Is it “Barenstein Bears” or “Barenstain Bears” - This is one of the most famous examples of The Mandela Effect. What is the Mandela Effect? In simple terms, the Mandela Effect is a shared false memory in a large group of people. Everyone remembers a certain thing, when it is actually completely different. More than half of the population recall that they have been effected by the Mandela Effect. Another popular example of the Mandela effect is, Mickey Mouse having a tail or not. Mandela Effects can be super controverisal. People have arguements between a false memory and a real thing.
When did The Mandela Effect start? The Mandela Effect has been around for a while, but it started getting lots of attention in the past 10+ years. Fiona Broome, a paranormal researcher / author, recalled Nelson Mandela dying while in prison in the 1980s. When in reality he was alive. That’s how the Mandela Effect got its name. Fiona Broom did lots of research, and asked people about Nelson Mandela. Many people thought the same thing about him. Fiona Broome was very intrigued about why so many people had the same false memory. She later created a website and wanted other people to share their thoughts to see if everyone thought the same. This caused the Mandela Effect to go viral.
Currently, the Mandela Effect is a popular trend on Tiktok, with Nelson Mandela being the face of the Mandela Effect. Except, most of those “Mandela Effects” are not real. They are just trying to funny. I personally have experienced some of the more popular Mandela Effects. It is so interesting how we can remember things certain ways, and it actually being totally different.
Here are some more examples of the Mandela Effect -
- Jif Peanut Butter or Jiffy Peanut Butter
- Looney Tunes or Looney Toones
- Oscar Mayer or Oscar Meyer
- Kit Kat or Kit-Kat
- Pikachu having a stripe on his nail or not
- Monopoly man having monocle or not

I beleive in the mandela effect, not as some strange effect but as instances of people having similar connections. It makes sense that people could remeber the monoply guy with a monicle becuase it fits his charecter. The madela effect is due to imperfect and impressionable memories.
I feel like some mandela effects are not real, but some are.
i think its kinda real but it could just be because companies changed the way things look after a perioud of time. yes ig i do
I think that this effect is super interesting. I have noticed a lot of different scenarios where this effect comes into play. Seeing the images above really made me notice how much this happens in every day life. I personally beleive that this is not a real thing, just a strange occurance.
I understand how you think about the mandela effect.
I think the mandela effect is very interseting but also weird and confusing. It is our brain playing tricks on us or giving us false memory of something that didn't happen. I do not belive in the mandela effect.
I think that it is very interesting how people can have a false memory of something. I think that the Mandela effect is just our brains playing a trick on us, giving us a memory of something that isn't true. Sometimes our brains can't remember everything, correctly, that has happened.
I think it is pretty interesting too.
I think that the mandela effect is very interesting because how did more than half the population lose their memory for certain things? I wouldn't say I believe in it, just that it is due to poor memory and not paying attention to the first time you see something.
I think the mandela effect is very intersting too.
