What do you call these bears?
The popular characters are featured in dozens of children’s books and videos and have been beloved by generations of fans. If you’ve been referring to Papa Bear, Mama Bear, Brother Bear, and Sister Bear as the Berenstein Bears, check again. The loveable characters, named after their creators Stan and Jan Berenstain, have been known as the Berenstain Bears ever since the publication of The Big Honey Hunt in 1962.
The Berenstain Bears are one example of the Mandela Effect, a term that may best be described as a collective misremembering. Visit the Sharon Forks Library this month to find ten examples of the phenomena scattered around the library in our Mandela Effect Scavenger Hunt. All ages are welcome to participate and compare memories of iconic characters and events. Take our Mandela Effect Mini Test at home to get a taste.
What do you think causes the Mandela Effect? Theories range from parallel worlds to simulated reality scenarios. Could it just be poor memories? We’re so fascinated by the Mandela Effect we created a parody video to ponder the phenomena. Check out There Is Something Wrong WithThis Timeline on FCPL's YouTube channel. We'd love to hear your thoughts and theories on the Mandela Effect.
