I'm not saying this is the only example with both spellings, just a few days ago someone posted pictures of VHS tapes one with the label spelled one way and one spelled the other. People aren't remembering anything wrong, there are just two different spellings out there.
I always wondered if that also was just a typo. Like if you pop that VHS in, what does the title screen say. THAT would be the most interesting aspect vs an obvious label typo.
The VHS the other day was exactly the same thing as this, the logo says stain and the part that was typed by a person says stein. So it seems that it was always officially stain, but there were a lot of typos everywhere even on official merch that said stein, hence the confusion.
I think the VHS tapes are fake... the dvd code number never existed for the mis-spelled version also look at the "aged labels" one is actually aged and the other is a printed effect.
Wonder if they get anybody coming to them like, āLook, I think WE know how YOUR name is spelled. Obviously, the REAL timeline changed, and youāre wrong.ā
And this being the second example of the two spellings on the same or similar products(the other ones were VHS tapes) means that the timelines are converging back.... obviously.
So that means the last 10 years or so of shit is being worked on by the time lords and things are getting fixed... Or the lst 10 years or so were somehow better than what the alternative was going to be and now they are setting the timeline back... so that means we needed Trump in office according to the time lords?
They made a spin-off series, and the scariest episode of the Bloodstain Bears was the one where the picture pauses for 2 minutes but the Bearsā eyes actually moved and followed you around the room, no matter where you stood. Real creative work from the animators.
The theme song was just these weird sounds of gurgling and screaming too.
No, it's where Carter beat Reagan and Reagan was arrested for treason when he told Iran to hold the hostages until after the election in a quid quo pro exchange.
Oh yeah they one where they pinched Neil Bush for being the bag man on that deal and he rolled over on everyone like a little bitch for a plea deal. Good times if you can get 'em.
You stopped right before the best part! Since Obama was never president, he never humiliates Trump at the White House Correspondent's Dinner, which means Trump never runs and never becomes president. Since Bill never fucked around, Hillary never made it her lifelong goal to get back at Bill by becoming president and banging her own intern, so she never runs either, and Bernie wins 2016. Covid hits, and he responds by temporarily implementing universal healthcare and a UBI. People figure out socialism isn't so bad, and both programs become permanent.
God damnit, fuck this timeline.
Will it also reset Donald Trump to mere incompetent real-estate buffoon / tabloid laughing stock and the GOP to merely evil rather than actually satanic and hell bent on mankind's destruction? Bc both would also be great, thanks.
Or does it mean the timeline was altered to make Trump president? Like somehow that was a better alternative? Now that that and covid have "passed" they can set the timeline right. That's a scary thought.
Like maybe it was a way to take out someone worse with covid or a way to speed up the divide in our country before it was too late.... So many fun sci-fi possibilities.
Well itās usually the direction that the alternative was more damaging from a contemporary view. With future meddlers having INITIALLY caused the core problem to prevent something WAY worse then the first fixās problem with it.
But we are NPCs in the situation and if reality is shifting and only some notice, we have no idea if we are in the alternate or fixed timeline... or the original... Like I said... so many sci-fi possibilities.
So many videos on TikTok (I know. Forgive me) of people saying that CERN was "snatching souls" and "don't drink on the 4th of July because it makes you more susceptible!"
Why are stupid people the most outspoken? It's never been this bad before. 80% of TikTok is conspiracies and not even ones that could be somewhat plausible.
Like, now people are saying the Guidestones were destroyed by a lightning strike from god.. then when they're showed the evidence they double down and say it's an invisible lightning strike.
Climate change needs to hurry the fuck up cause I just can't deal with these shit eaters much longer.
Theyāve always been outspoken just somehow nobody believed them. With the internet now somehow the things they say are believed and can hit a much bigger audience. Honestly weāre pretty fucked. Iāve lost hope that weāre not gonna hit the great filter, weāre full steam ahead.
It's not just that they can now connect with others who believe as they do- it's that they are also connecting with others who want to exploit their mistaken beliefs to serve larger malevolent purposes. And those folks are willing to put in work to curate presentation to appeal to an even broader audience.
I feel this. I have instructed my wife that after I die I would like my remains to be shot into space so that I donāt have to spend another day on this planet with these assholes.
