If you didn\u2019t know, when a bunch of people are genuinely convinced that something that never happened, well, happened, it is called the Mandela effect<\/a>. The phenomenon got its name after it was discovered that many people falsely believed that Nelson Mandela was dead several years before he actually died in 2013.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Other examples of false memories that huge groups of people genuinely believe to be real can be found in the form of popular brand logos and names<\/a>. For example, did you know that footwear company Skechers has actually never been called \u201cSketchers\u201d? Or that there\u2019s not a cornucopia in the Fruit of the Loom logo?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n And it goes without saying that there are also tons of examples of Mandela effects in pop culture: Pikachu\u2019s tail has never had a black tip, Shaggy never had a protruding Adam\u2019s apple in Scooby Doo<\/i>, and Hannibal Lecter never says the words: \u201cHello, Clarice\u201d in The Silence of the Lambs<\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Heck, many people quote that famous Star Wars<\/i> line as \u201cLuke, I am your father,\u201d when the correct quote is simply: \u201cNo, I am your father.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n And another example of a pop culture Mandela effect is Britney Spears\u2019<\/a> \u201cToxic<\/a>\u201d music video, which was released in 2004. If you visualize it in your mind, you probably have a vivid memory of Britney wearing an obvious sheer bodysuit that has been covered in diamonds in the video.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
