Mandela Effect - Chester Cheetah Never Said It Aint Easy Being Cheesy

I vividly remember Chester Cheetah saying "It ain't easy bein' cheesy.." in the commercials.

It's even in the Wikipedia entry:

After Chester's introduction, the sly, smooth voiced cheetah began starring in more commercials and eventually became Cheetos' official mascot. He used the slogans "It ain't easy bein' cheesy" and "The cheese that goes crunch!" from 1986 to 1997, until it became "Dangerously cheesy!" from 1997 onward.[3]

en.wikipedia.org...


I'm not the only one - tons of other folks remember the same thing.. It's in books, images, university pages, tattoos etc.



It doesn't exist anymore..

Now he says "It's not easy being cheesy"



This isn't just folks misquoting the commercial - it's how the commercial was - but not anymore, and it never has been.

Chester Cheetah never said "It ain't easy being cheesy" despite a direct and vivid memory of the commercials (they were on every commercial break)...


Do you remember the commercials saying "It ain't easy being cheesy"?

I recall both versions.

Family Guy is the only time that's ever been said.

You are mixing it up in your head. I suspect you've never actually experienced this until you googled 'Mandela Effect', and this came up.

While I believe yes, you may believe in it, it's painfully obvious you search these out.

Ps. It appears to be a pop culture thing that arose from the commercials. While that phrase was never uttered in a commercial, it's catchy and rhymes. Not surprising people ran with it.

I kinda recall both too - but the "ain't" version doesn't exist anywhere and never has.

Who still watches commercials in the 21st century?

it would appear that many other forms of media have used there own version, have you considered this could be a copyright issue and not some other dimension melting with ours? the owners of the catchphrase may have not given permission for it to be used directly

I am always happy when i can use a family guy clip though



I can not state as you can i have a vivid memory of this phrase either way

Also when will you be leaving to go back to your timeline, with the amount of these threads you make it would appear that you have been shunted from timelines again and again and again, hope all that interdimensional travel is not bad for your health.....or memory

How could you expect four year-olds to get those old references?

It's like talking to four year olds that can't understand anything you say, but magically know how to type.

When will the mandela effect stop?

He never said aint.


He has always said it's not easy being cheesy.

there have been a couple of ME things that have made me take pause, but this is not one of them. I 100% remember "it's NOT easy being cheesy"

Both.

Commercial was always "not".

People, however, used "ain't" because it sounded correct, or fit Chester's personality with the way he talks.

This is nothing more than a simple misquote (and people who refuse to admit they are not remembering something correctly).

"It ain't over till the fat lady sings."

"It's not over till the fat lady sings."

"It's not over until the fat lady sings."

"It ain't over until the fat lady sings."

Which one is the correct quote?

Hey PearlJ,

It ain't easy
Vs
It's not easy

It's easier to say and easier to remember "It ain't".

Based purely on this fact I'll accept this as another ME.
Well done!

It doesn't exist anymore.. Now he says "It's not easy being cheesy"

you mean its changed.

yes

Like logos, they change.

yeah,

Mandela effect is probably the best explanation.


Weird All Yankovic is a specialist at Mandela effects

If you cant see the ignorance is posting something so absolute ....

When will the Mandela Effect stop? It never existed outside the heads of some people who want to believe they are "special" because they have been "Effected".

I wish these ME threads would stop. They just get sillier and sillier.

Forget the fat lady, your obsessed with the fat lady.

a reply to: Pearj

Ya know...with just about every thread you post....if the thing you're posting about didn't actually exist at all any more in any form i'd be all over this #....but remembering the 'word' ain't instead of not is not anything. Maybe if suddenly his phrase was something totally different like # yeah cheese mother #er... or maybe if they turned him into a #ing zebra or something alright alright....but no just come on....

These threads are always such a let down...I get so hopeful....

The only two of these i've ever been convinced by is the James bond movie one with the girl in the braces and jaws....because the first time I watched that movie my dad explained to me why her having braces made jaws cool with her and was literally the point to her character. That and apparently, in the draft version of that movie she was supposed to have braces but ended up not.

And the bears....I learned to read and spelll by sounding out words i've always read them as Steen in my head...there's no way I would have ever pronounced it like that if it was spelled with a ain...i'm not a #ing idiot...that and my girlfriend never seen the books at all until 2006, when she was 18, when she was working in a school library. She thought they were a family of Jewish bears because their name was berenstein....

The idea of alternate universes and such really appeals to me. But so many of these just seems like grasping at straws.

he always said 'it's not...'

substituting 'it ain't' is an easy transposition when you're relying only on your memory. it would have been a little too louche for that era, though. our hipster cheetah pitchmen can't use bad grammar, it's a bad influence on the kids!

i suggest you take a break from mandela effects and read some books on how memory works in the human brain. it's not infallible.

All I know is, I really wish that this was the first instance widely discussed instead of Mandela. The Chester cheetah effect. It ain't easy memberin' schtuff.
