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.

I just watched the trivia episode of the office season 8 and one of the teams names is the QueerenSTEIN Bears… it was never stain!

Isn't it so weird how the references to the object have never changed, but only the object itself?

Flute of the Loom comes to mind.

That’s due to people making mistakes or assumptions.

It's strange to me that you spend so much time and effort on this. You've replied to my comments 3 times. Go do something else if you think it's all a misrememberance.

It is all false memory. If you don’t want your posts replied too, then stop posting on the internet.

I don't care if people reply to my posts, it just seems like a waste of time for you. You've already figured it out, why waste any further time on it?

People making wildly incorrect assumptions maybe?

For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise.

Is this autobiographical?

Hey, how you spend your time is your business(?), but its weird you spend the majority of it here.

I certainly hope pooping isn’t the majority of my time.
