    I legit still have my books from when I was a kid. Berenstien. My friend also has their books from when they were a kid. Berenstain. We argued about it off and on for like a decade before we finally settled it. We only have one book in common, a halloween one, but other than that we have no idea what happened. They were printed in different years, but why would that matter??? IDK, it is a mystery.

      I could really use a picture of both books, preferably together (but either way). It would really help me talk to my neighbor who brings up the Mandela effect at least 5x per year.

        I’ll see if I can track her down. She moved to the UK for university about 6 years ago, but I doubt she brought all her childhood stuff with her(her whole family is still in southern California). My stuff is in storage near Washington at the moment, but I should be going up there before December to nab some stuff.

        I bet the photos we took are in those boxes too xD

          You’ll be internet famous if you manage to get a photo! You might also get rich on ebay if you sell them as a pack.

          And, really, you’ll help me win my lovely neighborhood back from the same repetitive conversation, hah.

            Hahaha, I doubt anyone would want to buy my old childhood books. They’re covered in dragon ball stickers, drawn on, stained with various foods and drinks… over all I was not very respectful of my books when I was 7 xD The internet fame would be nice though! Maybe, I hear that backfires for a lot of people lol

            Well, I’m setting a calendar reminder for every day I’ll be in Washington this December to hit the storage unit on the way back. Gotta grab my old laptop and external hard drive anyway so why not!
