Merged The MANDELA Effect.

Veliki George said:
I'm very skeptical and I always look for rational explanations. I've been following this phenomenon for a while and it's been very funny and entertaining. Until the movie They live! I clearly remember it with an exclamation mark in the title. It seems like 80 percent of people remember it that way.
I can't find a rational explanation, but I can't just jump to conclusion that multiverses are merging because some pop cultural references change.
Is there any other skeptic who has experienced something like so called Mandela effect?
Also Thanksgiving confusion baffles me.

The rational explanation may simply be that the recalled events tend to be about trivial matters, and statistically some people will have the same misrememberings. I thought Mandela had died, remember a coming attraction poster for the movie Shazam featuring Sinbad, and thought Thanksgiving was on the third Thursday. I have thousands of other memories, accurate and not, that do not overlap with other peoples' recollections. The odds are that a lot of people will remember a few things wrong in the same way.
 
But really, the main example of the Mandela Effect is the girl from Moonraker, who fell in love at first sight with JAWS (Richard Kiel) had braces on when I saw it at the movies.

Now... I can find no evidence of those braces.

It really is baffling, because I remember her smiling, and he smiled back, and the fact that they both had metal appliances on their teeth was why they fell in love.

It's not on any copies of the film available.

That's actually a great barometer for demonstrating how bad memory is. Watch a movie you haven't seen in years and see how accurately you remember it.

Is it possible that that's a scene from The Spy Who Loved Me?

I'm going to have to look for that one, cause I swear I remember braces, too.
 
My mandela effect,
Vague memories of shazam starring sinbad
Scientist predicting Global cooling in the 70s I specifically remember the series finale of James Burke's The Day the Universe changed ending with such a prediction which appears to be totally false.
 
But they would say its a proof for ME.

"without being an actual Mandela Effect itself this advert might be one of the strongest proofs we have of the Mandela Effect. If Dolly never had braces in the movie Moonraker then this advert would make absolutely no sense at all. Anyone saying that we just have a false memory of Dolly wearing braces need only be referred to this commercial."

I watched Moonraker only a few weeks ago and had the exact same confusion.
I always thought she had braces as well...

I can think of two explanations off the top of my head that are more likely than "parallel worlds are colliding and the main effect is people appearing to misremember pop culturual trivia"

1: They just added the braces as a little visual reference to the Jaws character and did not intend to reference any particular scene or interaction from Moonraker.
Notice that Kiel doesn't even see her braces, and does not fall in love with her. He just smiles a lot, pays and leaves. Then she smiles and we, the audience, see her braces.

2: The people from the add agency also misremembered the scene.

3: They recognized that a lot of people misremembered the scene, and this was common, so played on that fact in their commercial (which was my first thought).
 
In my opinion, the commercial wasn't produced that way because they were aware of a "Mandela Effect" happening throughout the population.
 
Do you think it was produced because the directors remembered it that way, themselves?

No. I think that they wanted to create a reference to Jaws in a funny way.

I believe that that commercial predates the Internet and predates the (now) widespread realization that there is a Jaws Mandela Effect phenomenon. For some people, that commercial could cause the JME when they didn't actually have it prior.

Another possibility is that the commercial producers did not suffer from the ME nor did they think that others suffered from it, but...

They felt that Moonraker would have been so much more cool and funny if Dolly had had braces. IOW, not remembering her with braces, but instead realizing that she would have been better with braces. So they gave them to "her" in their commercial.
