Personal Experience Berenstein/Berenstain Bears evidence of parallel universes

Oliver Twist's famous line is “Please, sir, I want some more.”

Didn't this use to be a question? I remember it being "Please, sir, may I have some more?"
Wow the trippiest thing is I was about to say that the reason for this being misremembered would be that after he says the line, the master says back to him "MORE, ASK FOR MORE?"... which would be why people would misremember - the master implies he has asked a question so people remember it as such.

But now the master doesn't even say that? He just says "MORE?"

That's blown my mind, does anybody else remember that?

From a reddit post years ago....

There is no proof that there was ever a cornucopia in the Fruit of the Loom Logo.

Although very many people remember the logo as an assortment of fruit in the foreground of a large cornucopia, evidence suggests that this cornucopia simply never existed. So many people were perturbed by this idea that the FOTL website created a page that specifically outlines previous iterations of the logo, none of which feature any clear semblance of a cornucopia.

Online forums of people comparing their thoughts on this Mandela Effect are filled with admissions of shock and bafflement. A surprising amount of people corroborated being in a similar situation in their childhood. They would ask their parents about the appearance of the logo: "What is the thing behind the fruit, is it a loom?" After laughing, their parents would explain to them that it was a 'cornucopia' or 'horn of plenty', a symbol of abundance. The commenters would explain: "It's impossible that it never existed! The Fruit of the Loom logo was the source of my initial learning of what a cornucopia was!"

One user (ceramicsaturn) made a post on the subject of the FOTL logo that quickly gained popularity. In the body of the post, he explains that his father worked for Fruit of The Loom in the era in which the logo supposedly contained the cornucopia. Learning of this Mandela Effect, he contacted his father:

I texted him the logo with the cornucopia in it, and said "You worked there. Do you not remember this as their logo?". The response I got was, "I did and do remember it". I then called him, and he asked why we were talking about something like this. I told him how I was watching the X Games this weekend, which was sponsored by them, and noticing the logo had it removed. After going on the internet to realize it apparently never had the cornucopia in it. He got very defensive immediately, as if someone was calling him a liar, and said, "What do you mean it wasn't in the logo? I have things in storage with that logo stitched on it. I know I saw that thing every day for years." ... the logo thing got him very worked up.

If you google the logo right now at this moment, you will see the variant with the cornucopia. This is because people have used photoshop to create renditions of what they remember the logo looking like. Clicking on the links will lead you to image hosting sites and threads discussing this Mandela Effect, nothing producing information about a legitimate cornucopia including logo.

There are ideas on why people might have imagined or placed the cornucopia with the fruit in their memory. There are certainly cultural examples of a horn of plenty being paired with fruits or vegetables. Icons and representations of Halloween and thanksgiving often use this imagery. There are previous variations of the logo that have brown leaves in the background, leaves that may appear match to the color and shape of a horn of plenty. When you combine these postulations with the content of the testimonies from people who swear to have seen the cornucopia logo, you start to wonder how this popular of a false memory could have ever occurred. Surely, it is impossible that this large of a population made this visual error?

One user (MyThought2UrThoughts) found trademark details for Fruit of The Loom from 1973 that mentions the word cornucopia under 'Design Searches':

"Berries. Grapes (alone or in bunches). Apples. Baskets, bowls, and other containers of fruits, including cornucopia (horn of plenty)."

This is the only written record associating a cornucopia with Fruit of the Loom designs, but its authenticity can be challenged since it is simply found on a private website that catalogs patents and trademarks.

There are posts upon posts of people telling their own stories, others trying to find any record or proof of an official inclusion, but so far there has been nothing definitive. After poring over the evidence, any rational person would accept that this variation of the logo likely never existed. There is an expectation that someone will eventually find an old piece of clothing that contains the cornucopia logo, finally showing the world that it did indeed exist. But after countless forum posts and amateur investigations, it is seeming more a fantasy that will never come to fruition.

Just on Shazaam vs Kazaam....

Many people remember Sinbad specifically in Shazaam, as well as Shaq in Kazaam, especially because "twin movies" is a thing. Two very similar movies, same story/theme, that release close together, happens a lot....

