'The Berenstain Bears' Effect Challenges Perception, Not Reality
By now, people who grew up in the early 90s and late 80s have probably heard of the Berenstain Bears controversy. To surmise—there's been debate over the correct spelling of Berenstain, with many disagreeing about how. Some believe it's how most materials depict it, while others are adamant that Berenstein is the correct spelling. The argument itself has gone past denying one side or the other to the point that people believe reality is glitching. A minority of interested parties subscribe to the Mandela Effect theory, wherein they concede facts, places, or events transpired differently than history dictates. Reddits, forums, and YouTube breakdowns dedicated to every instance that points to a quote-unquote glitch in the Matrix rack up insane views. We're obviously not living in a simulation—or at least not one that's verifiable—although some Mandela Effects are rather convincing. The Berenstain Bears are a perfect example.

Hundreds of mostly civilians were also taken captive and are still being held within Ecuadorian territory.
