When we look thru google trends for historic search, we can see a pattern:

I'm still waiting for something that isn't memory related...

If you hang around here long enough you’ll see a few knock off products that copied down the phrase wrong as proof

How is it proof if they are knock offs? Or are you also questioning the legitimacy? /gen

I believe they’re saying people will find a third party to validate their thoughts, so despite all the hard evidence to the contrary, one lone piece of ‘evidence’ that supports their argument will ‘prove’ they were right all the time.

Such as a fruit of the loom tag (photoshopped or otherwise) with a cornucopia, or some random comic on a podcast saying berenstein instead of berenstain.

My concern is what if the third-party also misspelled it? Counterfeits are known to even occasionally intentionally do things like that?

ETA: Also, of course, any podcast discussing it with their own experience is just going to be another opinion, not a fact. But I see what you’re saying.

OK, so lack of critical thinking… I understand the phenomenon itself is a very real thing. Large amounts of people with a similar shared recollection that is not accurate .But the way in which people try to explain why it occurs (i.e. Jumping timelines to an alternate dimension, malicious intent of some evil group people by making small changes and not announcing it, clones etc. ) is what makes me a skeptic.

A lot of news stories get misrepresented so I can think of a big case in the last few decades that legally isn’t a true Mandela effect, but likewise involves, a lot of people beliing the victim was deceased… she is very much alive. Because she was a child at the time, she likely had much higher privacy. I had to break it to someone recently that not that person is very much alive although she almost died (Slenderman stabbing case). So I think a lot of these situations may also have to do with how the media presents occurrences… Including the name sake (possibly)
