- This is sad. Oh my God.
I feel so stupid right now.
- There's no way your brain can make up lyrics.
That's weird.
♪ (upbeat intro) ♪
- (FBE) So, as a popular subject on the internet,
today you'll be reacting to the Mandela Effect.
- Mandela-- I know a little bit about it.
I actually-- never mind.
I don't know anything about it.
- I'm so excited. I love these so much.
They're so cool.
- (FBE) The Mandela Effect is when a large number of people
share the same wrong detail about a fact
or past event of this reality and some believe
it's a sign of there being multiple realities
bleeding over into one another.
- That's crazy. There's so many things
that you think you know and you don't even realize that--
it's 'cause there's things that are so small
that when you see it, you're like, whoa wait.
- I don't really believe in the Mandela Effect,
but you could prove me wrong. I don't know.
- (FBE) So, we'll be showing you ten different examples.
- Nice.
- "The famous hot dog brand is spelled 'Mayer'
instead of 'Meyer.'" Oscar--
wait, hold on. Now this is confusing my brain
just reading it.
- It's Mayer? I just bought these hot dogs
not even a couple days ago. What?
That's trippy.
- I don't think I ever actually read it.
I just see the logo and I'm like, "Oscar Mayer."
- This one is funny 'cause I would never
suspect Oscar Mayer was spelled with an 'A'.
- Oh dude, this isn't how you spell it?
- "How many red circles in the Target logo?"
Ooh, isn't it only two?
- I go to target all the time, so how many circles are there?
I feel like there's three? There's three circles.
You got the outer one, the inner one,
and the middle.
- I think it's the last one. What, what?
This is sad. Oh my God.
I feel so stupid right now.
- This is bad. I'm gonna say the middle one.
No. Wow, my life is a lie.
- Yeah, I got sort of confused, 'cause there's rings,
but then there's also circles.
- The first one with just-- no wait, no, no, no.
Oh, it was right, right? Okay, cool.
Dude, two for two. That's crazy.
- "The popular series of children's books is the Berenstain Bears,
not the Berenstein Bears."
- No, no, no. What?
I think they're changing these. It's the Berenstein Bears.
- This is more frustrating than it is confusing,
'cause I wanna say it's "stein" but it's
more like "stain."
- Wow. I've seen this one
on the internet, but it seems like it
would make more sense to have the 'E'.
- I saw it "stein" over "stain," but I think that's what
a lot of people thought.
- "People claim that the Mona Lisa used to smile but no longer does."
I think I've heard of this one.
- I mean I guess the one on the left looks like she's--
I'm confused.
- I never knew if she was smiling or not.
I thought the big thing about the Mona Lisa
is she's smiling or is she serious.
- Yeah, I don't know. I never felt like she was smiling
though, it was just kinda like a...
- I think it's the definition of a restoration.
- No, it's not. It's definitely not changed.
It's just the restoration of the color
that makes it brighter.
- "There's no such thing as Jiffy Peanut Butter."
What? What the fudge?
I feel like everyone always says "Jiffy."
- What? Is it Jif instead of Jiffy?
Mm hm.
- Yeah, I never thought of it as Jiffy.
I think people just mixed it up with Jif and Skippy.
- Yeah, I've never heard it called Jiffy.
I just heard Jif. It's pronounced "gif"
by the way, not arguing about that.
- That almost got me, but I remember it's Jif.
- Yeah, it's Jif. I've never seen Jiffy before ever.
- "The spelling is FROOT on Fruit Roll Ups."
Wait, "Froot Loops cereal." Really?
No, I've seen this.
- I do know this, 'cause I've had many boxes
of Froot Loops.
- Some kid's probably gonna be spelling "fruit" wrong
for his whole first and second grade.
- It makes more fun with the froot and loop,
so I see why they did that, but I don't think I've ever
payed attention to that before.
- It's spelled with the two O's as the cereal's name.
It's always been like that, right?
It's not Fruit Loops, it's just Froot Loops I guess.
- "Monopoly Guy, or Rich Uncle Pennybags
does not have a monocle." Wait, no, he does.
Stop. No wait, he does!
- No way. That feels right.
The monocle feels right.
- I never really pictured him with a monocle.
- Does it change or is it the same on all the boxes?
I could have sworn he had one.
- I most certainly thought he did.
I'm shooketh right now.
- "The show title is Sex and the City,
not Sex in the City." It's not Sex in the City?
That one kind of boggles my mind, 'cause I feel like,
even watching the intro or whatever I feel like my brain
has made it say "in."
- "The show title is Sex and the City,
not In the City." I knew that.
- I don't understand how people get confused.
It's literally in the title. I don't understand.
- I don't feel too bad about this, 'cause I've never
seen the correct-- I've just heard people
talk about it, so maybe people say it wrong.
- I guess the "in" and the "and," we don't enunciate our words
enough, so it could easily get lost in translation.
- Makes more sense, because Sex and the City,
because there's a lot of sex that goes on in the city
and it would be really difficult to document all that.
- "In Silence of the Lambs, Hannibal Lector never says
'Hello Clarice.'" Wait, no.
He says hello.
- He does? I feel like I watched that movie
not that long ago and that's always the reference
is "hello."
- Oh my God, that's a major line in the movie.
He doesn't say "well," does he?
- That's interesting. It reminds me a lot
of the Star Wars one.
- People get mixed up with that all the time,
especially with the whole Star Wars thing,
with "Luke I am the father." He doesn't say that,
so I can see how that language kinda gets confused.
- Hm, that's something to ponder about, wow.
- "The song We Are the Champions by Queen"
I love this song. "Does not end with
the lyrics 'of the world.'" What does it end with?
- I've listened to the song many times,
so I kind of know this already.
- What? No wait, okay.
It doesn't?
- What? Okay, that one's kind of a trip.
I always thought it was "of the world."
- So, it's just saying it's not at the very end.
Why do they end like that, then?
They just keep saying "we are-- okay.
That's kind of confusing, but okay.
- There's no way your brain can make up lyrics.
That's weird.
- (FBE) Overall, what did you think about all of these?
- I feel like I need to pay more attention.
When I go in the store now, I'm actually gonna be looking
to see if Jif and Oscar Mayer. I'm still a little shakey
about the hot dog.
- I love learning facts that should have been known
in the first place, but I think they're super cool
and I would love to keep learning more.
