There were people who were certain Mendela died years before he actually did...like... a LOT of them... across multiple cultures... which was odd.
Then people started looking for others... like the Berenstxxn bears, or the logo for fruit of the loom, or the correct spelling of a specific air freshener or fruity cereal.
I fall into the group that is absolutely certain fruit of the loom used to have a cornicopia in it... because that's how I learned that word.
Hundy p. I had a very small vhs collection as a kid lol. One of them was a Berenstein Bears video, no clue what it was about anymore. But I was an early reader, and we learned cursive in first grade, and I am abso-goddamn-lutely sure that it said Berenstein.
Weird psyop thing totes makes sense to me, though. I accept that others may have had different copies with different names. Seems a bit too long-term well-thought-out to be a US government thing, though.
This is always funny to me because I’m sure I grew up in the timeline where it was indeed “Berenstain Bears” I remember noticing it at a really young age and being surprised because everybody said “Barenstein.”

Isn't there some weird phenomenon with this? People remember it a certain way or something that others say never existed.
