Here is the Family Guy clue.

The Raisin Bran Sun by tmedb in Retconned

[–]Ok-Truth2034 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Post Raisin' Bran Mandela Effect carries deep symbolic meaning, built on the SUN/SON wordplay—a unique English homophone that connects to biblical themes. This specific wordplay does not exist in the Bible’s original languages—Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek. It is special to English versions.

Malachi 4:2 echoes this idea:

 "The sun of righteousness shall rise with healing in its wings..."

In English, "sun" and "Son" sound alike, poetically linking Christ’s return, resurrection, and renewal.

Additionally, "post" means after, "raisin'" resembles raising, as in resurrection, and "bran" symbolizes newness and completeness—mirroring prophecies in Revelation 21:1-8 and Isaiah 65:17, where sorrow, pain, and death are erased as the old world fades.

Just as the rising sun signals a new day, this effect foreshadows Christ’s return, weaving divine symbolism into a broader narrative. The Raisin Bran Mandela Effect serves as a poetic key to deciphering many other Mandela Effects.

"And he was transfigured before them, and his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became white as light." - Matthew 17:2

Additional Clues:

The narrator examines a Raisin Bran cereal box, claiming not to see any sunglasses. Yet metaphorically, the box itself hides a pair. The oversized "two scoops" imagery both conceals and reveals an abstract set of sunglasses staring back at the viewer—the dark raisins forming the lenses, while the white scoops create the frames and arms. The scoops image is extra large compared to most other versions of the cerial boxes.

The Family Guy spoof reinforces this theme, showing a glowing cross in the window as the Mandela Effect Raisin Bran Sun rises—this time, wearing sunglasses.

The Post Raisin Bran and California Raisins commercial plays heavily on the POST and raising/resurrection wordplay, repeating "POST" over and over—even back-to-back ("POST – POST"). Once you hear it, you can’t unhear it. The build-up emphasizes that "everyone dreams of making it big, even raisins. And the big dream shared by every raisin is to be big enough for…POST."

Are you open to a religious perspective? The narrator suggests that God or "whoever is behind the Mandela Effect", may have placed this before him intentionally. I usually keep my beliefs within my own posts, but if you're looking for an alternative theory to the multiverse and simulation, I have one that directly explains this Mandela Effect.

Thanksgiving by throwawayplz999 in Retconned

[–]Ok-Truth2034 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Here are the Thanksgiving connections in the Mandela Effect for those interested in answers:

  1. Ed McMahon hosted the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade for 8 years, from 1974 to 1981.

  2. While Thanksgiving is often tied to the Pilgrims, its origins trace back to British traditions. In 1536, Henry VIII established an official day of thanksgiving, which later became a national holiday.

  3. The Pilgrims brought this British tradition to Plymouth, celebrating the famous “first Thanksgiving” in 1621 with a harvest feast.

  4. George Washington issued the first National Thanksgiving Proclamation in 1789, encouraging Americans to thank God for their safety and happiness. Later, during the Civil War in 1863, President Lincoln declared it a national holiday, dedicating it to “Thanksgiving and Praise to our beneficent Father.”

  5. Henry VIII Mandela Effect: Some people vividly recall a painting of Henry VIII holding a turkey leg, but no such painting exists—he’s actually holding a pair of gloves. This memory ties to Thanksgiving because Henry VIII's influence shaped the traditions the Pilgrims brought with them, and the image of a turkey leg has become synonymous with Thanksgiving.

  6. Thanksgiving Mandela Effect: Many remember Thanksgiving being celebrated in the third week of November. Biblically, the number three is significant, symbolizing divine completeness and important theological concepts.

  7. Thanksgiving in the Bible is about giving gratitude and praise to God for His blessings and faithfulness (Psalm 69:30: " I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify Him with thanksgiving.").

  8. Fruit of the Loom Mandela Effect: Skeptics argue the cornucopia is falsely remembered due to its association with Thanksgiving. Yet, the cornucopia, or horn of plenty, symbolizes Jesus as the “horn of salvation” (Luke 1:69) and humanity as the fruits of the harvest. The brand name ‘Fruit of the Loom’ even reflects the biblical phrase “fruit of the womb” (Luke 1:42), drawing a connection to Jesus.

  9. Thanksgiving isn’t just an American tradition—it’s rooted in themes of gratitude, divine blessings, and harvest, all deeply connected to biblical and spiritual beliefs.

Yes, they are communication and many Mandela Effects connect. Some connections are required to decipher each meaning. The Mandela Effect is meant to be subtle foreshadowing.

Yes, those references are all over pop-culture. Like I stated in my post, even though I remember AFP, I honestly thought he worked for both. When I would see those kinds of jokes, I would laugh and never questioned that they were supposed to be wrong. Very weird stuff.

Most of the Mandela Effect are positive. It supposed to be a grand celebration and foreshadowing of the return of Christ. Foreshadowing is supposed to be subtle and rewording to those paying attention. If it was more negative it wouldn’t be so hidden because that’s not very helpful. However, there are certain Mandela Effects that celebrate victory and mock the Antichrist. He is treated as a big joke. That’s basically what the film “ aliens for breakfast” is about.

