Sitting here, eating lil *Chick*-fil-A, and I know, know, KNOW it used to be **Chic**-fil-A. The company has claimed it never was. Of course I’m not the only one to recognize it, and it got me thinking…how in the hell does *that* work? What’s the reasoning behind it?

If you’ve ever heard people say that it’s impossible to have an original thought, that everything has been thought of before, etc. The Mandela Effect capitalizes on this fact, except for false/misremembered things. There is a huge list of things that fall into this category, mostly with movie lines, titles, or other pop culture references. If you misremember something in pop culture, its almost certain that other people have misremembered that same thing in the same way.
Part of what is happening here is that as time goes on, your memory gets worse. In spite of this, your *confidence* in your memory improves. This is why you can have siblings that hugely contradict an event that they were both present for years ago. This is also why eye witness testimony is among the least reliable evidence you can have, especially if the event was a long time ago.
