Mandela Effect/False Memories

[Purrrrrrr]

This is the thing!
A bit part isn't even that I remember them being the opposite colour. It's that I remember there being a big thing about them switching colours at the time!

I really believe its when Walkers went nationwide that the mixup began. This was a huge thing even before the mandella effect become a thing
Before, you could only get Walkers in certain places, people who already knew the Walker brand knew the colours but once they went nationwide people got really confused that cheese and onion were in blue bags and salt and vinegar were in the green bag.
If my sister had not moved to the back of beyond where they sold wakers I too would probably remember it differently. but for me, it's a specific memory as I craved walkers cheese and onion during my pregnancy and we had to drive miles to get them. and that was before the nice fast roads were built. As I said before the first pack I bought of Walkers I had to throw as it was salt and vinegar in a green pack. I was like WTF




mirror mirror always gets me. people say you must remember from the book as the books say mirror mirror but the film doesn't. But I didn't even know there were Disney books. I asked my granddaughter when she was about 3 0r 4 ( she is now 10) "what does the queen say when she looks into the mirror" she said mirror mirror my granddaughter had only seen the film.




I have my own personal one. I remember exactly where I was when the Falklands war broke out I was in a woman's refuge because my 2nd husband was a violent nutter and I remember it clearly because a friend I had made in there phoned her son up in the middle of the night crying that we were now at war. I remember when Simon Weston came home and the news was full of it and we were sitting at the table in the refuge kitchen watching the only TV in the house.


The other day they were talking about it and how it started in 1982 my mind was blown. I was still with my 1st husband then not even met my 2nd one..



The difference between those memories is that the Walkers one is a very very clear memory. absolutely no doubts, but the other two have hazy parts, like, oh could it have been, or maybe it was .......

It's funny because I live where your sister used to live

I am probably a bit younger though to remember them only being sold in certain places though

When my sister moved there, the part she moved to it was a London overflow development. fields everywhere around them and some amazing old gipsy caravans the barrel painted type . I remember when I stayed with my sister having to get an operator from a phone box to connect me to my husband's home phone sometimes we had to try forever as outside lines were all busy So to me a Londoner it really was the back of beyond.



I don't live that far from there now. its nothing at all like it was.

It's certainly different as that's the area I live in now!
Not many fields left!

I think Walkers took over Golden Wonder crisps and possibly Smiths and then they became more widespread

Love stuff like this!! I experience very strong dejavu, throughout my life from a young age (I know it's not what we're talking about here, but to me it kind of ties in with the whole parallel universe type vibe!)
I also have very vivid dreams, to the point they feel real and I can vividly remember dreams often years later, which is also an interesting and intense feeling.

I definitely have some of these Mandela effects but I can't think of any right now!

Oh also, I was in Mexico in December 2012!!

My ones are the Monopoly man having a monocle, apparently he's never had one! And Febreeze is actually spelt Febreze

I have a very weird one.

I visit the next town over a lot, and always take the same shortcut to get to a business that I frequent (turn right into a street off the highway, turn left at the end, take the first street on the right, then take the next street on the left).

Today, I took the same shortcut I normally do, only to end up down a private driveway of houses! It was a HUGE, 'What?!!!' moment. I exited, turned around and headed back along the first street ... only to have to travel an extra 500 or so metres before I saw the street I normally turn down.

I honestly do not remember this other street that I mistakenly turned into, even existing! I have never, ever seen it ... and I've been taking this route for 25+ years!

Are they new builds? They keep popping up everywhere. It can be disorientating sometimes.

If you have Google Earth and know the postcode or road name, you can Google the location and also Google past images and work out exactly when they were built.

Or…it could be one of those weird time slips!

Sorry to be slightly off topic but I call it Worcestershire sauce

No, and I don't remember ever seeing this street - the one I turn into is the only one off that road (well, it was two weeks ago when I last went there).

So do I!

Hmmm, conveniently that block of the town doesn't show up on Street View ... it shows on aerial view but only as a bird's eye view (I can't zoom in). How odd! It must have been a time slip. There are houses all along that road but to get to them, I'm sure the roads feed in from the bottom, as opposed to along the top / off the second street I turn into, because I have never, ever seen a street there. I called a friend when I got home and asked her how many streets go off that second one; she answered "One" very matter-of-factly. When I told her my story she seemed unconvinced and said maybe there is another one, but it's obscured in some way, so not easily recognisable ... she was also very puzzled by it all.

Slightly O/T, I have a friend who often experiences time slippages! Her accounts are so wild. I believe her, but most people don't.

Kit Kat - Kit-Kat
It used to have a dash
The strangest ones are the song one.
mamas and papas California Dreaming Imis a popular one
The Berenstain Bears we’re The Berenstein Bears

My brother is a HUGE believer he’s got a book with over 200 effects in it, some of them are pretty scary!

And the Film is worth a watch too…
