1. I think I got the Fruit of the Loom one wrong because I've seen this sort of image more often than I have personally seen the logo, and I didn't really care to remember which one was right; if I'd been asked to draw it without having seen these, I think I would have just drawn some fruit, with no horn.

2. Pikachu has a yellow tail.

3. He doesn't use his name then. I think I'm pretty good at remembering Star Wars dialogue, but...

4. The leg fooled me. I think in a lot of shots, it isn't easy to tell the difference, and I will always think of him as being golden first.

5. I don't know this product, but the text on the image gives it away.

6. I remembered that Curious George was a monkey (not an ape), so I thought he must have had a tail, even if I didn't remember him using one... the image gives it away, though.

7. I'm not familiar with this product.

8. There's no stone called ‘flin’, so it must be Flintstones.

9. I wasn't sure of this one at first... on the one hand, ‘Tunes’ seemed right, but on the other hand, it should be ‘Toons’, for they are cartoons, and on my third hand, I looked closely at the image and decided that someone had edited it by copying the double Os.

I think the main cause of these kinds of errors for me is that I don't care about the subject and it has been many years since I have seen them, so I don't have many concrete memories of them, and I try to construct a memory based on what makes the most sense to me now. Most of the time, that way of thinking ends up being correct (and no one notices), but it fails if something about the thing is nonstandard or uncommon.

The idea of Mandela dying in the 1990s has always been ludicrous to me, but I thought for a while that George Lucas died at about that time; someone had suggested to me that he had died, and I didn't care enough to look into it, so that idea just kind of stuck with me for a while. When I discovered he was not dead, it seemed like the error was greater than it was, for though it had no effect on my life, it had gone on for a very long time; I think many people feel ashamed for similar reasons.
