The Mandela Effect and Misremembered Memories

The Mandela effect is the idea that people have memories that don't match reality. For example, some remember Nelson Mandela dying in prison when he actually became a political leader. This belief is so strong that people think reality has changed. It's like misremembering Darth Vader saying 'Luke, I am your father' instead of 'No, I am your father.' Rather than accepting their fallible memory, people conclude that reality must be wrong. A popular example is Stauffer's Stovetop Stuffing, which some recall but doesn't actually exist.
