if you are referring to the regular old vanilla reddit app for android, maybe try this thing i just figured out..
ok, so if you just tap the black space to the right of the image, an external giphy link opens up.. either in the giphy app itself if you have it installed, otherwise in the reddit apps generic browser window looking external link viewer that looks like [this](https://imgur.com/a/OZiHECw)..
i tried it both ways and found that it works way better and is much easier to save if you *dont* open into the giphy app because that apparently only lets you copy a tiny copy of the gif to your clipboard and then you have to paste it into something like google docs or i suppose maybe a photo editor... or at least thats all i could get out of it using the giphy app
so i uninstalled giphy since its garbage anyway and tried it again.. this time the reddit apps generic link viewer opened it up full size and all i had to do was long press and _download image_
if you are still unable to save it, i uploaded it [here](https://imgur.com/a/JP0O6gb) for you.
and if you did already figure out how to save it, maybe you might find the technique i described above useful sometime in the future.
just trying to be helpful..
take it easy.
I made a post about fruit loops and how I was absolutely sure it was Froot Loops and people on here made fun and acted like I was stupid. I was happy to go back and gloat about the flip flop when it became froot again….yet the post was gone as if it never existed.
That's what they do on this sub. They only want to talk about how shitty their memories are and talk shit to anyone who doesn't see the world as they do.
In the end though, you'll have the last laugh... Because eventually everyone realizes it ... There will come a time when they can't explain it away anymore... And that's when they get put in a home because they taught their children a fake set of universal rules that do not apply to our universe.
In other words... They are mentally stuck here and are not worth your time.

#AMEN
i wake up everday hoping the time has come, im so sick of all the npc muppetbots who cant be bothered to look past the ends of their noses or have any original thoughts of their own..
most of them will absolutely refuse to even consider anything unless rachel maddow spoonfeeds it to them or it appears as one of the top two results on a google search.
That guy taped two dinner plates to his wall !!! He ended it right there , for the two O’s in FrOOt, I will never ever forget that dude lol, if it ever became fruit I would lose my shit but he ended all discussion or debate about it the moment he posted that image. It has been froot from that moment on at least, that I am 1000% on
And I told that plate guy when he posted it that's not how the Mandela Effect works. Flip flops don't happen to everyone at the same time.
BTW, screenshots and photos dont work with the Mandela Effect. Just ask all the people in all The Thinker statue photos with their hands on their heads instead of their chins.
I work in a grocery store. It’s Froot Loops. The manifest says Froot Loops, the displays say Froot Loops. The Kelloggs rep says it’s Froot Loops. This is a hill I will die on.
One of the generic versions of Froot Loops is also called Fruit Rings. This just isn't a thing, there's also all kinds of candy with fruit in the name. This just isn't a thing.
Third agree (with you and OP). I thought it was FROOT growing up. Then sometime in the last few years I was shocked to find out that it was FRUIT. A few days ago I learned again that it was FROOT. I’m definitely convinced ME things are switching back and forth at this point.
I grew up with an English teacher for a mom. I started reading at a young age and read the first Harry Potter front to back at age 6.
I picked out my own damn cereal at the grocery when I was kid, and for years I chose fruit loops. I remember it was spelled that way, because I pulled a box off the shelf every week for years. You can die on your hill and I will die on mine because no way anyone will ever convince me I read something wrong for years of my life.
The Mandela effect is when something is one way and changes into another. Your scenario is something being one way, then changes, then changes back. You want r/tceffEalednaM for when that happens.
Said elsewhere, but OP, I concur with you. I experienced this flip-flop too.
I thought it was FROOT, was surprised when (a really long time ago now) I found it was Fruit, it seemed like a missed opportunity, and then it changed back to how I thought it was, FROOT.
Had the same with the Apollo 13 flip-flop only the attention I gave that one was far greater. So yes this is a real phenomena and it's not changing at the same time for everyone!
It’s one of the first ME’s that reverted back to the original form of what everyone remembered. Makes it a special ME imo.
I too remember the switch from Froot to Fruit and it really pissed me off bc I knew it was Froot, then one day it magically changed back. All within the past year or so imo
The screenshot would change too. Your consciousness is changing which body/universe it inhabits. When you think it's fruit and its really froot there is another you that thinks it's froot but it's really fruit.
You'd each attempt to screenshot your proof, but then zap over and the proof you thought you had is proof you were wrong.
No I'm saying it's Froot Loops, always been. No "alternative timelines" or "changing of subconscious" no other "body/universe" etc. It's this one timeline never changing
I noticed this one too and remember posts about it being fruit and it’s totally froot again. It was a big pregnancy craving and i intentionally had to write fruit when i texted my husband to get them, when i saw it was froot again my mind was blown lol
I remember seeing posts about it "fruit loops" and how it was another Mandela effect! I had looked it up, was confused but forgot about until this post. It's froot again?!
