The second tape has home-made stickers on it.

At least one of those tapes has been taped over with porn

I hate that I am fascinated by this... and hoping for definitive proof of a mutiverse. Thanks for the link?

She inherited them after Mandela died in prison.
OriginalAndWitty
And here I am always thinking it was 'Bern'stein, not Berenstein...or Berenstain.
antholettv
That they were bears was the intention of the name i think. If they were fire, bern would’ve worked
CrimeThinker
I had it as Berenstein from childhood but was pretty sure the Mandela effect meme had recently 'taught' me that it was 'actually' Bernstein.
CrimeThinker
Wait actually wasn't it supposed to be "BEARnstein" like for a pun?
OKSasquatch
The *stain labels are smaller, look newer. Obviously the operative tasked with switching them was interrupted and had to bug out mid job.
nemocares
So that's what Mr Buttle's job was...

pretty bold of you to let them physically touch when that might've ended all time and space in an explosion

I would always recommend not watching old VHS tapes found in your parent's or grandparent's houses. It's not worth the risk.

Heathens, why would you not rewind it?

You MIL is cross dimensional !

LOL!
darkwingduckInaMiniSkirt
Why are people talking about dimensions here?and what's an MIL?
YourWeaponsAreUselessAgainstMyCodpiece
MIL is mother in law. Dimensions is because many of us remember the books being spelled Berenstain, but now they are Berenstein 1/2
YourWeaponsAreUselessAgainstMyCodpiece
Did we previously inhabit an alternate dimension, where books were Berenstain, and life was better? The debate rages on...
ShennanigansAplenty
I read it as “Save the beer”
Rapt0rman
The authors were literally named the Berenstains, The husband, as a child, already had a teacher insist his name was wrong.

Link is too long to post, but there's a National Post interview with their son.

It 100% wasn't interview with A vampire, source: I still have my cinema ticket from 1995..

Is the original finder safe? We need to get them to a VCR to confirm before the cleaners show up.
GooseIsHere
Maybe because I am dumb or just not from USA. But can someone please provide some context?
ConspiratorM
I'd love to figure this out too, and not from some dumb conspiracy type jokes. Could someone just give a straightforward answer?
ShinksAvoHazaar
Too long to type here. Google or YouTube The Mandela Effect.

Careful, the GOP and Gaetz will have these banned.

ThatsFair
Funny, but the main labels are both spelled with Stain and one is obviously a new sticker. Side label on the fake also has missing detail
hellododger
I thought the story was that they had to change their name due to antisemetic blowback.
kingoftheamericasI
Same...!!
jrntn
That's just a story. They were always called Berenstain. People are just bad at acknowledging that their memories degrade over time.
DoktorWeasel
Memory is notoriously fallible, but people just can't believe that their memory is wrong. So latch on to crazy conspiracy theories instead.
The1Ballthrow
Who forgot to rewind one?!?
eadanke
They didn't forget! It just didn't get rewinded in this time line.

Always Berenstain except once on the side label on one of them.
Psionickitten
This actually makes sense. We probably saw the misspelled ones and remembered those.
DianNaoChong
Or they printed two labels.
theplagiarist
no i think nelson mandela hypnotized you. im pretty sure
ZebraCockSandwich
we had the 'stein books. mom might still have em somewhere. I showed my mom the 'stain ones a while back and she joined the web in "wtf"
MaraHyena
Both existed. Earlier ones were printed with the error.
chbarts
That, and human brains re-write memories more eagerly than the CCP covering up atrocities.
Psionickitten
I specifically remember "No, I am your father," but often when kids my age would bring it up, to add context when talking to each other...
Psionickitten
... they would say "Luke, I am your father." They spoke with each other more than watched the movie so they started remembering that...
Psionickitten
...quote instead. It wasn't ever that it was "Luke, I am your father." It was that the conversations were repeated more and generated a...
Psionickitten
... stronger memory.
Targe0
It's also likely those are pirated copies sold with a labelling error. Then second hand market spread them around.
RabeMeansRaven
The label is smaller too.
Forosnai
1/ The spine of one of them is spelled "-stein" and every other instance on the same VHS is "-stain". It's a mistake, not a multiverse. The
Forosnai
2/ "-stein" spelling is just misremembered because we hear so many OTHER names ending in "-stein", your brain just wrongly autocorrects it.
LariCheltsy
Multiverse confirmed
MRDOne
Yes, see the spelling of the bears. The timeline has indeed been changed.
Ryanator50
next time I hope someone brings something interesting from another Universe. Like Hitler's Cellphone.
Donfolstar
More importantly, that the -stain and -stein universes merged at some point. Now to figure out why.

Found you
niooes
My mom always said their name was stupid because -stein was a common Jewish name, so she never called them -stain. Wonder if other parents
niooes
-may have thought similarly.
eadanke
I assume it's mostly a word guessing problem. When people struggle with reading, they guess the end of long words rather than reading them.
niooes
True! I think that makes the theory so much more entertaining. Instead of assuming that we made a mistake, it’s a whole conspiracy lmao
DoktorWeasel
People get weird about acknowledging the faults in their own memories. I saw one guy insisting that the Bible was rewritten since he was a
DoktorWeasel
kid, because verses are different than what he remembered. And he's got a perfect memory, so obviously it's not *his* problem. It's nuts.
boringpigeon
If I learned anything from my dad, these could be a coverup for porn.
toypaj
That’s a different kind of stain
PiercedViking
Shit, that brings back some memories. Nothing like finding a random VHS tape with no label on it when you're snooping as a kid.
idontlikepickingusername
My sister used one for a video presentation in high school, the school VCR could rewind a little further than the one at home...
DocNitro
Or worse, selfmade porn tapes.

I was told to label personal sex tapes “Matlock Season 5” so the kids toss them after you die.

But it's Matlock, you can't do that to Matlock. /s
