Mandela effect

Have you heard of the Mandela effect? If a large group of people seem to wrongly remember something in the same way, it just has to be because they're from a parallel universe. That's the only explanation.

Here are some examples of Mandela effects!

Pikachu

The creature from the Pokémon franchise is subjects to quite a number of opinions. But what does it look like? Some remember a side-facing face at the end of its tail, while others remember there being nothing at all.What do you remember?

Volkswagen

Famous brand Volkswagen has its logo on a lot of cars. But are we sure of its appearance? Owners of this type of automobile will surely remember its blue attire. However, a lot of people remember it being pink with a pretty bow and a cute and coquette look. Where could this be coming from?

Winx Club

The adventures of these fashion fairies were enjoyed by every girl of the 2000s. But how many are there? You might not remember Seong Mi-na, seventh member of the "club" that a lot of fans seem to remember.

This character actually comes from Soulcalibur, and has absolutely no connection with our favorite fairies. The confusion behind this comes from the fact that anyone who has this wrong memory is fucking stupid.

Darth Vader's famous line

“	No... I am your father.	”
	— Darth Vader, that one time

Forrest Gump's famous line

The heartwarming adventures of Tom Hanks have been beloved for decades. But did you know that many film buffs have misremembered his movie's most famous quote?

My mama always said that life was like a box of chocolates...

...you never know what you're gonna get!

Erm... heh heh... actually, if you l- look at the back of th—

YES I KNOW THERE'S A LIST OF CHOCOLATES ON THE BACK OF THE BOX

YOU THINK THERE ISN'T A LIST OF THINGS EVERYBODY IS EXPECTED TO DO IN REAL LIFE!?

GROWING UP! MAKING FRIENDS! PAYING TAXES! GETTING A JOB! A PARTNER!

YOU COULD PUT THOSE THINGS ON THE BACK OF THE BOX FOR LIFE!

THESE ARE UNIVERSAL EXPERIENCES, BUT HOW ACTUALLY DOING THESE THINGS, OR NOT DOING THEM, IS PERCEIVED AND SUBSEQUENTLY PROCESSED VARIES FROM PERSON TO PERSON.

MUCH LIKE HOW EVERYONE COULD BUY THE SAME EXACT BOX OF CHOCOLATE, KNOWING THE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE FLAVORS INSIDE, BUT HAVE DIFFERENT PREFERENCES ON WHICH SWEET WAS THEIR FAVORITE ONCE THEY TASTE EACH ONE.

Shockingly, most viewers don't remember him mentioning "paying taxes" as a universal experience! Even the classics aren't immune to Nelson Mandela!

The Moon

This celestial body is beloved in every culture across the globe, and its striking patterns have inspired many myths and legends. However, some remember these patterns being the other way around. When the moon has existed for this long, how could this be?
