50 Mandela Effect Examples That Are Seriously Mind-Bending
https://www.rd.com/culture/mandela-effect/page/2/
I imagine its just the brain muddling up the awarenes of there being 50 states on the one hand and the separate awareness of there being 2 separate/additional/last states - Alaska and Hawaii. The two numbers relating to the number of states - 50 and 2 - have left an impression on the brain of the number 52.One that struck me, though, was being taught America had 52 states. I have no recollection of explicitly being told this, but I do recall - a few years ago - being stunned to learn that there were only 50.

Could it have been a retro styled cover version so you'd thought it was an older version thinking back on it?I've just been Mariah Carey mandela-ed. For years, I've lamented that we never hear the original, classic "All I Want For Christmas is You" since that warbling witch did her version. This time, having just heard Merry Mariah on the radio for the thousandth time this fortnight, I thought I'd google that original song and see whether it's on the tubes. THERE WAS NEVER AN ORIGINAL, CLASSIC!!!! Mariah Carey's is the "original, classic". Somehow I feel even more sorry for that old song now I know that it never existed. Especially as I so well remember the haunting opening sang plainly without Mariah's nonsense. It was beautiful!
Not as far as I can tell. I'm not the only one suffering this mandelaism looking at the Internet. If I were, I suppose it wouldn't be a mandela, it would just be me making a mistake. I think the song itself is a retro style (apart from the warbling, which I've just discovered is called 'melismatic').Could it have been a retro styled cover version so you'd thought it was an older version thinking back on it?
Unless it's the power house Queen Aretha Franklin, all the other warblers can sit back down. I blame Whitney.Not as far as I can tell.

Lyrics by Mariah Carey and another person. Giving her a good Christmas Bonus for the rest of her life. Even better than Clark Griswold's Xmas bonus.Could it have been a retro styled cover version so you'd thought it was an older version thinking back on it?
edit: I can't find one, just this .. you may have a good point sir ..
Owch! Most disturbing thing I've seen in a while.edit: I can't find one, just this .. you may have a good point sir ..
Truly, most supposed MEs leave me fairly unimpressed. I already know my awareness for movie lines, product name spellings, dates and the health or lack thereof of celebrities is poor. But this is a memory I still have, even though I now know it never happened, of the opening and vaguely the rest of an original version of this song which is distinct from the only actual version. My flabber is gasted.I have learned from personal experience that ME can be laughed at and "easily explained" until it happens to you... and then it just leaves you flabbergasted. It is something really personal and I cannot explain it. Just leaves you questioning everything else.
I just hope it is false memory or lack of education...

It's just that the one I "remember" is nowhere to be found.
... Someone swears blind that the famous cartoon series Looney Tunes use to be called "Looney Toons" .
The glitch in the matrix that sneakily changed the spelling seems to be rendering him quite loony!
This popped up in Quora today.

It's not unusual for newscasters to casually encompass the most populous American lands as (e.g.) "The fifty states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico", for a total of 52 enumerated jurisdictions. D.C. is a federal district rather than a state per se, and Puerto Rico is the largest and best known American territory.

There was a popular 90s TV cartoon based on Looney Tunes called Tiny Toon Adventures, maybe there's been a mix-up with that?
At first I thought you were talking about Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
My colleague on the desk next to me just mentioned the old Hovis advert "with the Yorkshire voiceover" .
He didn't believe me when I told him it was a West Country (Cornish I believe) accent and he had to go and look it up.
I told him this was one of the staples of the Mandela Effect. He hadn't heard of that either, but is now Googling it. I suspect he will be registering on this forum shortly!
Whaaaaaaa????? I've just looked it up too and it is indeed west country, but not only do i remember it as a northern accent, i remember it being a very particular voice. The actor Joe Gladwin who played Wally, Nora Batty's husband in Last of the Summer Wine was in my timeline (as the mandelistas like to say) always the voice of the hovis ads. Or someone doing a damn good impression of him.My colleague on the desk next to me just mentioned the old Hovis advert "with the Yorkshire voiceover" .