Meanwhile those of us with dinnerplates on the wall for the last few years have been completely immune to any of this.
Funny that. Almost as if nothing actually ever changes. I think your girlfriend has the right idea, just nodding and saying 'Yes, darling'.
There's a school of thought that these so called 'flip flops' are because people just get confused which way the ME goes.
Instead of just trying to remember 'It's Froot, not Fruit!' which is a recipe for mix-ups, if you do something that fixes it in one way and one way only, you don't get confused and low and behold the thing never actually flips.
One idea which perhaps started out as a joke but is, unironically the best 'scientific' idea to come out of this sub ever was a guy who whether he actually did or not spoke about sticking up two dinner plates on his kitchen wall to represent the two Os in 'Froot'.
If it flips one day, he's gonne have Fruit Loops in the cupboard and two dinner plates on the wall suggesting something has changed or, more likely, it'll always be Froot Loops and never change. Or I guess he wakes up and there's a dildo and a horshoe stuck up there instead.
Of course, this isn't 'evidence' to anybody that wasn't aware he was putting up the plates when it was Froot, but it seems a pretty good way to insulate yourself from any confusion-induced flip flops.
I personally think the Mandela effect is a product of humans being terrible at accurately storing memores. But, if it were alternate universes or timelines or whatever the theory, where reality changes.. why would the dinner plates not also disappear from the wall? If in that reality/timeline it was always Fruit then the dinner plates wouldn’t have been put on the wall in the first place? I don’t understand where the reality changes begin and end in these theories.
Sure. That *could* happen. It's more as a way to prove to yourself that a flip flop has (or hasn't) occured.
While lots of people claim flip flops, I've never heard anybody who had a system like this ever experiencing a flip flop.
Well, my suggestion is that *nothing* changes, people are just mistaken and that by doing something that really helps the memory stick in your head properly (two plates = 'oo') that particular example of the ME will then never flip for you.
The point is that you're much more likely to retain memory of both "froot" and "two dinner plates on my wall". The first is "maybe i made a memory mistake", the second is a bizarre action nobody would take and memorize for no reason, so you can be more sure you did it if it changes.
I’m with you. I don’t think people in this sub understand how fallible the human memory is. If I’m not mistaken everytime you recall a memory you’re remembering the memory of that memory. After the 50th time you recall that memory it’s going to be a lot different than the original event because your brain is filling in most of the details each time. Anytime someone says “I remember 100% it was ____ when I was a kid” I can’t help but laugh because no you don’t, you just remember what you think you remember.
It’s two things - shitty memory, and a brain that is especially good at finding/creating patters out of missing information.
Mix those two together and you have a recipe for Mandela effects.
I think it’s even simpler. All of the off brand Froot Loops spell it Fruit. You’ve got your Millville Fruit Rounds, your Malt o Meal Tootie Fruties, Great Value Fruit Spins, etc… if someone grew up with those and not Kellogg’s brand I can see where their mind would confuse them.
Nope, it was FRUIT LOOPS, I recall thinking they missed an opportunity by not having the cereal for the OO's in FROOT like I recalled it being an like it is in LOOPS.
I remember it being changed because they weren’t allowed to put fruit in the title because it doesn’t contain fruit. And now my packets say froot, I am looking at it as I poured a bowl for breakfast this morning, (I’m an adult, it’s my life, shhh) I always remember it being froot, and the changing to fruit Ike’s me as not right for a long while.
Ok this literal exact thing happened to me too with froot loops!! Except it stayed fruit loops for a couple days.. I didn’t check again until a few months later, told a friend about it and googled it to blow their mind with proof.. and it was back to froot loops. I’m pretty certain no one believes me when I tell them of this so I stopped bothering telling people lol but I am relieved someone else experienced it too
Yo this is fucked up. Just LAST WEEK, I was blown away by the whole Fruit of the Loom cornucopia debacle, which prompted me to look into more Mandela Effect examples online. One of them was Froot Loops/Fruit Loops. The article/listicle I was looking at said it was always Fruit Loops. I quickly checked the brand website and it was Fruit Loops… I said to myself, out loud, “no way, I’m sure it was Froot Loops… Well, maybe I’m wrong.” This was just last week. I settled it in my mind and accepted that it must have been Fruit Loops as weird as it looked as I was sure there were cereal for the “o” s in both words. And now this. WTF. It switched back.
I love the sensationalism on the posts here.
"I was SHOCKED"
"I DISTINCTLY remember"
"I couldn't believe it!"
I wish I could get excited about anything as much as people here get over being wrong
Thanks to the dearth of horrible podcast ads I've been getting with a terrible script of the "toucan" correcting some interviewer the it's "frooooot loops", this whole post seems like bad astroturfing.
