None of those strike me like this Berenstein issue does.

I agree
but i have vivid memories of most listed and wanted to see if people here had different ones than me
Edit: I didnt provide my recollections on any of them in order to avoid bias. Just copy and pasted.

I walk the streets like, ''say something, n!gga!''
I'd argue that most of the people consuming such literature 2-3 decades ago were children with little understanding of the nuance of language. Align that with lazy teachers and parents who never bothered to pronounce the name properly, and thus we created a sort of false collective memory. . .

I thought we talked about this before
it was clearly E. not even a debate. anyone who thinks it was A the whole time is an alien
I always remembered the "A", specifically. :cpagehubie:
I remember going to the library as a kid and seeing Berenstain Bears books; I remember thinking "That's a weird way to spell that..." :bppatrice:
Here's my theory:
-The "Berenstain/Berenstein controversy has nothing to do with parallel universes. It has everything to do with how much human memory sucks.
-Memories can be susceptible to subtle manipulation. It may be harder to alter more concrete details, but it's possible to convince someone of a false memory.
(Example: you have clear memories of going to the beach as a kid and eating ice cream on the boardwalk...but was it ice cream or gelato? Didn't it taste different from normal ice cream to you? Remember the "first" time you had gelato as an adult...didn't you remember that time on the beach almost immediately?:bppatrice: )
-Names that are similar to Berenstain--mostly European Jewish names--usually end with the spelling of "-stein" (Epstein, Weinstein, Rosenstein, Einstein). I can't really think of any other name I've seen that ends in "-stain" like Berenstain. It seems like an aberration. :bpohh:

This reminds me of the idea about the comedian Sinbad starring in a 90's movie where he played a genie called "Shazaam".
