Mandela effects are when a large amount of people remember something one way, even if it never was that way. The term comes from the widespread belief that Nelson Mandela passed away in prison in the 1980s. When he really died in 2013 as a free man, there was a lot of confusion as to why so many had remembered him dying thirty years earlier. Over the years, hundreds of Mandela effects have been discovered. For example, many people remember the Monopoly Man wearing a monocle, but he never has.
Curious George has been falsely remembered with a tail. People even say they specifically remember books or episodes in which he used his tail to hang from tree branches and to steal the man's hat. This couldn't have happened though, because he never had a tail. There are countless small Mandela effects like how Froot Loops is correct and Fruit Loops is not. Jif Peanut Butter is how it always was, but people swear it was Jiffy. So many people remember the Fruit of the Loom logo having a cornucopia, but it doesn't. One of the most shocking is probably the Mona Lisa. Mona Lisa supposedly didn't smile at all before. So many remember her being expressionless, but now if you see the painting, she very obviously has a smile, even if it is small. There are several theories as to why so many people have these false memories. The first is that time travel does exist and it has just slightly altered small things in reality such as logos. Another explanation is that memories can be wrong. Lastly, there is the theory of alternate realities. In this idea, alternate universes are mixing which causes groups of people to have the same memories, even if they are not “correct”.
