Top 10 Mandela Effect Examples In Logos
#10: Ford’s Curl
Ford is one of the most influential and well known car companies on the planet. In fact, they’ve been making vehicles for over a century. And while you’d think that such a long-lasting brand’s logo would be imprinted in everyone’s memory, many “motorheads” have had to pump the brakes when they see it today. A lot of people are confused about the logo’s curly cue on the end of the “F.” Having been part of the logo since 1911, it’s certainly not a recent addition. The logo many remember, however, has no such curl, with the “F” in a straight line. This is a “Ford tough” one.
#9: Jif or Jiffy?
Top 20 Mandela Effect Examples In Logos
While this is more of a brand name Mandela Effect, the logo may play a role in the confusion. Jif is the peanut butter of choice for many, including moms - as the ads used to say. But, there are those who remember the name of this particular brand of peanut butter as “Jiffy,” not Jif. The logo itself does suggest 3 letters, to go with its three colored bars. It is possible people are just conflating it with rival peanut butter brand, Skippy. Or it could be tied to Jiffy Lube, the car service chain. Maybe it’s from Jiffy Pop, the popcorn brand? Either way, this Mandela Effect has made us hungry.
#8: 7 Up’s Hyphen
Top 50 Examples of the Mandela Effect
7 Up is a fairly popular soft drink, with its distinctive green color scheme, accented by a red dot. However, the location of this dot, and its role, has caused some serious debate. Its position has changed depending on the marketing of the time. Currently it acts as a pseudo-hyphen between the number 7 and the word “up.” Which is strange to some, because 7 Up no longer has a hyphen in the name. Outside of America, it’s all just one word – “7Up.” But in the United States, many recall a hyphen being a permanent fixture of the brand’s name and logo. Hmm, maybe Cool Spot knows something…
#7: Target’s Ring Count
Walmart Vs Target
Target has a very distinct brand for being an all-in-one store. Their logo is fairly memorable too, with their red and white color scheme featuring prominently in advertising campaigns. Still, for as famous as its logo is, it misses the mark for some people. Target’s, uh, “target” has a red dot with a single red ring around it. However, some people remember the logo having multiple rings. And while the logo did have multiple rings in the 1960s, folks recall the logo being different much more recently. Which begs the question - is this a false memory, or a bullseye recollection?
#6: Tony The Tiger’s Nose
Top 10 Tony Categories That Should Exist
Frosted Flakes have been a staple of the grocery store cereal aisle forever. Front and center on every box is the brand’s mascot, Tony the Tiger. While the big guy has gone through several redesigns, his current appearance is his most iconic – large body, red bandana, and a blue nose. However, that last feature is something some people take issue with. There are those who remember Tony the Tiger having a black nose. And he used to, in the early days. But, he eventually adopted a colorful snout. Is this a case of people confusing Tony with another cartoon tiger? If someone can get to the bottom of this that would be GRRRRRRRR-EAT!
#5: The Quaker Oats Man’s Hat & Age
Top 10 90s Examples of the Mandela Effect
Quaker Oats has been around for almost 150 years! Known for their breakfast cereals, both hot and cold, Quaker Oats has featured a consistent mascot. Based on William Penn, a real-life Quaker from the 17th century, some have begun to question this mascot’s appearance. Many breakfast enthusiasts remember the Quaker Oats man being significantly older and sporting a triangular hat. This, of course, is in contrast with the middle-aged man with a rounder hat seen today (and always). It’s possible the man’s white hair, or wig, led people to assume he must be older than he is. Triangular hats were also associated with the time period and the culture of Quakers. Let’s discuss over a bowl of cereal.
#4: The Laughing Cow’s Rings
Top 10 Sports Examples of the Mandela Effect
A French cheese brand, The Laughing Cow, features a mascot that is, surprise surprise, a laughing bovine. The logo features the crimson cow with a jovial expression on every product. But, there’s some disagreement when it comes to this farm animal’s accessories. Many cheese lovers swear that the happy mascot used to have gold rings, either in her ears or through her nose - or both. The Laughing Cow does indeed have earrings, but her ear tags are instead shaped like the packages a lot of the cheese comes in. This cheesy mystery is no laughing matter!
#3: The Monopoly Man’s Monocle
Top 20 Mind-Blowing Examples of the Mandela Effect
The beloved mascot of the board game Monopoly is named Rich Uncle Pennybags, but you may refer to him as “Mr. Monopoly” or simply “the Monopoly Man.” His look embodies that of a filthy rich tycoon – top hat, mustache, monocle. Wait - that last one may be a false memory. Mr. Monopoly has apparently never had a monocle. Plenty of people and TV shows have referenced this detail in their parodies, but when it comes to official merchandise, that monocle is about as real as Monopoly money. Could people be confusing him with Mr. Peanut? Or, has someone sent part of our collective reality “directly to jail?”
#2: Starbucks Star
Top 10 Starbucks Controversies
Starbucks is arguably the biggest name in coffee. Yes, there’s Dunkin’ Donuts and Tim Hortons out there, but Starbucks is the global brand that everyone knows. Or, so you’d think! Despite the millions of cups likely sold since the start of this video, some Starbucks patrons are surprised about something on its famous logo – the star above the mythological siren’s head. Many customers remember the logo having only a crown with no star above it. Well, the siren did indeed lack a star at one point, but that was before its iconic green look. If anyone does decide to devote themselves to this potential mystery, they’ll definitely need a lot of caffeine. We’re just sayin.’
#1: Fruit of the Loom’s Cornucopia
This well-known Mandela Effect concerns the logo of popular clothing brand, Fruit of the Loom. The company has been around for almost 175 years! And while its logo, featuring assorted fruits, has definitely gone through some changes over the years, there’s one thing it has never had – a cornucopia. Yep, this one is especially bizarre, as dozens of other sources, including movies, TV shows, and even album covers, reference Fruit of the Loom’s logo with a cornucopia present. Much like the fruit spilling out of a “horn of plenty,” we too are overflowing with questions.