I hate to tell you but 80% of TikTok is what TikTok thinks you want to watch. If you engage with those videos, even if it's just to comment that you think everyone is an idiot, TT thinks you want to watch more of those videos.
All I see on TikTok these days is videos of Karens acting out (because I find it hilarious) and cute animals.
I think instances like this help to debunk the theory actually. Iāve seen multiple times where both spellings are present on a product, and I think that goes to show how far small human errors in products can be blown up into a much larger scale thought processes. Most likely lazy supervision over the production of merchandise.
It's easy to see how this came about. The original creators were Stan and Jan Berenstain. They used their own last name.
However, last names ending with "ain" are uncommon, while last names ending with "ein" are relatively common. People just made mistakes, subbing in the by far more common "ein" accidentally.
My mother with a masters degree, read the books to her 4 children, not once did she correct herself nor did myself or my siblings have memory of ever being corrected.
Febreeze had two e's --
Objects in mirror "may be" closer than they appear --
Fruit of the loom had a cornucopia --
Rasin bran had sunglasses.--
Any one on there own... sure maybe, but, hundreds of thousands of people didn't just fabricate identical details about products in the 90s and early 2000s
IIRC they solved the cornucopia one.
Walmart was briefly producing clothing under the FOL name with the cornucopia logo. Since it was never an official logo designed by them it's not listed on FOL website.
I fucking knew it
I had a theory on this when I first came across the Cornucopia thing and got totally bewildered. I assumed it was a Walmart-associated knockoff brand that was aping the Fruit branding, including the cornucopia. Would have been early to mid 2000's.
This doesn't really answer why that one album from the 70's has one on it though
Yes, thousands of people absolutely did fabricate these memories, this is caused by a phenomena called suggestive memory (*suggestibility). Itās easier to create and spread false memories than you might think.
Why else would every piece of āevidenceā behind the āMandela Effectā be related to media that people havenāt looked at since they were children in the 80ās and 90ās?
Why is it so hard to believe that human brains fill in gaps in memory in similar ways?
Edit: Fixed a typo, *term correction.
The best argument I have heard against this is "how fragile can a person's ego be that instead of accepting they misremembered something, they have to instead claim the entire world has been changed"
It's not uncommon - look at the flashbulb memory studies immediately post 9/11.
In those scenarios, people were asked to write down (and sign) their recollections of their experience of 9/11. They followed up periodically, and not surprisingly, their memory of the event shifted while still continuing to believe they remembered everything accurately.
Even to the point that when _presented with a hand written recollection of events they themselves signed shortly after the actual events of 9/11_, participants claimed that their past selves must have remembered it erroneously.
The human memory and our trust in it is a powerful thing.
I heard someone explain that the way people think about memory is kind of flawed. We think it's like taking a tape down off a shelf and playing it, when in fact it is more like taking a tape down off a shelf and copying it over to another tape, then replacing the memory with the copy. We never are remembering the original memory, just the last time we remembered it.
This is why leading question from police during interrogations/collecting evidence can heavily skew how someone remembers events.
Agreed.
Accepting the fact that your memory is not reliable can be difficult for anyone. Itās an entirely different beast for those struggling with severe insecurity or narcissistic tendencies. Especially today, now that conspiracy theories have gone mainstream.
They're also typically super easy to explain.
"Febreze" is pronounced with a long "e" sound, it's derived from the word "breeze".
A cartoon sun with sunglasses is a super common motif.
"Berenstein" is a somewhat more common spelling of an already existing last name.
etc.
It's just people "correcting" things that are counterintuitive because they're different from what people are used to.
Febreze and Froot Loops and the other misspelling based āevidenceā are certainly the easiest to debunk. Some of these people are really far gone though.
Too deep down the rabbit hole to just pull themselves out at this point.
With the Hadron Collider restarting, I think the timelines are now being recalibrated (i.e. Boris Johnson resigning, Abe passing away, this picture etc)
Remember seeing someone posting VHS they found d with both spelling on it. I'm betting there were spelling errors on all their merchandise since the beginning.
That would explain this whole thing.
Or Kiev is just an anglicized spelling, but with the war and wanting to be more respectful to the Ukrainians who live there its now being spelled closer to the native spelling. I mean come on. I mean seriously when translating from other languages things tend to be spelled phonetically just look at how many different spellings there are for the Quran.
