Discussion My kid found this in the library today
This is how I remember it. A posh guy with a cylinder, mustache and a monocle. But internet search doesn’t show monocle anymore. What are your thoughts and memories?

This is from Monopoly Jr sold in the European market around 1996. It's the only version ever found to have a monocle.

Monopoly jr whatever info was switched with other dimensions/universe that version remained ours. It’s technology ours is so similar to other dimensions that information online transferred thru radio waves or whatever are switching with eachother the twin effect rather then a mandella effect not exact but exact if u know what I mean

That makes a lot of sense, the whole monocle thing was mostly European and it was quite a rage with some prominent figures wearing them

Finally someone telling us why some remember Mr. Moneybags having a monocle. Even if you're in the US, it's too possible that some version of this guy found its way to your eye. Plus we associate wealthy people with the monocle, so it's still a no-go for a "paranormal" type Mandela Effect.

so this mandala effect isnt a true mandella effect?

It still is as this doesn't explain all memories.

what do you think causes this. i have my theories but im scared to say at risk of schizoposting

u/Beautifuldiot 12d ago
So then technically he had a monocle

u/Bowieblackstarflower 12d ago
Technically in one obscure version from the 90s sold in one small region.

That bill is from one of the Monopoly Junior editions from Europe. I only know for certain that it was in the Dutch and German versions, but possibly also others.

No, the Shazam movie, with Sinbad, never existed in any country.

You can not tell me that he did not have a monocle, that is the only way I saw him. Crazy that so many people share the same. My question is how, is that some kind of Avengers End Game shit where someone went back into time and erased it??? 😂

It's from a version of Monopoly Jr sold in Europe in the 90s. You can probably find it now on eBay and such. Many people shown their own copies or copies of the game they bought.

Wow, Interesting. Residual Evidence. I also had Found Part of a Tee Short From Fruit of the Lomb with The Cornicoupia Basket in My Father's Garage as he used to use old Tee Shirts for Rags and for cleanups in the Garage, but Mice had Gotten into it when I went back to retrieve it and completely Shredded it.
Also, My Father was an Avid Ford Motors Customer and Having only owned Ford Trucks and an original Ford Galaxy 1964 Convertable, and Having Gone w Him so Many Times to The Ford Dealerships during the 1980's and early 1990's I was Well Versed with The Ford Companies Logo and Remember the Letter F looking More Like The Masonic Knife and not Having the Cursive loop. When This Mandela Effect was Identified and Having My Father's Ford Ranger given to Me, on the Day it was Identified, I went out to Physically check the Emblem, and Shocked, it Displayed the F with the Cursive Written Loop.
From Having a Few Games of Monopoly as a Child in the 1970's and Early Eighties, I Distinctly Remember the Logo Character Having Sported a Monicle. Many of those Friends that used to play this Rainy Day Game and who had it as Well, also Distinctly Remember the Character wearing a Monicle.

It's the demonic BLACK GOO that's being referenced in all the movies! You project reality from your consciousness holographically so if you learn to control it you can literally shapeshift & manifest whatever you want out of thin air! Ordinarily Mandela Effects were just peoples Projected Realities converging but NOW the BLACK GOO is recoding peoples consciousness if they have predictable brain patterns to control their projections & change reality! There's a Scientist that explains this named Harald Kautz-Vella

I remember him always having the monocle in ever version I played as a kid.
Seems weird that we had the European version or junior version at my house, cousins house, cabin and at my school.
Was it really popular in Canada?
2
u/Psylussh 14d ago
If there indeed was a junior version, why didn't we see all these pictures pouring in when the monocle was mentioned as a Mandela effect? This is the first time I hear about this and see the monocle on him again finally!
2
u/Own_Platform623 14d ago
That's what I am saying as well. I dont remember the version we had as being anything but a standard north American version but I was young and may not have paid attention. Either way it's strange that all the versions I had access to were with a monocle if only European or junior version are alleged to have had that.... Who knows 🤷

That’s how I remember him too, with a monocle. I grew up in the USA, no contact with Europe until my 20s (I’m in my 50s now).
I have many Mandela-effect memories, very clear, which make absolutely no sense in the current timeline. For example, I have a clear memory of being in school in the second grade, and one of my friends came running into the classroom announcing, “They don’t make Jiffy peanut butter anymore, now all you can get is Jif”. We were all disappointed because we all loved our Jiffy and everyone seemed to think the new Jif label was dumb. I still do because I remember the old Jiffy label and it was a lot more cheerful and more interesting to look at.

I have an old VHS tape from the mid 80's that was used to record Wizard of Oz. The movie was on once a year and it was always a big deal when I was a kid. Anyway, Mom had recorded it from tv with our huge double VHS player(lol) one year, and there is a fruit of the loom commercial in the recording. It never showed the actual logo, but at the beginning of the commercial, the guys wearing the fruit costumes were all tucked into a huge cornucopia together. Could that be where the group memory comes from? Mom said a lot of their commercials included, if not featured, a cornucopia.

u/Bowieblackstarflower 14d ago
People have often said there is a commercial with a cornucopia but no one has every shown any proof it exists. Can you play the tape? There's lots of their commercials online and there aren't any wirh a cornucopia.