I'm sure you have a post when it changed to fruit right? You took a picture? You shouted out the change to the world? No? oh.. what a surprise, almost like it didn't happen.
Froot Loops are trash food filled with shit dye. Froot is misspelled. Just remember Froot = Fake Garbage. That's how you'll remember which one. I've never seen a flip flop.
It's interesting and despite the seeming lunacy, I agree that it a) happens and b) upsets our common ideas about what reality is. I experienced that particular "flip-flop" last summer.
At the very least it may indicate that some player has found the base maths of reality, like the physicist who identified "check codes" in the foundational math of this universe a few years ago... but who knows without an extensive background in physics, a community to discuss it with and a high end IQ?
For laypeople, it might as well be a miracle or similar. My own list of discrepancies is long, even discounting the many that I'm not "sure" about.
"Weird" understates the situation.
Oh my gosh, yes! The same thing happened to me and my boyfriend, but over the course of a few months. It was also with “fruit”/“froot” and it flipped back and forth!
[It got changed because of a lawsuit a long time ago but both have been correct at one point. ](https://www.thedailymeal.com/1211064/the-lawsuit-that-made-kelloggs-change-the-original-froot-loops-name/)
I just searched this up bc it pops into my head at least once a week and Im so glad someone else had experienced this, although at different times.
In 2017 I went through a phase where I ate froot loops all the time. I've always remembered it as froot loops and have always been a big fan of cereal. But then in late 2017/early 2018, I noticed people talking about the froot loops/fruit loops Mandela effect. It was suddenly fruit loops despite so many people remembering it as froot, myself included. I was really weirded out by this and spent so much time in this subreddit talking and reading about it, constantly for a week or two. I was obsessed over this bc I only remember it being froot. I so clearly remember the comments here by people who said that we were just misremembering it, because "loops" had the two cereals for "o"s so we just misrem "fruit" being the same way. I was never a big believer in the Mandela effect and was thinking, okay maybe my memories are wrong.
BUT THEN IT SWITCHED BACK!!! The first time I could almost accept it was a memory issue, but definitely not now. I remember *so clearly* reading the things people said to explain it away when it was fruit. And the posts talking about this are gone!! Or were when I checked last. Probably still gone.
I remember this so clearly. It's been 6 years and it still really freaks me out. There's been 2 Mandela effects with froot/fruit loops that I've seen, I remember it so well!!
Maybe they've moved on from that phase. I don't know, but back in the day every other post there was about a weird bug of plant that someone never knew existed. I almost got banned for "questioning" someone else's experience when I pointed out that maybe the person was just previously unaware.
I got perma banned for finding an old sweepstakes commercial on YouTube with Ed McMahon. (And trust me, there is a reason no one remembers American Family Publishers. They could not advertise to save their company.)
Ok well the whole point is not to try and debunk others. Saying “maybe you forgot” or “that never happened” is completely pointless and not helpful. People have been ridiculed and told they were wrong/crazy/making it up in subs like this for years. That’s not what that site it for. Don’t go on unless you are interested in sharing or listening to others experiences. If you just want to skerp derp, then this is sub is right for you!
“The whole point is not to try and debunk others” what a great way to spread misinformation. What you’re describing is called groupthink, and is generally avoided in conversations where critical thinking is helpful.
Discovering a thing you've never seen before and calling it an ME is a bridge too far for me. I don't even see how you can call that an ME. It's not like they have a different memory of something, they just lack a memory of something. You have to have some standards.

This is one of the top posts of all time on that sub and its literally "wow I didn't know this animal existed, guess I must be able to travel to different dimensions"
Sorry but I don’t see where the poster states that at all. Many of the comments have been deleted. What gives you the impression this is a top post of all time?
From what I can see it got traction because it’s a pic of a beautiful bird. No one, even in the comments states that they have switched universes. I feel like you are being disingenuously negative and dismissive. There are many dozens of top posts (ahead of this one) that are valid experiences. Just stop trying to discount something you are already closed off to. It’s not getting anyone anywhere.
I've seen two completely different art styles used for Curious George. I'm willing to entertain the possibility there was an illustrator who gave George a tail.
Yep, no debate, no skepticism, just a critical thinking-less hellscape with quality posts such as: “zomg guys, I had no idea Mongolia was a country, it never existed until I actually looked at a map since the last time I failed geography in high school!” and you have to respect that idea lol
you mean frewt lewps?
jk. But in all honesty, companies seem to have caught on to the mandella effect and how much publicity it brings a company. To corporations, the mandella effect the best modern marketing scheme. Coldwell Banker in San Francisco is one such corporation that is purposefully creating their own mandella effect for publicity. They dba as Caldwell Banker but have erased all evidence of it on the internet. Don't fall for the marketing fake mandellas
It's all wonderful and baffling residue. I can show you a similar pile for just about any other ME. Do you have any idea how many LinkedIn people list "Chic-fil-A" or "Lil' Caesar's"?
