have that more logical "Toon"-word, so it's no wonder people get these names mixed.
It was a missed oppurtunity to not talk about The Silence of the Lambs quote "Hello, Clarice" while the moth was in your room.
Forest Gump, the line is spoken as "life _is_ like a box of chocolates, you never know what you're gonna get," but it was said by Forest's mother before she passed. He said "my momma always said that life _was_ like a box of chocolates," when attributing the quote to her
I think the misremembered “hello Clarice” is because at the very end of the movie Hannibal calls Clarice and says “well Clarice” which sounds super close to “hello Clarice” and it is the start of a phone call which we associate with the word “hello”. And earlier in the movie Hannibal does greet Clarice with “good evening, Clarice” which like before is the start of a conversation which as humans we associate with words like “hello”
Okay for the Forrest Gump quote. In the opening of the movie Forrest quotes “life WAS LIKE a box of chocolates” referencing his mothers saying. But later in the movie when his mother is on her death bed she says to him “life IS a box of chocolates.” I think its fair to assume that people are just combining the two quotes and making up “life IS LIKE a box of chocolates.”, swapping the WAS with the IS. Because technically the quote is being said in the movie even if indirectly.

I think a good example of how the mandala effect works for myself is the fact that I never thought I remembered seeing a cornucopia on the fruit of the loom logo until I was told that it's a mandala effect and seeing the version with the cornucopia.

I actually have my own personal mandela effect thing: basically when i first started playing A Hat in Time i would always misremember the character Cooking Cat as having blonde fur and green eyes when in reality she has orange fur and yellow eyes, i'm assuming i remembered her like this because i actually have a cat IRL with blonde fur and there are other cat characters in AHIT with green eyes...crazy stuff
I've been chewing on a personal mandela effect for years now.
When I was in highschool, a friend and I were The Simpsons Kids (tm). We'd quote simpsons and futurama back and forth, reference it through the day, watched it daily for years because it was in local tv every afternoon.
One day, in casual conversation, we quoted that "whale expert" line from futurama, and then started talking about how unfair the guy was for calling Leela's swimsuit ugly, when it was just, some black/green petrol color.
Another one of our friends looked at us and said "guys, the swimsuit's orange, that was the joke". We thought she had to be wrong- we were the experts. Then we looked it up and it was orange. I swear I still remember it being black, with petrol green highlights.
That was like ten years ago, but I still think about it! My best theory is that we got it mixed with a training suit the same character wears in another episode. Still, fun stuff.
I think I can somewhat explain the pikachu tail one, there are many pikachu cosplay variants (Pikachu wearing a costume) to name a few Pikachu libre, Pikachu rock star & Pikachu pop star. To my understanding this is a specific female variant of Pikachu and it has a black heart on its tail
I know pikachu had a black rectangle on his tail for a fact when I was little I drew an picture off the internet of pikachu with black on the tail
The Forest Gump quote is said in the movie, just not by Forest, but by his mother.
In the scene where she is on her death bed she says “Life’s like a box of chocolates Forest. You never know what you’re gonna get.” which is probably where people get confused. Because he is talking about her from a past perspective so he says “was” and the quote from the mother contains “is”. So people probably incorrectly combined the two and thought he said that version of the quote.
