"Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing's" popularity skyrocketed
and by the early '90s that people began experiencing
a collective Mandela effect. I'm like, "Mandela effect? What the heck is
a Mandela effect?" Some people have
a very distinct memory that Nelson Mandela was killed
in prison in the late 1980s. So that was the first recorded
group remembering of an event that did not
match the historical record. Wait, wait! [mysterious music playing]