Thats fine. Im not crusading this claim. Im just pointing out that firms are now using the mandella effect as a marketing strategy. There are still real MEs but its harder to tell.
Coldwell has shown no marketing behavior that you've demonstrated. For instance, in your Linda Hollington link she lists current as Caldwell Banker Paradise. Yet if you run a search, it's clearly Coldwell Banker Paradise. Why this person got their company name wrong after getting right in the past makes no sense whatsoever... but it's not because of anything the company did.
i don't believe it one bit. i believe some people have a similar experience regarding this brand of cereal but i don't believe for one second that *you* went to the froot loops official site in order to prove anything at any point, not today not yesterday not at any moment of your life -what's the url of such site even- then showed it to your girlfriend out of the blue -do you even *have* a girlfriend??- and then the next day it was different and you showed it to her again - what was the context for such thing, even? do you two gather to have some brunch every day, and share strange observations about the world around us? sorry if this comes out as hostile but i really, truly don't believe one bit *your* story. if you said something along the lines of "here's a thread i found yesterday that was the total opposite" or "here's a screenshot i took and a scribble that now makes no sense" or some other sci-fi plot device i could start considering it, but come on.
edit: if you want tips, starting the story as "i was just reminiscing about the good ol' days and wanted to look at pictures of cereal" makes anything that comes afterwards sound really phony. at the very least come with an anecdote or something about the bird and such. man i was having a rough day yesterday so i went on google images and searched for pogs.
So I have the same experience as OP. Froot growing up, Fruit, the last few years, and after seeing this, Froot again. I was just in the grocery store last week thinking (what i always think when i see it) that "Fruit" is such a missed opportunity for advertising because if it were "Froot", they can replace the Os like we all know and love.
WTF…my entire life it’s been Fruit Loops. I would have noticed a misspelling like that because I was a really good speller (went to regional spelling bee, I think it was regional anyway). As a kid, I noticed “Captain Crunch” was “Cap’n” which stuck me as odd. Anyway I’m shocked to Google this now and see “Froot Loops.” It doesn’t look right.
And no I’m not thinking of “Fruit by the Foot” either.
i remember seeing a video years ago about the mandela affect. it said that “froot loops” was actually “fruit loops.” i was surprised. now i just googled “fruit loops” and all im seeing are “froot loops.” i witnessed this one too, thanks for sharing
OP I have the same exact Mandela effect lmao
Only thing is, I only remember reading about the change to “Fruit” somewhere, I never saw the logo for it
I’ve only seen it as the cereal Os for both words in the logo
I also experienced this flip flop, albeit it's been Froot for many years now for me. But for a while i was shocked to find it was Fruit, and I thought it was such a missed opportunity if it had never been FROOT and I was just mistaken.
Other flip-flops....
"Sex And The City" to "Sex In The City" and back
"The Flintstones" to "The Flinstones"
and back
Others I can't remember atm but I did have a personal flip flop experience at least a thousand other people saw which was...
"Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band" to "Bruce Springstein and the E Street Band" and back.
That one I researched heavily the moment I caught it. Stayed up almost all night....the next day it flopped back. Like it never happened.
Also, in case it matters... the next day when it was back to normal, there was alot about a supposed cover Band that spelled it wrong. Seemed like a cover story was being made. Not saying it did but wow.
Fun fact: You can own a tucan in California.
Yucatán is in Mexico, not California
You can tan in both.
Get outta here, Batman.
Just want to say, fuck this garbage app that won't let me interact with the gif to save it. I love this so much.

That guy taped two dinner plates to his wall !!! He ended it right there , for the two O’s in FrOOt, I will never ever forget that dude lol, if it ever became fruit I would lose my shit but he ended all discussion or debate about it the moment he posted that image. It has been froot from that moment on at least, that I am 1000% on
And I told that plate guy when he posted it that's not how the Mandela Effect works. Flip flops don't happen to everyone at the same time.

Thinker statue has always been chin though.
I work in a grocery store. It’s Froot Loops. The manifest says Froot Loops, the displays say Froot Loops. The Kelloggs rep says it’s Froot Loops. This is a hill I will die on.
Fun fact. It has to be Froot, because there's no actual fruit...
And yet fruity pebbles neither contains fruit, or pebbles.

Maybe they get away with the y.. It's fruity, but not really fruit... Don't even get me started on grape nuts, though...
One of the generic versions of Froot Loops is also called Fruit Rings. This just isn't a thing, there's also all kinds of candy with fruit in the name. This just isn't a thing.
I've been wrong once or twice, before. But don't tell my millions of followers. 😜
Omg you are right! I will make a cheap version called "fruit-ish rocks"
Fun fact. Captain Crunch doesn't contain actual captains!
No but it definitely contains Crunch that rips the shit out of the roof of your mouth.
