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?

The Mandela effect is when a large group of people remember something clearly, when the actual history is completely different, and contradictory to the memory. Some examples are Nelson Mandela dying in prison , and later becoming president of an African country (Can’t remember which) which is the most common example and the namesake of the event. Or the Berenstain bears being remembered asthe Berenstien bears (I’m actually one of those people). There are multiple explanations, but the most popular one is that memory is not perfect and people have imperfect memories that can be explained away. Nelson Mandela dying in prison can be explained by the fact that another Anti-Aparhtied activist died in prison while Nelson Mandela was in prison. The berenstain bears is a lot simpler, most of the people who insist it was Berenstien were children when they were first exposed, and they may have had bad reading skills, or simply didn’t pay much attention to the name, and Berenstien seems more logical, last names ending in “stien”, are much more common than those ending in “stain” after all.
