and the list goes on...
None of these are real. I'm a big fan of alternate universes but this whole fad is ridiculous. Most of it is just spelling differences that conflict with someone's memory. Those could probably be explained by spelling preferences. Lots of people probably would have spelled Skechers with a T if given the chance. They don't even think about it until after someone presents it as a Mandela Effect. I could probably easily make you believe that something used to be spelled a different way. The only interesting cases are historical events such as Mandela and Billy Graham's "deaths." And those could probably be explained by things like incorrect news reports. There's a thorough article I found going over the Mandela "death" that shows no one in South Africa has this recollection. It's just people from the US. Yeah, because if Mandela died in the 80's, people in South Africa would've probably forgot about it but some guy in Kentucky wouldn't.
So thousands of people with the same memories are all incorrect... what about the current map that shows South America many miles east now and Australia so close to New Guinea? Or what about the sudden human skull photos to where we have holes in our cheekbones and jaw? Also, I know that I had the Fruit of the Loom cornucopia logo in my clothes for years, that isn't a bad memory.
