Just wondering...Have you heard of it? Thoughts on reasons behind it?
Website with examples Here

Personally, I freaked out when I saw the VW and Ford logos on street vehicles (with the - previously absent - VW bar division and F "squiggle").

*Some other things I recall: Looney Toons (v. Tunes), Kit - Kat (hyphenated), Home Depot (not The) & Sex IN the City (not And).

I think some are just false memories apart from the blonde in the Bond Movie , she definitely had a brace when she smiled at jaws , the whole scene doesn't even work without it , it was the whole point of the smile.... i will find a link

Its just so weird. If it is true, then whats the point of rewriting history, beginning with seemingly negligible stuff?

I am convinced the Fruit of the Loom logo always had a cornucopia. It's how I learned what a cornucopia is. Everyone I talk to (before I tell them it doesn't) think it has a cornucopia. No, I did not run into cornucopias at any other point in my life, my memories of ever seeing it are connected to Fruit of the Loom. Whenever I see that logo without the cornucopia I feel uneasy. Same with some of the others, but this one I am the surest of.

I remember the jinglefrom the commercials as "Fruit of the Loom... the Cornucopia..."

Haha nice to see this subject, I studied it since 2016 when it really blew up. Follow all the good YT channels on it. It's absolutely a thing and not just false memories.

Was there a FotL advert featuring a cornucopia, perhaps?

Huh, that's pretty cool. I thought the Mandela effect was something that made you spontaneously want to protest someone's incarceration. I guess so long as memories are accurate enough on the whole, there's nothing to really be concerned about. But it does make me think of confabulation (false memories). I've experienced that as part of my psychological issues from time to time, and it's definitely a little scary.

I have no idea because I have no real way of verifying if I'm constantly entering alternate realities that are very similar to each other. Memories can sometimes be false memories. But because there is no proof against it, I keep an open mind.

I think its about the memories on a massive scale... thus pointing to actual veracity.
