Discussion Picachu tail

Just wanted to let people know that I just saw on ar/nostalgia someone had posted a pic of vintage Welch's jelly glasses and one was Picachu. It did not have a black tail-tip. I don't know just how vintage these glasses are.

I'll be honest I never heard of the pikachu tail thing until people started saying it was a mandela effect. I always always a pretty big pokemon fan growing up and I never remember it having a black tail.

This is also one of those Mandela effects that probably are related to memory problems for multiple reasons. 1, the ear tips are black, the tail is erect at ear height. I can imagine the brain merging the two. 2nd reason, Pichu has a black tail. People could be confusing Pichu for Pikachu.

His ear tips are black but his tail has never been black at the tip.

This sub what has it turned into... It's not about one or the other it's about why do we have BOTH.... Fruit of loom being the most famous with Bernstein bears... The question is why do we have physical evidence of BOTH...

Also now just recently only few years old we just got our 3rd Bernstein bears bernstan's bears... Now we have 3..... Why do we have 3 versions VS memory

We don't have physical evidence of both outside of human memory.

Bernstain? I've heard several versions besides Berenstain: Berenstein, Bernstein, Bearenstein....and all very similar.

A lot of the "both" is coming from knock offs, third party produced the kind with low quality control, etc. so mistakes are more likely which then drives people to be confused

Fruit of the loom knock offs (yeah they exist) often have the wrong logo.

We also live in an age where producing "photographic" evidence is incredibly easy to fake and not always easy to tell it's fake.

People also try to present obvious mistakes as evidence. The Berenstain Bears was presented the other day with a listing on some internet selling website with the items called Berenstein bears. The problem..the picture of the item had the correct name.

Because people don't really remember the details but they will argue to the death that they do. This sub is about memory and ego.
