Hi! Newbie here and the M.E. has blown my mind for over a year. There are so many but the spelling of "dilemma" ( I am an avid reader and I distinctly remember dilemna ) Do you remember it spelled that way?
Not really, but I was in a Target the other day looking to buy some Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Mint candy and they didn't have any. They had all the other flavors but that one. I was standing there thinking to myself, if I walk up to one of the store employees and ask them if they have Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Mint and they tell me that Ghirardelli has never made a Dark Chocolate Mint flavor, I'm going to crap my pants right here in the candy aisle.
Fortunately, I saw the Dark Chocolate Mint ones in Walgreens later, so my close brush with the Mandela Effect was averted.
Besides also having the false memories of seeing a genie movie in the 90's starring Sinbad the Comedian, I also remember an incredibly tall man named Bo that would come to the house to visit my parents when I was a child. I remember numerous details of this man like him having to duck to enter the front door, he always wore a jean jacket, and I even remember stories my parents used to tell of him from before I was born. I remember this man coming to my house for at least a 3 year period as I was wheelchair bound for a year of it and would remember him and my dad sitting at the dinner table together talking to me about putting a go-cart motor on my chair so I could be the coolest kid on wheels. I remember all of this as only a person who lived it would but apparently I am the only one who remembers this at all. My siblings do not remember him, my parents insists he doesn't exist, and even asking my parents friends about this person yields no affirmations to his existence. I have all of these memories, and though I understand the reasoning behind the Mandela Effect, I am not sure why my brain has filled in these gaps in such a way.