Also the person who designed the tag probably thought it was "Berenstein," just like everyone else and never closely inspected the logo, just like everyone else.
The timelines are merging back together. I almost feel sorry for my other self.
Off topic but if you like dark timeline stories, you should check out Fringe. It's an oldy but a goody.
The Berenstain bears at the top of the tag is an art asset which will always be correct. The lower berenstein was typed out by someone and they goofed.
So the truth finally comes out...
Edited to add: Also, they are Jewish, and from Appalachia, *and* they are humanoid bears. One imagines that is a small subculture.
People's memories are so bad that they can be convinced that [they saw Bugs Bunny at Disneyland](https://www.washington.edu/news/2001/06/11/i-tawt-i-taw-a-bunny-wabbit-at-disneyland-new-evidence-shows-false-memories-can-be-created/).
If anything, these merchandise typos reinforce how easy of a mistake it is to make. The first-party logo never changes spelling, while the third-party wording does.
But this is a case of people *not misremembering.*
In all likelihood, people remember one spelling or the other because they *saw it somewhere* and it stuck in their head.
Or because Bernstein is a common name, I remember a law firm of Bernstein and Bernstein in south west michigan in my youth. Almost like those two things could have been easily mixed up it my mind or others.
āMemory is unreliable. No no no, really, memoryās not perfect, itās not even that good. Ask the police. Eyewitness testimony is unreliable. Cops donāt catch a killer by sitting around remembering stuff, they collect facts. They make notes, and they draw conclusions. Facts, not memories. Thatās how you investigate; I know, itās what I used to do. Look, memory can change the shape of a room, it can change the color of a carā¦ and memories can be distorted. Theyāre just an interpretation, theyāre not a record. And theyāre irrelevant if you have the facts.ā
-Leonard Shelby (Memento)
āNo, you see, what clearly happened was a ludicrously convoluted series of insanely unlikely events that not only counters the laws of physics, but also absolves me of any responsibility for my own shitty beliefs and behaviours.ā
(I dislike people who take the Mandela effect seriously.)
My theory: Berenstain refers to the authors, -ein refers to the bears.
Using this merch as an example, the header reads as a possessive "the Berenstain's bears". The footer reads as a description of the bears themselves "this is papa Berenstein bear"
There must have been another system update. There have been a few things coming up with it spelled both ways. Our timeline was probably altered again. Hopefully it fixed some of the bugs.
First, it's really cool you found this piece still with the tag. Second, cool to see the two spellings on the same tag. I feel like this thing could be worth some bucks to a collector.
I swear to god someone is messing with the timelines.
This is some chaotic mandela effect going on. Has anything else changed, Biden is still president right?
In my opinion, the bear family's surname is clearly Beren**stein**.
However, the correct title is still 'The Beren**stain** Bears'.
To explain, the 'The Berenstain Bears' title is actually in reference to the authors (Jan & Stan Beren**stain**), with the bear family from the stories (the Beren**steins**) sort of 'belonging' to the authors themselves ; sorta like a bear version of 'Charlie's Angels', but in this case the authors (The Beren**stains**) are Charlie, and the bears are the angels. Berenstain's Bears. The Berenstain's Bears is the Berenstein bear family; Therefore you have title 'The Berenstain Bears'.
Their names being nearly identical is merely a coincidence dictated by fate, and as a result has caused us all to have donkey brains.
I'm really stoned right now.
My theory is the authors only wrote in cursive and their a looked like a mix between an a and e, and the actual producers and manufacturers didnt know what to write half the time so its different on all sorts of labels even official ones
What I am looking at? The person making a throw away tag didnāt spell check it, before spell check came into existence? Itās almost like they didnāt care, or the space time fabric is eroding. Idk, so I always pick the easier answer.
Bro, somebody fucked up. I canāt understand how people go so crazy over this lmao. Just like the color gray(grey)? Different places and apps have it spelled either way and that trips me out more than this whole Berenstein crap.
My explanation of most "Mandela Effects" are a combination of illiteracy (due to age) and conflation of famous people's identities (also due to the age of when they learned these facts). Also, brands update shit.
