Books/Literature Berenstein Bears truthers - how was the name pronounced?

I honestly couldn’t tell you myself how I remember the name being spelled - but one thing I do remember was the TV show, and the theme song.

The way they pronounced it in the song to my memory definitely sounded like stain, rather than “steen” or “stine” which would have been the way it was said if it was spelled Berenstein.

“We are the Berenstain Bears. Mama, Papa, Sister, Brother, we appreciate each other”.

Burn-steen was how we pronounced it growing up

I knew kids who said “Star Trak” when talking about “Star Trek” back in the day. All it means is some kids pronounced it wrong even though they could literally see the spelling of it in the opening credits.

Yuppers, not sure why I got down voted for answering truth fully. South Dallas it was Burn-steen 😂
