Nelson Mandela effect thread!

That is wrong, but how 99% of people answer.

I also don't require the question, just the part before the comma.

You are right. I just went to good old Google and looked up,"Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" The answer is actually,"Magic mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" :) Nelson Mandela effect in effect. ;)

this is a case of being able to google something and get the wrong answer if you aren't careful, which happened to me, I just tested it again. I thought the Wizard was being a stickler about 'fairest of them' as some would say "the most beautiful of them"

There were a lot of wrong answers in the Googlesphere…

Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them all?" Is the right answer(question) to the Snow White question. :)

You missed it by one word.. the first word.

You still have it wrong, the question is actually "who is the fairest one of all"

There are a number of misquotes that have become more famous than to the original.
For instance "to gild the lily" instead of "to paint the lily" and "to the manor born" instead of "to the manner born".

Sometimes the word order is varied from the original
"Methinks the lady doth protest too much" instead of "The lady doth protest too much, methinks."
"Discretion is the better part of valour" instead of "The better part of valour is discretion."

"Play it again Sam" is remembered
Actually was more like this from my memory
"Play it. If you can play it for her you can play it for me. Play it"

In Only Angels Have Wings Cary Grants former girl friend is called Judy (played by Rita Hayworth) and Cary has lines like "Hello, Judy. Come on, Judy. Now, Judy." But he never said "Judy, Judy, Judy." '

The line is often attributed to Larry Storch of F-Troop fame. Cary Grant was very obliging about saying the line to every woman named Judy who asked him to repeat it.


Movie stars are often repeatedly asked to do the same thing over and over. Paul Newman says a man interrupted him mid-stream at the utinal with an autograph request. He never signed an autograph again for the rest of his life.

Snow White was produced in plays, movies with real actors, and used in skits like on the Carol Burnett Show. So, I can imagine any meme over a few words getting mangled.

I wouldn't be surprised if some people think she's an original Disney character.