That cereal doesn’t even have the word ‘Captain’ in its name!
Yes that’s why this ME is so crazy, I’ve also seen the flip with my own eyes - right now I can’t even tell you if it’s Froot or Fruit 😭
Third agree (with you and OP). I thought it was FROOT growing up. Then sometime in the last few years I was shocked to find out that it was FRUIT. A few days ago I learned again that it was FROOT. I’m definitely convinced ME things are switching back and forth at this point.
I grew up with an English teacher for a mom. I started reading at a young age and read the first Harry Potter front to back at age 6.

You can die on your hill and I will die on mine because no way anyone will ever convince me I read something wrong for years of my life.
Sorry to those downvoting but if this is their experience, this is their experience. I want to hear it, so don't downvote valid statements.
Yes it is Froot Loops again.
The Mandela effect is when something is one way and changes into another. Your scenario is something being one way, then changes, then changes back. You want r/tceffEalednaM for when that happens.
truly groundbreaking 😂
That wasn’t a sub Reddit?
\*slow clap\* Bravo. I want to see r/tceffEalednaM blossom
It's called a flip-flop, it is premium version of the Mandela Effect, much harder to discount.
Eh, I never felt like paying for premium. I still have Mandela Effect with ads.
it always has been
That’s what they want you to think
who's they ?
The Jewish space lasers of course
I mean, shit, I wish any of this made sense. Just tell me we all have lead poisoning and reality is perfectly stable and mundane.
Life is perfectly stable and mundane

Ok fine. I thought we were talking about the Mandela effect here. Guess not.
It’s one of the first ME’s that reverted back to the original form of what everyone remembered. Makes it a special ME imo. I too remember the switch from Froot to Fruit and it really pissed me off bc I knew it was Froot, then one day it magically changed back. All within the past year or so imo
Nah, it changed back many yeas ago, well, for me. we all jump between different realities at different times, it's weird man.
Alright, where’s the dinner plates guy? That post was years ago at this point and proves it’s been “Froot” since at least then.
Why did you not take screenshots?
The screenshot would change too. Your consciousness is changing which body/universe it inhabits. When you think it's fruit and its really froot there is another you that thinks it's froot but it's really fruit. You'd each attempt to screenshot your proof, but then zap over and the proof you thought you had is proof you were wrong.
I miss the universe that had the cornucopia in the froot of the loom logo. I nearly had a break down when that one became a debate.
Lol...no. none of that is true
So you're saying that if the ME is real it can be tripped up with a screen shot?
No I'm saying it's Froot Loops, always been. No "alternative timelines" or "changing of subconscious" no other "body/universe" etc. It's this one timeline never changing
I noticed this one too and remember posts about it being fruit and it’s totally froot again. It was a big pregnancy craving and i intentionally had to write fruit when i texted my husband to get them, when i saw it was froot again my mind was blown lol
I remember seeing posts about it "fruit loops" and how it was another Mandela effect! I had looked it up, was confused but forgot about until this post. It's froot again?!
Yeah, it was literally “Fruit” just last week when I checked. They’re fucking with us.
Yes, it went froot fruit froot for me too!!!
Hahaha this is the real life version of "I bet he's thinking about other girls" and what we're really thinking about
Meanwhile those of us with dinnerplates on the wall for the last few years have been completely immune to any of this. Funny that. Almost as if nothing actually ever changes. I think your girlfriend has the right idea, just nodding and saying 'Yes, darling'.
What dinner plates? Why are they on the wall?
There's a school of thought that these so called 'flip flops' are because people just get confused which way the ME goes.

One idea which perhaps started out as a joke but is, unironically the best 'scientific' idea to come out of this sub ever was a guy who whether he actually did or not spoke about sticking up two dinner plates on his kitchen wall to represent the two Os in 'Froot'. If it flips one day, he's gonne have Fruit Loops in the cupboard and two dinner plates on the wall suggesting something has changed or, more likely, it'll always be Froot Loops and never change. Or I guess he wakes up and there's a dildo and a horshoe stuck up there instead. Of course, this isn't 'evidence' to anybody that wasn't aware he was putting up the plates when it was Froot, but it seems a pretty good way to insulate yourself from any confusion-induced flip flops.
I personally think the Mandela effect is a product of humans being terrible at accurately storing memores. But, if it were alternate universes or timelines or whatever the theory, where reality changes.. why would the dinner plates not also disappear from the wall? If in that reality/timeline it was always Fruit then the dinner plates wouldn’t have been put on the wall in the first place? I don’t understand where the reality changes begin and end in these theories.
Sure. That *could* happen. It's more as a way to prove to yourself that a flip flop has (or hasn't) occured. While lots of people claim flip flops, I've never heard anybody who had a system like this ever experiencing a flip flop.
