The Mandela Effect is a phenomenon where a large group of people believe an event happened differently than it did. It can also refer to a situation where people remember events that never happened.
Examples of the Mandela Effect:
Some people think the classic children’s book was called Berenstein Bears instead of Berenstain Bears.
Some people think peanut butter is called “Jiffy” instead of “Jif”.
Some people think Monopoly Man has a monocle.
Some people think Pikachu has a black-tipped tail.
Some people think Darth Vader said “Luke, I am your father”.
How does the Mandela Effect happen?
The Mandela Effect can occur when a person or group has clear but false memories.
Some doctors believe the Mandela Effect is a form of confabulation, which is when a person creates a false memory to fill in gaps in their memory.
