Mandela Effect

To be fair, that's what Ikea and Hyundai have been doing as well.

 

The Mandela Effect thing confuses me, to be honest, because such a big deal was made of 

1. Mandela finally being freed

2. His leading the ANC in the first post-Apartheid elections

3. His being president

I didn't, until this thread, realise it referred to people thinking he died in gaol, because that is just absurd. I thought it was that people had thought he'd died a year or two after leaving office, presumably based on the simple phenomenon of him being quite elderly, and out of the public eye.

 

Of course, as this is a wrestling forum, I suppose the most prominent example of the Mandela Effect is Shawn Michaels superkicking Marty Jannetty through the Barbershop window. 

Presumably people just thought it was Uncle Ben meeting the Spice Girls.