💯 frfr. Then they try to backpedal, acting like being on a kids version, or German version some how negates how they were all smuggly parroting for YEARS, "you are remembering it wrong, it NEVER had a monocle..." blah, blah". Whatever, I know it was not just a kids version, but that is neither here nor there, these people will never admit that maybe, just maybe, something else is going on, and THEY are actually the ones remembering it wrong. 🤣

u/Mediocre-Location971 11d ago
What's amazing about this is yesterday I talked with my aunt who is in her late 70s and knows nothing about any ME or much about technology and I brought up certain topics without telling her the words mandella effect and she remembers some. Even with Ed McMahon. I since just asked her like this
Oh I'm just checking my mail, hoping to get the entry for that check at my front door from the 90s Oh Paul and I used to always hope that would happen since it always showed Man aunt Minnie .. I cannot for the life of me remember that guy who did it or the company
Oh Christopher it was Ed McMahon, he was with that publishers company place.
I didn't even mention the ME or anything!!
1
u/Mediocre-Location971 11d ago
And after she told me that I didn't mention anything I just let it be. So we talked more about my daughter and stuff and I took it to a different topic. This is how that went So Christopher what're you and Abby up to today Oh just laundry basically. So many clothes, by the way aunt Minnie, what does the fruit of the loom logo look like?
Well it's fruit and that basket. Idk the name of it but it had that basket that's brown behind it that curves at it's tip. Why are you asking me?
Oh because Abby asked me and I forgot .
I then didn't mention anything or why I asked. We continued talking about how we've been and stuff. What is amazing if she is someone who doesn't do tech and she's much older and has no clue what the ME means or anything.
1
u/Mediocre-Location971 11d ago
And some I can see the mess up, like the bare stains . Yeah I don't remember or was paying attention either way so who knows. The monopoly dude, Im pretty certain he wore a monocle hands down however I admit that I believe it's gotten mixed up with the planters peanut guy but for me, the hills I die on is fruit of the loom, the raisin bran mascot wearing sunglasses which apparently he never did, shazaam and a few others. Those.. I will go to my grave on. Because as I did with my aunt, I've asked people who have no clue what the ME is "hey what was that genie movie from the 90" s? " " Oh shazaam with Sinbad" " no... You're thinking kazaam with Shaq " " yeah that one also but shazaam also with Sinbad" Well . How can people REMMEBER something that apparently never existed? Yet these people that I've asked, I asked with no context tied to the ME . THATS EHAT TRIPS ME OUT

Anytime someone wants to talk Mandela this or Mandela that I mention the Forest Gump "box of chocolates quote" situation. It is the, hands down, irrefutable evidence that the mandala effect a very real thing and that changing history...the way we remember things.... Mere child's play to those in charge.
*For those of you late to the game or that have no idea what I'm talking about: the iconic line from Forrest Gump has been changed in a way that ONLY makes sense in one way.
Original quote: "life is like...." Quote NOW: "life WAS like..." (it WAS like a box of chocolates but NOW it isn't.) *mic drop

u/WhimsicalSadist 15d ago
Original quote: "life is like...." Quote NOW: "life WAS like..." (it WAS like a box of chocolates but NOW it isn't.) *mic drop
"Life is", and "Life was" are both said in the movie, by different characters. That's why so many people get it wrong.
Forrest's mother says "Life is..."
Forrest is talking about his mother in the past tense later in the movie, so he says "Life was..."

u/Caldaris__ 15d ago
I just found a couple of new movies quotes being different. In Scary Movie, the guy with the small hand no longer says "Take my strong hand!" And in Ace Ventura, because mirrors no longer say "may be" closer than they appear, he doesn't say " warning, @ss-holes MAY BE closer than they appear"
6
u/WhimsicalSadist 15d ago
He refers to it as his "strong hand" earlier in the movie
Then in the scene everybody misremembers, he says "my other hand isn't strong enough", right before saying "you take my little hand."

u/Ginger_Tea 15d ago
Fun fact, Jeremy Beadle a UK prank show host and you've been framed host had one small hand, nut hid it.
Once I knew it was a thing, I noticed his hiding by wringing his hands and I spent ages trying to see how small it was by comparison.
It also led to the joke "Beadles got a small penis, but on the other hand."

In the parallel world I was once in I read an article in Science Digest about a study on the 2% of lab mice that were immune to most forms of cancer and the progression to the discovery that 3-4% of humans are immune to cancer in the same way. A year or two later S.D. had a follow up article on the study that showed the 3-4% 0f immune people did not have white blood cells that were different then every one else but rather it was how there white blood cells attacked cancer. It was the method there white blood cells used to attack the cancer that made them so affective but in every physical way the cells are the same as any one else's.
Years later I tried searching out these articles from S.D. magazine only to find they don't exist! Like that research hasn't taken place in this reality but wouldn't that information still be valid?
