Well, the mainstream explanation is that there were regional differences. Some places were one or the other. Perhaps you moved at one point during you child hood?
There are some legitimate humdingers though.
Like the monopoly guy and his monocle. Come the fuck ON. Or fruit of the loom with the cornucopia.
I think the most likely theory is its some kinda of internet worm/virus that can rewrite information in real time. I know that sounds bizzaree, but in that movie "the core?" i think with that nerdy guy from "the new guy" the government tasks him "a hacker" with designing such a thing. This was a movie from 25 years ago. Imagine how powerful such a tool could be, and does no one remember a decade ago those strange rumors about how someone had the ability to delete photos from internet connected computers of what I think was war atrocities that israel had committed? Was that fake news?
But the star wars "luke I am not your father" and the "We are the champions, of the world." are another couple. But I chalk those up to maybe MAYBE being misremembered. But I remember hearing that song so many times on the radio, and so many skits where they all say the same thing.
Its certainly easier to believe that they are collapsing timelines lmao, things do feel funny and alot of people feel the same way.
This clip from ace ventura 2? Like your telling me this was all some mass delusion? loL?

Fuck off with your mental gymnastics snopes.
I only moved within the same town as a kid. Additionally (and this is probably going to get me yelled at), I loved Monopoly around this same time, and he did not have a monocle in my set. I was not a Fruit of the Loom guy, so I can't comment on that. In We Are The Champions, Mercury does sing "of the world" around the 1:09 mark. I'm pretty sure people just mentally/out loud add it at the end, because I only remember "of the world" continuing into "we are the champions" again, and it does seem kind of unresolved without it. I really think something similar is going on with Berenstain, because I remember people completely ignoring the "Berenstain" pronunciation even when I pointed it out and it was right in front of their faces to continue pronouncing it "Berenstein." I'm pretty damn sure that's what's going on there.
