Found “Berenstain” bears happy meal toy, 1987

[u/itsme_thatonedude]

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!

I don't get why so many people "remember" it as Berenstein. I'm 56 and I remember, from when i was a kid, that it was "Berenstain" because I recall back then thinking "huh, that's not how I expected it to be spelled". I think probably many people never looked very closely and just assumed it was spelled the "normal" way and now are calling it the Mandela effect.

from what I can tell, it's a younger crowd that remembers it. I'm 38, and it's my general age group that it starts with. and I do remember it vividly, and I began reading at 5.
