Is it Jif or Jiffy?
This is one of those things that the matrix glitched on
Always been JIF never Jiffy maybe a Mandela effect from your history
Yeah, that's what it's called ... The weird thing is that I apparently remember all of the examples as the other thing that's actually wrong. I would assume it would actually be 50/50. Perhaps it's possible for people to doubt themselves to the extent that they just pick the wrong answer as the answer they would probably give.
From a quick search:
Nelson Mandela: Broome and others falsely remembered Mandela dying in prison in the 1980s, even though he was released in 1990 and became president of South Africa in 1994.
C-3PO: Some people misremember C-3PO from Star Wars as being entirely golden.
Jiffy: Some people misremember Jiffy as the name of a peanut butter brand.
The Berenstein Bears: Some people misremember the spelling of the classic children's book as The Berenstein Bears.
Mr. Monopoly: Some people misremember Mr. Monopoly as wearing a monocle.
Pikachu: Some people misremember Pikachu's tail as having black tips, when it's actually yellow.
Mickey Mouse: Some people misremember Mickey Mouse as wearing suspenders, when he's actually wearing shorts.
Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back: Some people misremember Darth Vader saying "Luke, I am your father" when he actually says "I am your father".
in australia "jif" is a brand of fine sand containing cleaner for scrubbing out charcoal and grease tar on pots and pans, and gunk stuck to porcelain, what looks like the identical product is sold in europe as "cif"
oh yeah reminds me also... i was always used to the expression "skallywag" from australia but apparently this comes from pre-civil war era USA and it was "scallawag" referring to "traitors" in the south who were campaigning against slavery, and the northerners who came south, they were called "carpetbaggers"... a lot like today's Digital Nomad
