Episode 16: Mandela Effect Explained | Parallel Universes or False Memories?

Did Nelson Mandela die in prison in the 1980s — or is that just a false memory shared by thousands? In this episode of The Conspiracy Theory Analyst, Robin Verrue explores the strange world of the Mandela Effect, where groups of people remember history differently than official records.

We break down the most famous Mandela Effect examples — the Berenstain Bears vs. Berenstein Bears, “Luke, I am your father,” Monopoly Man’s monocle, Pikachu’s tail, Fruit of the Loom’s missing cornucopia, and even the mysterious non-existent genie movie Shazaam.
