    Thar reminds me how I misread “Disney” as “Disnep” in their cursive logo for a long time in my childhood. Does that mean there is a Disnep dimension out there? :P

    Wait until people watch old shows from the 90s set in NYC, and there’s these two buildings in the skyline. But when you go to NYC, those buildings DON’T EVEN EXIST!!!

      My two acceptable hypotheses:

      • We are in a simulation and these are remnants from server migration/discrepancies in the instances.
      • These are dry runs of the man seeing what history they can get away with rewriting and convince us was true.

      No. I cannot create false memories. Nope. I can’t do it. I won’t listen to you. It’s not true! Nonononononononooooooooooooooooooooo! This isn’t my fault! 👉😫👈 lalalalalala

      Motherfuckers… is this why i’ve been remembering shit that other people say never happened? or remembering something people said and then them saying they said something different? wait i recently saw a movie about some guy trying to break out of his reality by flying a rocket to the edge of the universe and has been dimension hoping the entire trip, this is trippy…

      Edit: i can’t find the name of the movie but the plot is as described and he realises he is dimension hoping because his partner is suddenly alive after he killed him or he died in an accident on the ship, can’t remember what happened and at the end he also realises he is in a loop and after he crashes into the edge he chooses the dimension in which he never went into space and escapes the loop, anyone have an idea of what the movie might be called or am i just trippin balls and that movie doesn’t exist in this dimension?

        I mean, if you want the real answer, it’s just that it is incredibly easy to create false memories. Then add in all the social pressure fun that can warp your viewpoint, and you’re off to the races.

    It’s interesting that when you see them laid out like this you can more easily see the reasons people could have come to remember this way.

    For instance, conflating Jif and Skippy as essentially the same product, or getting an association of missing letters from the “eat mor chik’n” cows ad campaign.

      Agreed, also by putting so many together like this, you’re gonna have some people who don’t remember it that way. Like the Monopoly guy is half-convincing to me, but I’m pretty sure it’s just a mix-up with Mr. Peanut.

      My personal reason for messing up Chick Fil A in my head is because there used to be a different chicken restaurant chain where I grew up called Krispy Chic. Not sure if any are still open, but all the ones in aware of closed down decades ago.

      Left hand is what people “remember” right hand is actual reality.

      Anyone who remembered it as “Looney Toons” and not “Looney Tunes” apparently missed the “Merrie Melodies” as well.

      I dunno, so many of these I remember them as they actually exist.

        Looney Tunes was called Looney Tunes because they we cartoons that had nothing to do with the music but WB had to use the music in some way to keep the rights. So Looney Tunes are music videos. Change my mind.

        Some of them are real, some of them are not. The Febreze one for example is fake.

          Fruit of the Loom with the Cornucopia: Fake
          Curious George with a tail: Fake (I know because I had the fucking Curious George huffing ether shirt in college.)
          Chic-Fil-A: Fake (Link to Chick-Fil-A’s founder S. Truet Cathy’s book “Eat Mor Chikin” published in 2002)
          Looney Toons: Fake
          Fruit Loops: Fake
          Oscar Meyer: Fake (I often confused the two spellings as a kid because we often bought Oscar Mayer hot dogs from Fred Meyer.)
          Berenstein Bears: Not fake, more of a matter of different publications running with different spellings.
          Jiffy: Fake
          Febreeze: Fake (link to archived post from 1996 in an ad magazine announcing P&G releasing Febreze)

          Okay Maybe I’ll come back and finish digging up the evidence for all of these, but literally the Pikachu one is the only one I’m unsure about. I’m positive everything else on the left hand side has been completely debunked or is a situation like the Berenstain Bears where different publishers used different spellings, especially in the home videos.

            Pikachu with a dark tail tip is definitely fake. The main variation that was added later on was a heart-shaped tail for female Pikachu, and like another user mentioned, marking that one black for the unique Cosplay Pikachu.

            I worked in a library twenty something years ago and once held copies of the same Berenstain/Berenstein Bears story, but with the different spellings.

            You’re right that they just changed it in subsequent printings. Over time, the older copies wore out and got replaced by the new editions.

            Well sure it’s been debunked but the myth is that a timeline jump means historical records are going to be different from your memory.

            So the proof that Looney Tunes is a myth isn’t in historical documents but from my memory where I know it was Tunes because of Merry Melodies. My memory agrees with historical proof.

    I recently did some digging on the fruit of the loom logo because I remember learning the word cornucopia and connecting it with the logo on my T-shirts and underwear.

    Yeah, I was mistaken. The dye on some of the clothes just made the logo look like there was a cornucopia. Like the leaves on the side being brown and a tiny bit of those leaves at the top right with the small white grapes at the bottom right also looking the same brown color? It definitely looks like a cornucopia until you look very closely.

    (The logo shown in the image above is a more modern one, look at the earlier ones from around the turn of this century and you’ll see it better)
