If you remember something incorrectly, it's a false memory.

Aren't Tom Toms ketchup flavoured crisps in the shape of balls? :think:

Edit - Or rather, Tangy Toms

No, they were like tiny round kievs but full of ketchup...

Well then the thread would be 'have you ever got anything wrong'?... and flip, haven't we all... well, haven't YOU all? I haven't :idc:

I mean, its more of a phenomenom, that several thousand people share the same false memory of something. Like people dont incorrectly remember the monopoly guy wearing a yellow suit, but several thousand remember him wearing a monocle.. why?

I think it means an actual vivid memory you have of something, that even after discovering it's false you can't believe it as you remember differently.

Like us going to a party 2 years ago and I vividly remember you wearing a blue dress. I saw it and I remember it. Then you show me a photo and you were actually wearing a white dress. False memory. :smug:

:o

A mix of these?

No that was just you eyeing up someone else... that's why we ended up in couples therapy remember!?

Google has no idea what the 'fear the monocle' sidegame is.. are you sure that isnt just fanart haha? Theres a lot of fanart of him in the monocle because of the mandela effect now

Edit: it is fanart, https://edgyart.wordpress.com/portfo...r-the-monocle/

:think: Omg, it was Livia in the blue dress.

I was actually going to suggest people are thinking of the Pringles logo, but he doesn't have a monocle either. :worry:

I used to swear blind Carol Vorderman used to turn round the letters on Wheel of Fortune because I'd absolutely seen her doing so when I was much younger, eventually I realised I must have seen her on Countdown putting up the letters and thought it was Wheel of Fortune,but my recollections always had her in front of the Wheel of Fortune board :laugh:

That was Carol Smiley I think.

Not you paying dust to Jenny Powell?

Weren’t they potato with ketchup in?

Unless i’m thinking of something else.

I seem to remember a Canderel sweetener ad singing -

‘Canderel in the morning,Canderel in the evening’ but can’t find it anywhere.Like it never existed.

I used to like Adam

Yas I think I have £10 when infact I have about £1.67p x

Sounds like a dream you had one time that you told your sister about :fan:

No they were real! We had them at my gran's house loads of times over the space of a couple of years, AND I remember the advert (it was a racially questionable thing with a tribe sitting round a fire chanting "Tom-Toms ... Tom-Toms... Tom-Toms... Tom-toms Tom-toms TOM-TOMS-TOM-TOMS" faster and faster.)

Plus no one could have dreamt the horrible burns caused by steaming hot ketchup bursting out of a small ball of processed chicken.

Well yes but it's not a false memory it's just a memory of seeing the fan art wouldn't it.

I thought false memories were more personal, like people who remember being abused but weren't :/

No I doubt many people are vividly remembering fan art from their childhood and throughout their life.

False memories and the mandela effect are a bit different though, the OP brought up both, I think most of the thread has been people talking about different things to each other haha.
