Mandela Effect: Kit-Kat or KitKat?

I just attempted to recreate what I could recall about the sign on the corner store I mentioned above, without googling what the current Kit-Kat logo looks like because I don't want that to obstruct the memory. Don't know how to post photos on here really so click the link and maybe if someone else knows how to do it please quote it for me so it shows the picture and not the link for people just scrolling through. Here it is though: postimg.org...

So despite the fact that you've found absolutely no evidence of there ever being a dash, you still come to the conclusion that your memory is 100% correct and there is this massive, overly complicated theory about time line shifts and the like...

I guess it's human nature to concoct a convoluted, complex theory rather than admit recall diminishes with age. It's tough for people to admit they're getting older with the frailities which come with it.

and here's a version of it if it were KitKat, looks more natural than KitKat typed out I must say. I'm on the fence right now

I fell off the fence but my pants are still attached, been looking at them (by the way sorry for the inconsistency of the dimensions I just whipped them up quick and didn't really compare before posting) and I feel like I'm more on the side of the hyphen still

It's just as if people remember the Nestle '$100,000' candy bar in their youth. Now it's the '100 Grand' bar. No Mandela Effect involved. It's a documented change.

The next overhaul came with the $100,000 name itself, likely in 1985 or 1986, when it took on the slang for one-hundred-thousand dollars, and became 100 Grand.

You may have remembered seeing the word Kit Kat in another context. Kit-Kat (with the hyphen), was used to describe mutton pies, but the candy itself never used a hyphen.

Use of the name "Kit Kat" or "Kit Cat" for a type of food goes back to the 18th century, when mutton pies known as a Kit-Katwere served at meetings of the political Kit-Cat Club in London.

You're not crazy. It was always Kit-Kat.. at least, for me and thousands of other people. This is a relatively new change for me, I feel like it happened very recently. I recommend you join one of the Mandela Effect Facebook groups (Mandela Research or Breaking Through The Mandela Effect). The changes seem to be happening more and more. People will tell you that it's a false memory, or that you're crazy... but this is one of the changes I am absolutely sure about. There was definitely a dash. Whatever is going on, it is changing things left and right.

I thought there used to be a small dash that wasn't part of a letter, but a seperate dash. I just figured they dropped it, packages change their look all the time, after all.

Has anyone discovered a "Mandela Effect" that can't be described and explained fully by faulty memories, perceptions and cognitions?

Anyone have any physical evidence that names of books/diapers/etc. have changed that's not attributable to the internet's propensity to make human mistakes (since, well, humans create internet content?)

I'm still looking forward to either.

I remember both

Wal-Mart or Walmart? That one always gets me.

I love reading about the Mandela stuff. Hopefully Jacy will pop in.

I remember the dash in both

I remember it being hyphenated. I dont know exactly when the change occurred for me, but my dad eats them and there is pretty much always his kit-kat packet in the freezer, and I'm certain the change has happened in the last couple of years.

FWIW: Yes, this is my first post here.

Pfft no.

Kids are stupid. You don't remember old memories as well. These people are just idiots, and so convinced that they have didactic memories they'll convince themselves of anything.
