The Mandela Effect

Recently came across the Mandela effect and actually, I'm gobsmacked.

Here's a list of Mandela effect's I've come across.

I always thought the Mona Lisa had a straight, expressionless face but actually she has a smirk.

The famous line in Snow White isn't Mirror mirror on the wall but Magic mirror on the wall.

Febreeze has always been spelt as Febreze and Looney Toons as Looney Tunes.

Not too sure what this is to be honest.

Anyone, remember different or same as me?
Would love to know your thoughts to this. This is pretty interesting to me.

The term 'Mandela effect' was founded by a lady who recalled Mandela's death in the 1980s. Her along with 1000s of people recalled the same event. People remember news coverage on his death, tribute assembly and others remember being taught in school about his life and death. Those that remembered him dying in the 80s were shocked to discover his recent death in 2013.

If not for this, I'd probably dismiss these recollections and blame it on bad memory.

I acc thought he was dead too :eek: but i thought it was just me


This is from an acc book that was published oct 1991 called 'English Alive'. It's a textbook as well i think not even any book. So its not just people's memories we are relying on.

The reason it is called "Sex in the City" as opposed to "Sex and the City" is just the perfume company's way of getting around paying royalties to the show.
i.e. it has no affiliation with the HBO TV series

The evidence for mandela is a book, but the book was was actually fiction by a student trying to predict the future