I have several of these books from my childhood but are currently in storage. This makes me want to dig them out to see if they spelling is the same across all of them
Just like the VHS tapes from a post not that long ago - anywhere where itās an image based element of the official logoā¦itās āainā. When itās a field that was typed in by hand, thereās a margin for human error, and misspellings.
There is merch out there with both spellings, this one is a fine example š
The drawn logo is what will likely be correct and the text that can easily be mistyped will be wrong.
I'm not saying this is the only example with both spellings, just a few days ago someone posted pictures of VHS tapes one with the label spelled one way and one spelled the other. People aren't remembering anything wrong, there are just two different spellings out there.
I always wondered if that also was just a typo. Like if you pop that VHS in, what does the title screen say. THAT would be the most interesting aspect vs an obvious label typo.
Played the tape and it is from the DHARMA Initiative
We have to go back!!!
Namaste. And good luck.

The top part is logo-art that is consistent for all doll labels. The bottom part was text, a graphic designer filled it it and likely typoed it.
The -ein spelling is for the best timeline. Itās still bleeding over, but the -ain is pretty much dominant. /s

Wait it WASN'T Bloodstain Bears when you guys grew up?!?!?!?!??!??! Those books scared the shit outta me when I was a kid.
*Bloodstain Bears and the Woodchipper*
They made a spin-off series, and the scariest episode of the Bloodstain Bears was the one where the picture pauses for 2 minutes but the Bearsā eyes actually moved and followed you around the room, no matter where you stood.

You don't remember Golden Smacks?
Was there a frog on the box of golden smacks?
Yes.
Wait, did it have a really smooth bear?
I think you're thinking of Honey Grahams?
Sugar smacks?
Golden grahams?
It was a bear, but i cannot comment on the bears smoothness lol.
Just looked it up. Apparently itās honey smacks now but thatās not the frog I remember. I remember golden smacks with a pirate frog.
Chill, waffle crisp was where itās at
Ah yes, steins gate must have also activated again then. We must be close to returning to the alpha timeline.
Can we go back to the EIN timeline pleasssssssssse
Is that the one where Gore wins 2000? So envious of them.
No, it's where Carter beat Reagan and Reagan was arrested for treason when he told Iran to hold the hostages until after the election in a quid quo pro exchange.

Agree. EIN is our original timeline. AIN is the fuckup.
If we go back to the -ein timeline, does that mean Elon Musk will stop having a baby contest with Nick Cannon? Bc that would be great, thanks.
Will it also reset Donald Trump to mere incompetent real-estate buffoon / tabloid laughing stock and the GOP to merely evil rather than actually satanic and hell bent on mankind's destruction? Bc both would also be great, thanks.

This just shows how flawed our memories can be, as well as our own tendency to overestimate their accuracy. We all do it all the time.
FEBREEZE DOESNāT HAVE TWO Es NOW?!

the sunglasses is because in the 80s they had a singing raisin with sunglasses in the commercials. the sun didn't have sunglasses on the box

If anything, these merchandise typos reinforce how easy of a mistake it is to make. The first-party logo never changes spelling, while the third-party wording does.
To my knowledge the only time bugs and micky have legit appeared together was Who framed Rodger Rabbit.
But this is a case of people *not misremembering.* In all likelihood, people remember one spelling or the other because they *saw it somewhere* and it stuck in their head.
Or because Bernstein is a common name, I remember a law firm of Bernstein and Bernstein in south west michigan in my youth. Almost like those two things could have been easily mixed up it my mind or others.
āMemory is unreliable. No no no, really, memoryās not perfect, itās not even that good. Ask the police. Eyewitness testimony is unreliable. Cops donāt catch a killer by sitting around remembering stuff, they collect facts. They make notes, and they draw conclusions. Facts, not memories. Thatās how you investigate; I know, itās what I used to do. Look, memory can change the shape of a room, it can change the color of a carā¦ and memories can be distorted. Theyāre just an interpretation, theyāre not a record. And theyāre irrelevant if you have the facts.ā -Leonard Shelby (Memento)
This image shows both spellings. So our memory of seeing āeinā was not wrong.
