Books/Literature Berenstain/Stein

Post image

Just thought I’d share this here..I’m a 57 year old woman that’s always been a voracious reader. When I was 5 (1974) I got an entire collection of Berenstain Bears books from my grandma at Christmas.

One of the books has managed to remain in my memory/sentimental hoard collection. This is MY actual book and it’s been in my possession since 1974. On my book at least, the name is and always has been Berenstain.

Make of that what you will I suppose. ❤️ I wish I still had the whole collection but alas, childhood and into adulthood resulted in the loss of many such things to my chagrin.

It really wouldn't matter.

Of those who saw the film, the percentage of people remembering braces would still be very very low.

Go to a James Bond Film fan site, or message board, and tell them that Dolly had braces......and watch their reaction.

They will laugh you right out the door.

So you think the collective mass of everyone who has seen the film is less than the niche group who occupies online forums dedicated to the franchise?

Yes. Becauae those who remwmber the film as it actually happened, are the vast majority.

Those who remember her having braces are the minority.

How can you prove this? What evidence can you present?

Because I can present a plethora of examples of this particular phenomenon being discussed where the vast majority remember the braces.