So, it’s only the object itself that changes and not references to it? I’m not trying to be snarky, just trying to understand what’s being proposed.
Well, my suggestion is that *nothing* changes, people are just mistaken and that by doing something that really helps the memory stick in your head properly (two plates = 'oo') that particular example of the ME will then never flip for you.
Understood. Thanks.
The point is that you're much more likely to retain memory of both "froot" and "two dinner plates on my wall". The first is "maybe i made a memory mistake", the second is a bizarre action nobody would take and memorize for no reason, so you can be more sure you did it if it changes.
I’m with you. I don’t think people in this sub understand how fallible the human memory is. If I’m not mistaken everytime you recall a memory you’re remembering the memory of that memory. After the 50th time you recall that memory it’s going to be a lot different than the original event because your brain is filling in most of the details each time. Anytime someone says “I remember 100% it was ____ when I was a kid” I can’t help but laugh because no you don’t, you just remember what you think you remember.
It’s two things - shitty memory, and a brain that is especially good at finding/creating patters out of missing information. Mix those two together and you have a recipe for Mandela effects.
Dafaq??? Just switch cereal.
That does seem like a more reasonable reaction to believing the name of your breakfast keeps switching, I accept.
Why are you here?
Because I'm interested in the Mandela Effect. How about you?
Hear me out. **It's never been Fruit Loops.** As kids y'all saw Fruity Pebbles being marketed alongside Froot Loops and got them mixed up.
I think it’s even simpler. All of the off brand Froot Loops spell it Fruit. You’ve got your Millville Fruit Rounds, your Malt o Meal Tootie Fruties, Great Value Fruit Spins, etc… if someone grew up with those and not Kellogg’s brand I can see where their mind would confuse them.
Or other non cereal products that were heavily marketed such as Fruit by the Foot
Nope, it was FRUIT LOOPS, I recall thinking they missed an opportunity by not having the cereal for the OO's in FROOT like I recalled it being an like it is in LOOPS.
Every time you recall a memory it changes
It was not
Not for you, was for me.
I remember it being changed because they weren’t allowed to put fruit in the title because it doesn’t contain fruit. And now my packets say froot, I am looking at it as I poured a bowl for breakfast this morning, (I’m an adult, it’s my life, shhh) I always remember it being froot, and the changing to fruit Ike’s me as not right for a long while.
Ok this literal exact thing happened to me too with froot loops!! Except it stayed fruit loops for a couple days.. I didn’t check again until a few months later, told a friend about it and googled it to blow their mind with proof.. and it was back to froot loops. I’m pretty certain no one believes me when I tell them of this so I stopped bothering telling people lol but I am relieved someone else experienced it too
Yo this is fucked up. Just LAST WEEK, I was blown away by the whole Fruit of the Loom cornucopia debacle, which prompted me to look into more Mandela Effect examples online. One of them was Froot Loops/Fruit Loops. The article/listicle I was looking at said it was always Fruit Loops. I quickly checked the brand website and it was Fruit Loops… I said to myself, out loud, “no way, I’m sure it was Froot Loops… Well, maybe I’m wrong.” This was just last week. I settled it in my mind and accepted that it must have been Fruit Loops as weird as it looked as I was sure there were cereal for the “o” s in both words. And now this. WTF. It switched back.
You never saw the plate guy, or what?
Always been Froot Loops. The 4 o’s are all Froot Loops…..
Maybe you just got the dollar store version and didn’t notice
It’s literally always been Froot Loops
People will believe any crackpot bullshit. We’re doomed as a species.
I love the sensationalism on the posts here. "I was SHOCKED" "I DISTINCTLY remember" "I couldn't believe it!" I wish I could get excited about anything as much as people here get over being wrong
You're doing a pretty bang up job at it so far.
This is why I like this sub. Both of y’all are upvoted, perfect balance of skeptics and believers
Snap.
If something really weird like that happened to you, would't you be shocked as well?
I would definitely document it.
If you’re sure everyone is wrong, why are you here?
He’s literally wrong though lol
I don't think everyone is wrong, some people are just lying
It’s the funniest thing ever. You forget 1000 things every day.
Toocan, son of Sam!
Thanks to the dearth of horrible podcast ads I've been getting with a terrible script of the "toucan" correcting some interviewer the it's "frooooot loops", this whole post seems like bad astroturfing.
I’m certain it used to be Froot Luips
So you bought a pack of fruit loops that you can now prove this once and for all, right?
I'm sure you have a post when it changed to fruit right? You took a picture? You shouted out the change to the world? No? oh.. what a surprise, almost like it didn't happen.
Damn isn’t crazy how we never catch it when it switches to Fruit-Loops?
Uhmmmmm Froot Loops and the o’s were the actual Froot Loops… like ???
Do you have any way of finding the exact date? Was there maybe a related text message exchange between you and your gf that you can search for?
screen shot?
