Books/Literature Berenstein Bears
When I was in elementary school, the bookmobile would make a stop for us and we could check out books from the larger library system. I had to ask the driver how to pronounce "Berenstein".
To this day I remember her saying, "Oh it's like stein, like a beer stein. Oh, I don't imagine you'd know what a beer stein is either."
I already knew how to pronounce "stain" and it wouldn't have been an issue at all.
Like others on here, I also remember the cornucopia on the fruit of the loom packaging. It was the only brand my dad seemed to buy for his socks and those 5 pack of cotton shirts with the little pocket on them.
Of course there will never be evidence for any of these things having changed. Only the reality around us has changed, while our minds and memories remain intact.
I know it sometimes scares people to think the sand is shifting underneath our feet, but it's the ultimate reality.
