Discussion on Mandela Effect in Movies

Okay, did you guys hear about the new Mandela

effect that was just discovered?

And I'm sure there's more of these to be discovered, by the way.

There's old VHS's, there's old tapes, there's things we haven't seen in a while

that if we go back, I guarantee there's more Mandela effects

to be discovered.

But this one in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory from 1971 with

Gene Wilder,

which is pretty weird by the way, has a shocking Mandela effect.

So let's get into it. So we know that to get the golden ticket,

you have to buy a

chocolate bar, right? Not some Willy Wonka product, but like a

actual legit chocolate bar. But what if I told you, you could pop your VHS in,

if you still have one, and go watch the original,

never been tampered with, not

digitally altered.

He gets gifted, Charlie gets gifted, a Moon Pie now,

not a chocolate bar, as the first chance to getting a golden

ticket.

The timeline is, he got the birthday treat at home,

which it makes no sense. If you watch the clip, he's like,

"I think I got it." You

don't get a golden ticket if it's not a chocolate bar.

So what the heck?

And no one remembers it being a Moon Pie. It was supposed to be a chocolate bar.

Then Grandpa Joe secretly takes his saved tobacco money and buys Charlie a

traditional rectangular Wonka bar. That one is a dud.

And then in the street later, he buys a, again, chocolate bar, not a Moon Pie,

and gets the golden ticket. This one doesn't really make sense.

The movie specifically states you need to get a chocolate bar to win.

So why would he and the grandpa think he would even possibly win unless he had a

chocolate bar? And this is said to have spread debate for decades,

but only in the last like three months has this Moon Pie thing come

out, and people have been wondering about it.

I can't find anything about it, people talking about why you got a Moon

Pie if you

can't get a ticket from that. I don't see anyone talking about

that since 1971 up

until like this year. Family watches newscast stating golden

tickets are

exclusive to Wonka chocolate bars, opens a Moon Pie.

It doesn't make sense, and I don't remember no Moon Pie, man.

I remember him opening a chocolate bar in that damn house.

Now, here's the thing, though. A guy popped the VHS in his TV

and said he solved

the mystery of this Wom- uh, Moon Pie, and he says, "No, it is in the original."

You know, he says, "This is a VHS from 1971. It was not reprinted.

It wasn't remade. This is the OG, and it shows a Moon Pie,

so it must have always

been a Moon Pie." But that is not how the Mandela effect worked.

It's not that they went and changed it and Disney went and altered it.

It's that we're now on a different timeline where that didn't actually

happen.

That's the trippy part about Mandela effect.

It's not they're going into your basement and editing your VHS of Darth Vader

saying, "Luke, I'm your father," and now he says, "No,

I am your father." That's

not what a Mandela effect is. It's a timeline shift.

It's a little bit of a shocking thought, actually.