Holy crap, I’ve been following the Froot Loops to Fruit Loops thing for a bit, and you’re right it is back wtf
Foop loofs
https://youtu.be/Y7ZQ6dwS6J0?si=sZKbjINHi9S8OGMh In this commercial it's spelled froot
It's Froot Loops!
Froot Loops are trash food filled with shit dye. Froot is misspelled. Just remember Froot = Fake Garbage. That's how you'll remember which one. I've never seen a flip flop.
Yup, this one flipped for me too. Mandela effect is real and more and more people are waking up to it ❤️💡
It's interesting and despite the seeming lunacy, I agree that it a) happens and b) upsets our common ideas about what reality is. I experienced that particular "flip-flop" last summer. At the very least it may indicate that some player has found the base maths of reality, like the physicist who identified "check codes" in the foundational math of this universe a few years ago... but who knows without an extensive background in physics, a community to discuss it with and a high end IQ? For laypeople, it might as well be a miracle or similar. My own list of discrepancies is long, even discounting the many that I'm not "sure" about. "Weird" understates the situation.
Oh my gosh, yes! The same thing happened to me and my boyfriend, but over the course of a few months. It was also with “fruit”/“froot” and it flipped back and forth!
I'm sorry, OP, but it was never Fruit Loops.
It was, maybe never in a universe you were in. But many of us were in a reality where it was Fruit Loops.
Alright I need to get out of this sub.
Wait are you telling me it’s back to Froot again?
No you didn't , always been froot and never changed
Absolute drivel

[It got changed because of a lawsuit a long time ago but both have been correct at one point. ](https://www.thedailymeal.com/1211064/the-lawsuit-that-made-kelloggs-change-the-original-froot-loops-name/)
That's a myth
I talk about the last 7 years. Thats 60 years ago.
“Flakes” 🤒
I just searched this up bc it pops into my head at least once a week and Im so glad someone else had experienced this, although at different times. In 2017 I went through a phase where I ate froot loops all the time. I've always remembered it as froot loops and have always been a big fan of cereal. But then in late 2017/early 2018, I noticed people talking about the froot loops/fruit loops Mandela effect. It was suddenly fruit loops despite so many people remembering it as froot, myself included. I was really weirded out by this and spent so much time in this subreddit talking and reading about it, constantly for a week or two. I was obsessed over this bc I only remember it being froot. I so clearly remember the comments here by people who said that we were just misremembering it, because "loops" had the two cereals for "o"s so we just misrem "fruit" being the same way. I was never a big believer in the Mandela effect and was thinking, okay maybe my memories are wrong. BUT THEN IT SWITCHED BACK!!! The first time I could almost accept it was a memory issue, but definitely not now. I remember *so clearly* reading the things people said to explain it away when it was fruit. And the posts talking about this are gone!! Or were when I checked last. Probably still gone. I remember this so clearly. It's been 6 years and it still really freaks me out. There's been 2 Mandela effects with froot/fruit loops that I've seen, I remember it so well!!
This is not the sub for you. These folks are nothing but deniers. Come over to r/retconned for actual experiences.
Ahhh yes, r/retconned. The place where anything you previously weren't aware of counts as a ME.
Wrong but so typical of someone here to be so close minded
Maybe they've moved on from that phase. I don't know, but back in the day every other post there was about a weird bug of plant that someone never knew existed. I almost got banned for "questioning" someone else's experience when I pointed out that maybe the person was just previously unaware.
I got perma banned for finding an old sweepstakes commercial on YouTube with Ed McMahon. (And trust me, there is a reason no one remembers American Family Publishers. They could not advertise to save their company.)
Ok well the whole point is not to try and debunk others. Saying “maybe you forgot” or “that never happened” is completely pointless and not helpful. People have been ridiculed and told they were wrong/crazy/making it up in subs like this for years. That’s not what that site it for. Don’t go on unless you are interested in sharing or listening to others experiences. If you just want to skerp derp, then this is sub is right for you!
“The whole point is not to try and debunk others” what a great way to spread misinformation. What you’re describing is called groupthink, and is generally avoided in conversations where critical thinking is helpful.
Discovering a thing you've never seen before and calling it an ME is a bridge too far for me. I don't even see how you can call that an ME. It's not like they have a different memory of something, they just lack a memory of something. You have to have some standards.

Sorry but I don’t see where the poster states that at all. Many of the comments have been deleted. What gives you the impression this is a top post of all time?
From what I can see it got traction because it’s a pic of a beautiful bird. No one, even in the comments states that they have switched universes. I feel like you are being disingenuously negative and dismissive. There are many dozens of top posts (ahead of this one) that are valid experiences. Just stop trying to discount something you are already closed off to. It’s not getting anyone anywhere.

I've seen two completely different art styles used for Curious George. I'm willing to entertain the possibility there was an illustrator who gave George a tail.