Deep Impact ... Armageddon
Dante's Peak ... Volcano
White House Down ... Olympus Has Fallen
A Bugs Life ... Antz
The Illusionist ... The Prestige
Truman Show ... Ed TV
Wyatt Earp ... Tombstone


-----


Twin films are films with the same, or very similar, plot produced or released at the same time by two different film studios. The phenomenon can result from two or more production companies investing in similar scripts around the same time, resulting in a race to distribute the films to audiences. Some attribute twin films to industrial espionage, the movement of staff between studios, or that the same screenplays are sent to several film studios before being accepted. Another possible explanation is if the films deal with topical issues, such as volcanic eruptions, reality television, terrorist attacks or significant anniversaries, resulting in multiple discovery of the concept.Screenwriter Terry Rossio notes that there are always multiple film projects with similar subjects being developed in multiple studios while usually only one of them makes it into production in a given period of time, and therefore twin films are better regarded as exceptions.

Had pretty much the same exact experience with a friend of mine. He’s 35, never owned a cell phone, no computer, no social media at all. Works in a factory, is a complete sports nut, especially NBA. Grew up watching Shaq and can rattle off games and statistics like no ones business. Also a movie nut when it comes to 80’s/90’s movies.

So he comes over one day, we are driving around and we’re taking about the Cosby show, then the topic moves to the spinoff A Different World. Sinbad comes up, and I say very nonchalant, “Hey what movies was sinbad in?” He starts naming them off, Jingle all the way, Shazam, Coneheads.

It didn’t even faze me, and I didn’t say anything more. I’ve asked dozens of different people my age, varied types of questions about Sinbad, never leading them, and 90% of them remember Shazam.
 
Mississippi River was always the longest river in the US, now it's apparently always been the Missouri River
Interesting. It depends on how the length is measured, which tributaries are included:

 
Nice segue into his sponsor at the end too.

Geographical MEs can be said imo to be more that the Earth is fluidly changing naturally, land gradually existing and extending as seas dry out, plates pushing underneath other plates etc, rather than traditional MEs where there is a sudden drastic change that defies explanation. If a genuine GeoME existed it would be something insane like Australia being always Austral not Australia, or it suddenly being shaped vastly different.

Anyway, a couple of youtube channels to focus on the geographical changes occuring around the world map....

Apollo 13 line (and even the shot itself when the line was delivered) flipped from Houston we have a problem...to....Houston we've had a problem....back to we have. People on reddit even saw the flip flop happen across a single night.
Has the confusion been caused by the movie? My recollection:

In real life, Jim Lovell calmly said "Houston we've had a problem" (big understatement!)

In the movie, a very alarmed Tom Hanks says "Houston we have a problem"

The ME revolves around the movie itself not the actual event i remember this well like others on reddit. There was a vivid debate that it had changed and then some time later, a year, literally overnight it flipped back. Including the very shot itself (close up to looking up shot back to close up) when the line is delivered
 
Same in this thread ...i remember the debate or agreement discussion had between people around the Thinker statue. All swearibg it was hand under chin, but that current time, it had vecome a facepalm....a few years later, suddenly its back to normal, hand under chin

The interesting thing is on reddit all those discussions in the past about Apollo 13 have also changed, posts no longer exist, things cant be searched for anymore, but also posts changing....where someone is saying "no its always been houston we've had a problem, and look here at the picture of the subtitles" only for that picture to now show "we had a problem" after the flip flop.

Wondering whether in this thread the Thinker discussion likewise

I remember watching a Sinbad movie in primary school around 1999 and I'm 90% sure it was Shazaam cause I made a comment after the movie about how there were 2 genie movies.

Also remember a classmate talking about Scary Movie in 2003 and quoting "I see white people"

Wait, "I see white people" no longer exists? Get ****ed. I've referenced that several times over the years since I've seen it.

It's apparently another obscure movie that has that line in it, not the Scary Movie franchise. But yeah, I always remember it as part of Scary Movie.
