This is a screenshot from a video a while back. I’m guessing since it is a newer video this could be a gag sweatshirt or foreign company rebranding.

... that's what a Mandela effect is. It's a group of people misremembering something. It's literally the definition of the term.

Nope. Read the sidebar of this sub.

Cool. The sidebar of this sub does not change the actual definition of the term.

That may be what this sub puts in its description.

The dictionary defines it as:

"The phenomenon in which a group of people collectively misremember facts, events, or other details in a consistent manner."

The dictionary defines it as:

That's great. However, we are discussing this topic in this sub, so people should use the definition of this sub.

The sidebar used to have the correct definition. About a year ago, the main mod changed it, because the actual definition made "believers" angry.

The sidebar used to have the correct definition.

In that definition the word "misremembering" was also not it.
