Despite me being born in 2000. I could've sworn I saw the infamous Wegman Dogs sketches as a kid. By my surprise they stopped making those creepy dogs-with-human-hands clips circa 1990's.

i rememember my blu ray had no usb but then i saw after 12 years the usb port
This is the type of mandela effect I love. Yes, the classics are fun but having personal experience with our electronics, games, movies, media and otherwise and thinking things were one way when they were another is hilarious.
I had Pokemon Yellow and recall reading in a magazine, website article, or strategy guide that there was a "surfing Pikachu" minigame that you could access south of Fuchsia city. I don't recall the writing mentioning any other steps needed. I was confused for so long on what was going on, because I never saw this, no matter how many times I talked to the dude in the house, or skedaddled around the shoreline. Now, I had in fact played this minigame before, but only with a relative's Gameshark. WELL it turns out that you could legit play this minigame, but only with a Pikachu that KNOWS surf, which is accessible only through an official event, or Pokemon Stadium. Mystery solved!

I’ve been nostalgic for the Pokemon anime and one Mandela effect that got me in the past was that I thought there were a few episodes that had both Brock and Tracey. Like Ash met Tracey before Brock went to live with Professor Ivy. I guess maybe I’m thinking about Todd/Snap/whatever you want to call him when it comes to Ash hanging out with three friends. I also thought Tracey was in at least some of the Johto episodes but maybe I’m just thinking about how he had Marill.
I also have no recollection of seeing Ghost of Maiden’s Peak as a kid even though I’m sure I most have. Later when I was in high school (like 2006 or 2007) my brother and I found an old home recorded VHS of Pokémon and Digimon that we decided to watch. Ghost of Maiden’s Peak came on and I figured it was a late Indigo League or Orange Islands episode that came out after I paid super close attention to the anime. Imagine my surprise when I saw Charmader on the show.
In the song Part In The CIA, I thought what wat Al said was "We got a better dead old plan then the FBI", not "We got a better dental plan then the FBI".

Not a TV show but similar, I was listening to the PS1 102 Dalmations OST and I have ZERO recollection of the level in the "spooky forest." like no kidding. I remembered EVERY other level and even multiple minigame levels but not that level. Yes, I even remembered the dang woodmill level. But not the forest one. And I beat the game, so there's no way I could have NOT played the level. WTHeck?
Extremely weird thing happened to me recently. Not sure if a Mandela effect but here goes: Last Wednesday, I got a HUGE heap of food at a Japanese restaurant, and I ate about half of it. I took the rest home and stored it in my fridge in the original box and bag. By Friday afternoon, I had eaten most the rest of the food, and threw the rest away. I took my trash out that night. Today, I got home from work and checked my fridge and found a leftover box of that same Japanese food WITH basically a full meal inside. Checked the date on it, it was from last Wednesday. ... WHAT IS HAPPENING Especially since I had a similar mixup with some soy sauce at work, where I forgot to bring home my soy sauce, but then when I checked my frige later in the day, the soy sauce had "reppeared" in my fridge.

Oh man, I’ve definitely had a few of those moments! One that really sticks out is when I could’ve sworn that the Berenstain Bears were spelled “Berenstein” with an “e” and not an “a.” I remember reading those books as a kid and being so sure about it.Another weird one is that I thought the Monopoly man had a monocle, but apparently, he never did? It’s crazy how your memory can play tricks on you like that. It's like your brain just decides to rewrite history on its own! Have you had any of those moments where you’re 100% convinced something was one way, only to find out it never was. I think we all live in the matrix.

Ooooohhhh, I have 2 similar experience: The 1st was when the Rice Krispie elves invaded the house with some wide as heck krisp. It was so bizarre seeing what looked to be a MEGA SIZED Rice Krispie treat. Now-in-days I headcanon that the Rice Krispie elves are a mafia group who make their treats as a gateway to becoming criminals & that their treats are actually drugs. The 2nd was when a plush of Sonic the Hedgehog appeared in my room right after I came back from school a few months ago. I don't know where it came from, I didn't feel like asking my dad where he got it because he probably wouldn't have remembered. Ok, maybe it was from a local mall from around where I live, but it's just in my room now. I'm a Sonic fan though, so at least there's that.
Dreams are boundless, imaginations are infinite, space is a multi-directional spiral & Akazukin ChaCha is my favorite anime

The one that I can think of right now is about a TV special called "Living with Dinosaurs" The Lost Media Wiki forums helped me to identify it after more than 25 years of seeing it.
When I saw it for the first time, I remembered the main green dinosaur puppet as being a light purple dragon instead.
I know of another personal Mandela effect, but it's rather NSFL so I will not post it.
A furry with eclectic tastes who loves the 80s and 90s. Mostly 1984-1992.
Saw a tribute post on Instagram and was surprised to learn that Dom Deluise (a comedian, and also known for his voice work) had been dead for a over a decade. Why the heck did I think he was still alive, or at least had died much, much more recently than he actually had?

There was this 2019 Commander Keen reboot that was set to be made & I remember seeing it as an ad once & never again(said reboot, a planned mobile exclusive game, got canned after immense negative reception). I remembered it having terrible animation, as in on the levels of Pixel Pinkie or My Little Pony:NewbornCuties. Looking it up & watching it again, the animation is not that bad. Even still, it feels so generic & un-Keen in so many ways(heck, perhaps even literally as this game was seemingly gonna be a 2-player co-op run 'n' gun starring Keen's 2 children), like I haven't played a Commander Keen game outside of that terrible GBC game & even I can tell this was not a good way to try reviving the franchise. But just imagine if the trailer did indeed have animation that was on the same levels of awful as the 2 shows I mentioned. Just how much worse could its reception get with such atrocious animation?:

Do you have older siblings? Maybe you watched a recording of a Sesame Street episode from an era when they still showed these segments.
Anyway, mine is one that nobody really talks about a lot. In the book Green Eggs and Ham, there's a line that goes "Would you like them in a house? Would you like them with a mouse?". I remembered it as "Would you eat them in a house? Would you eat them with a mouse?". And apparently a lot of other people do too, as if you Google "Would you eat them in a house?", there's a lot of references to this.
And then there's Carol Burnett's death. In 2014 or 2015 (can't remember), I went to Lancaster, PA at the same time a theater there hosted a Carol Burnett show. When coming home from a buffet that night, there was a very long line of cars getting out of that theater. The next year, in early 2016, I overheard my mom talking to my grandma on the phone about how she died and they mentioned what she worked on and the incident at the theater. I then realized that when I was in college, she was still alive!
