You came up with the idea that people might believe the thoughts in their heads over reality?
That's called "psychosis".
You're suggesting a huge mass of well educated working people suffer from the exact same delusion.
I hope you understand that's not possible in the realm of mental disorders (short of mass-drugging or brainwashing).
What I'm curious about is your 'frustration'..
I'm assuming your saying your educated in mental disorders. Do you understand being frustrated at topic you're studying, or the people you're training to serve is - well.. doesn't that fall under "borderline personality disorder"?
I'm so curious about that frustration.. When folks mention the ME, some people (about 1/2) get wildly angry.
I want to know why. If you want to explain it more, I'll listen.
Edit to add: I'm getting ready to hit the sack, so if you reply I may not see it till tomorrow.

You can't prove or disprove ME from looking up hard copies because reality has changed (including old hard copies of products.) What one can find though, as has been frequented shared in ME threads in recent years, is various contradictory records: videos, audio, images and articles which mention the old reality. NASA mentions Haley's Comet, Amazon listings for "Berenstein Bears" books, etc. It seems that for those of us who are not programmed with the new reality our whole history remains the same. IOW, if you remember "Berenstein Bears" and made a video about them as a kid, chances are the video still has you saying "Berenstein." If the video also features someone of "Berenstain" reality then they will say "Berenstain" in the video, even if you remember them always saying "Berenstein."
An example of this would be the movie "Gandhi," in which Gandhi's name is pronounced both "Ghan-di" and "Gandy" by different actors. ME experiencers remember the name Gandhi spelled and pronounced differently. If this is a true ME (which I personally can't verify) then theoretically a movie like "Gandhi" would indeed contain contradictory wordings/pronunciations by different people.
Well, if my second conspiracy theory idea is true, then the ME only changes things online for the most part. Therefore there could still exist some hard evidence that the facts have been changed over time in the form of some record found in your personal collection or in some library or archival material.
Now if you except the idea that reality did indeed change, then obviously everyone's memory would have changed along with it nullifying the effect. That is unless reality didn't change, but some people shifted from one reality to another. If that is what is happening, then the change is with the person having the ME and not reality as it is experienced by everyone else.
But like I stated, it is most likely an artifact of the human memory process. Although I still find the idea of a shifting reality fascinating, IMO faulty memory to blame for the Mandela Effect.

Lol No, your ego won't let you except that I am a flawed human being who knows it but has the confidence in what I do know. I must be vilified as some kind of narcissistic know-it-all who thinks his memory is infallible. Uh huh...
Night Star, are you around? Do I always say my memory is perfect?
'Reality' is the only word in language that should always be used in quotes.

What you may be remembering is the commercials for their TV dinners which included a line about their stuffing.
See Product Here
I really thought there was Stouffer's Stovetop Stuffing as well, but, now I look at their product and logo, I don't remember them making more than frozen foods... and it would make no sense to make all frozen entrees and then randomly Thanksgiving Stuffing.

Haha, that's clearly it!

I try to pay alot of this subject no mind, but I do recall it being stouffers stovetop stuffing.
And there's this.
The host did not correct the guest and the crowd understood the joke so it appears everyone in that crowd also heard of Stouffers Stovetop or else someone would have corrected him.
Nice find.
Notice how no one yelled "It's KRAFT!"?
As far as why people THINK it was Stouffers? Bread crumbs. They made bread crumbs that people used to make tailored stuffing. My paternal grandmother was real big on those, though I always thought they sucked. Ergo, semi-homemade stuffing made with Stouffer's crumbs got crossed with Stove Top and an urban legend was born.
Googling Stouffer's Stove Top Stuffing solves nothing, its been established it never existed here, which is the discrepancy between this timeline and collective memory, and why this thread has been made in the first place.

Definitely remember this one. I think it's very telling we all specifically remember it being stouffers brand, instead of everyone remembering different brands such as campbells in one post, and betty crocker in another.
Something has influenced us to collectively remember it as stouffers, and whether the cause of that is completely mundane (such as it being called that in a movie, or some such), or something bordering on science fiction is a mystery.
