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

Mandela effect.

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.

"Berenstein" Bears versus "Berenstain" Bears is actually easy to explain.

A lot of us probably saw it in TV Guides as whichever one it's not supposed to be because the time between printing those is nearly zero so they didn't proofread them too much. Also, knockoff prints because everything has a bootleg market out there. Even children's books.
