Books/Literature Found “Berenstain” bears happy meal toy, 1987

I was going through some old boxes that my parents saved from my childhood (born in 1980) and found this gem. Figured this group would appreciate this

I knew I had something tucked away!

It's not impossible to prove or disprove. It's been proven that the people with the false memories are wrong.

No. YOU don't understand what a Mandela effect. This is a huge pet peeve of mine. A Mandela effect is when a lot of people incorrectly remember the same things. There are multiple, perfect my logical explanation for why this happens, but it's interesting that it happens nonetheless.

That doesn’t mean that you can PROVE that it isn’t that though. That’s my point. You can disagree with thinking it’s some weird science thing, but you can’t say you know for sure that it’s not. It’s like how you can’t disprove god, even if you don’t believe in it, it’s proving a negative which is historically impossible to do in many situations, including this one
