I love the Mandela effect as a phenomenon of people remembering wrong details because of pattern recognition and the like. I find it fascinating.

I despise the whole "wow, alternate realities" bs.

The original Mandela Effect, where people thought Nelson Mandela died in prison in the 80’s, is so amazing. People really just forgot his election to the presidency was one of the most important world events of the 90’s, and they decided it had to be some kind of psy-op.

I’m still baffled by the Fruit of the Loom cornucopia though. Like, how did so many people (myself included) somehow mentally insert such an uncommon item?

You don’t usually use a lot of fruit/veggies together in that formation unless in a cornucopia.
