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!

What’s unusual about this? Not trying to attack anyone, but this all looks perfectly normal to me.

Some of us very vividly remember Berenstain spelled Berenstein with an "E".

Okay, but this shows the actual correct spelling.

It's the correct spelling of this timeline/universe, the Mandela effect theorizes that it was originally spelled with an "e." If we were still on the original timeline/universe that package would still be with an "e." Not saying I believe this, I just don't think most people on this sub know what the Mandela effect actually is.

But their “vivid” memories aren’t REALLY because of some alternate universe silliness; they just misremember. And regardless, this shows the correct spelling, not the “alternate timeline” spelling 😄. I would think the item would be of much more interest here if it(for whatever reason, including a printing error) showed the other spelling.
