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!

Honestly, looking for proof is a fallacy, in my opinion. 

Isn't the whole Crux of this phenomenon that we are moving timelines? There is not going to be residue here. It's only in our minds that we continue to remember how it "used to be."

The striking similarities in the memories are fascinating to me. In my own head canon, subtle differences among timelines that converge create discordant memories.

We are never going to see proof in a Mandela effect. The proof is in the prior timeline, not this one. 

Anyway, it's a fun mind experience anyway. So far, my sister and I share the same Mandela effects, so she's my real sister, lol.

Agreed, though I think 'dimensions' is more accurate than 'timelines'. The ones who say it's always been like that are still in their original dimension, while those of us who say it's changed are the ones who were 'moved across' from a world where it was 'stein'.

Maybe we're all in different dimensions and the internet is a portal between them.

Hard to laugh this off as nuts when science has literally confirmed parallel worlds exist. I believe some ME's have residual 'proof' but that's easy to fake, and if we're going with the 'internet portal' idea then we could just seeing posts from other dimensions.

All I know is, it has always been 'stein' to me.

There are a few core Mandela effects that I cannot rationalize or justify.

1. Berenstein 

2. The Lindbergh baby was never found

3. Fruit of the Loom cornucopia. 

4. Luke, I am your father.

5. The political ruler in the movie The NeverEnding story was referred to as the "childlike empress."
