And it was the BerenSTEIN Bears.
I want out of this BerenSTAIN of a timeline
I remember reading a comment on a popular article talking about the Mandela Effect--the same one James Rolfe showed off in his Berenstain Bears video.
It theorized that when Stan and Jan came over to the US from Ukraine, someone either misspelled their names in the log book, or they couldn't read the couple's handwriting, leading to the spelling change. In other words, BOTH are valid.
The guy commenting? Mike Berenstain--son of Stan and Jan.
There are two branches of my family tree-- one with the surname spelled with an 's' and another with a 'z' for similar reasons. Turns out immigrants aren't the best at anglicization of their slavic names when they don't know much English.
