Mandella Effect
The Mandella Effect is the pseudoscientific belief that some differences between one's memories and the real world are caused by changes to past events in the timeline. Many Mandela effect believers believe it is caused by accidental travel between alternate universes.
There’s an unexplained phenomenon that you’ve probably experienced without knowing what it’s called, and it’s garnering more and more attention lately. "The Mandela effect" is what the internet is calling those curious instances in which many of us are certain we remember something a particular way, but it turns out we’re incorrect.
It was named after Nelson Mandela, whom some people erroneously believed to have died in prison in the 1980s, but it actually died in 2013.
Here are some examples of this effect.

Mona Lisa smile

Kit Kat does not have a dash
One of your favorite childhood treats, Kit Kat is spelled just as such. But where’s the dash? Well, there’s no dash! And there never was. Although for some reason some people really remember there being a dash in the chocolate bar’s name and have a clear image in their mind of a ‘Kit-Kat’ bar wrapper.
Hannibal Lecter never said ”Hello, Clarice”
If you have seen the film The Silence of Lambs, then there is no way you don’t know the famous line ”Hello, Clarice” But the thing is, this line was never said. When Clarice meets Hannibal Lecter for the very first time, all he says is ”Good morning” Nothing more. Pretty crazy how a well-known movie could have some famous lines that never happened. There’s no clear explanation for this, so try not to drive yourself too crazy.

JKF assassination
Can you remember exactly how people were in the car when President Kennedy was shot? Most people would answer four; Kennedy, his wife, Governor Connally and the driver. But in actual fact, there were six people. The other two being Mrs. Connally and another anonymous man. This is one the biggest examples of the Mandela Effect. How could this be? The car was definitely only a 4-seater, but if you take a look now anywhere it’s a 6-seater. How could the sniper have even aimed to well with two other people in the car? This has got to be another conspiracy…