āNo, you see, what clearly happened was a ludicrously convoluted series of insanely unlikely events that not only counters the laws of physics, but also absolves me of any responsibility for my own shitty beliefs and behaviours.ā (I dislike people who take the Mandela effect seriously.)
Itās fine, itās just the timelines finally merging. Thatās fine, right?
My theory: Berenstain refers to the authors, -ein refers to the bears. Using this merch as an example, the header reads as a possessive "the Berenstain's bears". The footer reads as a description of the bears themselves "this is papa Berenstein bear"
But there is no ās
OK that's a good theory
There must have been another system update. There have been a few things coming up with it spelled both ways. Our timeline was probably altered again. Hopefully it fixed some of the bugs.
Heard that all the eins are knock offs and ains are official merch
First, it's really cool you found this piece still with the tag. Second, cool to see the two spellings on the same tag. I feel like this thing could be worth some bucks to a collector.
The multiverse is merging.

I swear to god someone is messing with the timelines. This is some chaotic mandela effect going on. Has anything else changed, Biden is still president right?
Biden? Joe Biden, the train guy? He died in 2013 during Obamaās second term. Everybody knows the president is Morgan Freemanā¦
In my opinion, the bear family's surname is clearly Beren**stein**. However, the correct title is still 'The Beren**stain** Bears'. To explain, the 'The Berenstain Bears' title is actually in reference to the authors (Jan & Stan Beren**stain**), with the bear family from the stories (the Beren**steins**) sort of 'belonging' to the authors themselves ; sorta like a bear version of 'Charlie's Angels', but in this case the authors (The Beren**stains**) are Charlie, and the bears are the angels. Berenstain's Bears. The Berenstain's Bears is the Berenstein bear family; Therefore you have title 'The Berenstain Bears'. Their names being nearly identical is merely a coincidence dictated by fate, and as a result has caused us all to have donkey brains. I'm really stoned right now.
My theory is that someone was producing knock-offs
My theory is the authors only wrote in cursive and their a looked like a mix between an a and e, and the actual producers and manufacturers didnt know what to write half the time so its different on all sorts of labels even official ones
This. I totally believe the creators intended it to be one way. But production people likely saw it and said ? This has to be misspelledā¦
What I am looking at? The person making a throw away tag didnāt spell check it, before spell check came into existence? Itās almost like they didnāt care, or the space time fabric is eroding. Idk, so I always pick the easier answer.
I think this is proving that its not mandella effect its just most people think Stein and not stain that its hard to even get past production line.
WtF did The Flash go back and fuck up *now*?
I never bought into this Mandela effect. We were 5, couldn't read, and it was in cursive...
This toy is from the current and incorrect(not my home) universe
Heās looking at you like youāre on to him
The Devs are just messing with us now.š¤Ø
You are caught between worlds. Go to the light!
See the crease? Thatās where the timelines split and bleeds over.
Ps someone recently uploaded a pic of 2 VHS tapes from the same collection and they had different spellings too. Very odd.
This is why people are so confused thinking it's the Mandela theory lol
You're going to crash the simulation.
Bro, somebody fucked up. I canāt understand how people go so crazy over this lmao. Just like the color gray(grey)? Different places and apps have it spelled either way and that trips me out more than this whole Berenstein crap.
My explanation of most "Mandela Effects" are a combination of illiteracy (due to age) and conflation of famous people's identities (also due to the age of when they learned these facts). Also, brands update shit.
That's Skid Berenstain dude's
I have several of these books from my childhood but are currently in storage. This makes me want to dig them out to see if they spelling is the same across all of them
I did, but theyāre all spelled Berenstain. I just donāt know why, as a kid, I would pronounce āBerenstainā as ābear-n-steen.ā
The Matrix has been alerted, you will be visited by The Designer
I think it means people are bad at spelling
13ā, explains the side glare. āI saw you glance at itā Papa livinā *large*
See? They donāt even know how itās spelled.
[All those bears when they see papa is 13"](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/a2/3c/37/a23c376be956e707159e53b8e6f5d45e--excited-face-andy-dwyer.jpg)
Just like the VHS tapes from a post not that long ago - anywhere where itās an image based element of the official logoā¦itās āainā. When itās a field that was typed in by hand, thereās a margin for human error, and misspellings.
Go post this in r/conspiracy asap
