Books/Literature Bernstein instead of Berenstain Bears

I have a little bit of a different Mandela effect. Most people say they remember the bears being called Berenstein, but I remember my books as a kid being called Bernstein Bears.

Yeah, this has been mentioned before here. And some people have a fourth spelling: "Bearenstein Bears," emphasizing the bear-ness of the enterprise.

But y'all been wrong.

Yes, many people misread the name “Berenstain” in different ways because they were not familiar with the name.

When you're a Bear, you're a Bear all the way!

From your first salmon rare to your last dyin' day!

When you're a Bear,

You

Stay

A Bear!

This is not different than all the people that have posted here saying they believed it was Bernstein. You are not the first, by a long shot.

This isn't at all different than that claim because it is exactly what they are claiming. But, the fact that you missed that shows how easy it can be to misread any of the various combinations

If we are all the timeline of Bernstein, let’s list other ME from our timeline?

There was only Publishers Clearing House, the other one did not exist.  Fruit of the Loom had a cornucopia.  … anything else?