That sub reddit banned me in all the multiverses ;-(
Yep, no debate, no skepticism, just a critical thinking-less hellscape with quality posts such as: “zomg guys, I had no idea Mongolia was a country, it never existed until I actually looked at a map since the last time I failed geography in high school!” and you have to respect that idea lol
you mean frewt lewps? jk. But in all honesty, companies seem to have caught on to the mandella effect and how much publicity it brings a company. To corporations, the mandella effect the best modern marketing scheme. Coldwell Banker in San Francisco is one such corporation that is purposefully creating their own mandella effect for publicity. They dba as Caldwell Banker but have erased all evidence of it on the internet. Don't fall for the marketing fake mandellas
> They dba as Caldwell Banker This is blatant misinformation

It's all wonderful and baffling residue. I can show you a similar pile for just about any other ME. Do you have any idea how many LinkedIn people list "Chic-fil-A" or "Lil' Caesar's"?
Thats fine. Im not crusading this claim. Im just pointing out that firms are now using the mandella effect as a marketing strategy. There are still real MEs but its harder to tell.
Coldwell has shown no marketing behavior that you've demonstrated. For instance, in your Linda Hollington link she lists current as Caldwell Banker Paradise. Yet if you run a search, it's clearly Coldwell Banker Paradise. Why this person got their company name wrong after getting right in the past makes no sense whatsoever... but it's not because of anything the company did.
Want to bet? I got this info from the bbb website
i don't believe it one bit. i believe some people have a similar experience regarding this brand of cereal but i don't believe for one second that *you* went to the froot loops official site in order to prove anything at any point, not today not yesterday not at any moment of your life -what's the url of such site even- then showed it to your girlfriend out of the blue -do you even *have* a girlfriend??- and then the next day it was different and you showed it to her again - what was the context for such thing, even? do you two gather to have some brunch every day, and share strange observations about the world around us? sorry if this comes out as hostile but i really, truly don't believe one bit *your* story. if you said something along the lines of "here's a thread i found yesterday that was the total opposite" or "here's a screenshot i took and a scribble that now makes no sense" or some other sci-fi plot device i could start considering it, but come on. edit: if you want tips, starting the story as "i was just reminiscing about the good ol' days and wanted to look at pictures of cereal" makes anything that comes afterwards sound really phony. at the very least come with an anecdote or something about the bird and such. man i was having a rough day yesterday so i went on google images and searched for pogs.
Fruit Loops.
So I have the same experience as OP. Froot growing up, Fruit, the last few years, and after seeing this, Froot again. I was just in the grocery store last week thinking (what i always think when i see it) that "Fruit" is such a missed opportunity for advertising because if it were "Froot", they can replace the Os like we all know and love.
Wonder why changes are very small. Is it because timeline barely touch from time to time? Maybe a ripple from a time traveler or CERN?
WTF…my entire life it’s been Fruit Loops. I would have noticed a misspelling like that because I was a really good speller (went to regional spelling bee, I think it was regional anyway). As a kid, I noticed “Captain Crunch” was “Cap’n” which stuck me as odd. Anyway I’m shocked to Google this now and see “Froot Loops.” It doesn’t look right. And no I’m not thinking of “Fruit by the Foot” either.
i remember seeing a video years ago about the mandela affect. it said that “froot loops” was actually “fruit loops.” i was surprised. now i just googled “fruit loops” and all im seeing are “froot loops.” i witnessed this one too, thanks for sharing
Same to me maybe 2 years ago....
OP I have the same exact Mandela effect lmao Only thing is, I only remember reading about the change to “Fruit” somewhere, I never saw the logo for it I’ve only seen it as the cereal Os for both words in the logo
Well maybe some creep at the company changed it to “Fruit Loops” without permission and they changed it back the next day.
i thought i heard they had to change it from "Fruit" to "Froot" for its lack of actual fruit
I witnessed the change back too! I also witnessed Sex and the City to Sex in the City back to Sex and the City.
I remember fruit loops
This sounds more like a glitch in the matrix than a Mandela effect. Albeit, they kinda go hand in hand
I also experienced this flip flop, albeit it's been Froot for many years now for me. But for a while i was shocked to find it was Fruit, and I thought it was such a missed opportunity if it had never been FROOT and I was just mistaken.
Other flip-flops.... "Sex And The City" to "Sex In The City" and back "The Flintstones" to "The Flinstones" and back Others I can't remember atm but I did have a personal flip flop experience at least a thousand other people saw which was... "Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band" to "Bruce Springstein and the E Street Band" and back. That one I researched heavily the moment I caught it. Stayed up almost all night....the next day it flopped back. Like it never happened. Also, in case it matters... the next day when it was back to normal, there was alot about a supposed cover Band that spelled it wrong. Seemed like a cover story was being made. Not saying it did but wow.
