This isn't a real book cover. You can tell because it's supposed to say Berenstein bears
I was being facetious.
It's the Mandela effect; People remember it as the Bearenstein Bears, but it's Bearenstain and it doesn't feel right. I want to go back to my 'verse
It actually is just Berenstein and everyone else in the world just has a shit memory and bootleg merchandise
I legit still have my books from when I was a kid. Berenstien. My friend also has their books from when they were a kid. Berenstain. We argued about it off and on for like a decade before we finally settled it. We only have one book in common, a halloween one, but other than that we have no idea what happened. They were printed in different years, but why would that matter??? IDK, it is a mystery.
I could really use a picture of both books, preferably together (but either way). It would really help me talk to my neighbor who brings up the Mandela effect at least 5x per year.
I'll see if I can track her down. She moved to the UK for university about 6 years ago, but I doubt she brought all her childhood stuff with her(her whole family is still in southern California). My stuff is in storage near Washington at the moment, but I should be going up there before December to nab some stuff.
I bet the photos we took are in those boxes too xD
