What's going on with the Mandela Effect? Is the name itself an effect? Mandala Effect?
Is it mass formation? Subliminal programming? Mass "misremembering"? Glitches in reality? Parallel realities blending? Time and space manipulation?
It seems the longer the discussion goes on the more comes up (as a greater diversity of people learn about the effect). I remember a few years ago when first reading about it there were really only maybe 5-10 really solid ones. Now there are dozens talked about by tons of people.
What's going on here?
My problem with the Mandela Effect is that I never believed or heard that Mandela died, so the name of the "Effect" on it's own seemed pretty specious to me. Also that it's a mix of changed events, minor spelling changes, logos changing, and lines in TV and movies.
Hey, I don't disagree. There's some weird stuff in there.
I still try to find plausible explanations for them though. Fruit of the Loom cornucopia was a strange one.
For April fools, they replaced their logo with the cornucopia version without any publicity or fanfare.