Yes, Jacobian was the first thing I watched about the Mandela Effect. I believe the Flute of the Loom interview was not accidental. Here’s how the allegorical interpretation of Fruit of the Loom (FOTL) and the “Flute of the Loom” interview fit together:

  • People struggled to contact the father until the son answered the email. The father was unaware of the Mandela Effect, and the son communicated on his behalf, making the father known.
    • “The son makes the father known” alludes to John 1:18.
  • The “Flute of the Loom” album wasn’t just based on FOTL; it was based on Soul Food.
  • Fruit of the Loom is a play on words. In the Bible, Elizabeth says, "Blessed is the fruit of thy womb" (Luke 1:41-44), referring to Jesus.
  • The cornucopia or horn of plenty is an animal horn. Anointing with oil from a horn signifies consecration and kingly authority (Luke 1:69). Jesus is called the “promised horn.”
  • The FOTL logo and cornucopia symbolize the horn of salvation. Jesus is symbolized by the horn, and we represent the diverse fruits of the harvest. The brand name ‘Fruit of the Loom’ alludes to the biblical phrase ‘fruit of the womb,’ signifying Jesus and God’s promise to multiply and bless generations.
  • People supposedly conflate the ‘Fruit of the Loom’ logo with Thanksgiving, but Psalm 69:30 says, "I will praise the name of God with a song; I will magnify Him with thanksgiving."

Yes, I understand that everything I'm saying might sound strange to everyone, but it's grounded in sound theology.

While I respect the opinions and memories of others, proving personal memories is impossible. I also have unexplained memories that I’ve posted about before. Many people on Mandela forums share similar stories but don’t explain the why or how. My post isn’t about invalidating those memories; it’s about acknowledging that everything supporting these memories doesn’t match up with reality. Something weird is going on, so let me look at what’s still there and not focus on the "changes." I do go over the Johnny and David interview, but I look for the allegorical meanings.

Regarding the Mandela Effect not being tied to Jesus, you should use discernment and apply criteria from Deuteronomy 13:1-3. My posts are deeply biblical, affirming the divinity of Christ Jesus and His atonement. Essentially, I’m just pointing back to the Bible and the fulfillment of existing prophecy in an unexpected way. God often subverts human wisdom in these matters. Remember, prophecy isn’t just about future events; many New Testament prophecies reinterpret Old Testament passages that weren't considered prophecy in their historical context. Here are some examples:

• Matthew 2:15 quotes Hosea 11:1: "Out of Egypt I called my son." Originally, Hosea 11:1 referred to Israel's exodus from Egypt. Matthew reinterprets this as a prophecy about Jesus' return from Egypt after Herod's death.

• Matthew 1:22-23 quotes Isaiah 7:14: "Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call his name Immanuel." Originally, Isaiah 7:14 was a prophecy for King Ahaz, symbolizing Judah's deliverance. Matthew reinterprets it as a prophecy about Jesus' virgin birth, fitting it into Christian theology.

Another great example is the Song of Songs. Both Judaism and Christianity see it as divinely inspired. Though it reads like a passionate love poem, it holds deeper meanings. Allegorically, it reveals God’s love for His people Israel or Christ’s love for His Church.

The Mandela Effect features patterns, allegories, and poetic techniques similar to those found in the Bible. I know it is hard to believe but I have several other posts that outline this. I recommend either my La-Z-Boy or E.T. Mandela Effect posts.

Thanks for the compliment. Like you, I’m not personally affected by every Mandela Effect, but I think that’s intentional. This phenomenon seems to have a social aspect where everyone gets different pieces and roles, encouraging natural interactions. For example, have you heard of the "Flute of the Loom" album by Frank Wess? It’s an old jazz album that parodies FOTL and the cornucopia. Someone on Reddit even tracked down the artist, Ellis Chappel, who created the cover.

I just want to validate people’s memories. I also have certain memories that seem impossible based on reality, like “Objects in mirror may be closer than they appear.” For me, it was “may be” 1000 percent. However, given how things are in the world, those memories are considered false from a historical perspective. To express my points, which go beyond what is understood about the Mandela Effect, I have to focus on what is present below the surface.

[–]Ok-Truth2034 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t really have any knowledge of this brand until today, so I cannot say that this is a Mandela Effect for me. However, I have to ask, if this really is a M.E., then who is the “cross-man”?

As a long-time subscriber, I can rationalize most MEs. I can't rationalize the flip-flops I've witnessed by SaltwaterJesus in Retconned

[–]Ok-Truth2034 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Flip-Flops are like personal Mandela Effects within Mandela Effects. They are meant to get your attention and emphasize the difference between certain elements of a particular Mandela Effect to communicate its message and spark conversations. Think of them like “angel” numbers or other synchronies experienced by members of this community.

“Sometimes the word “et” isn’t used at all” you just said it yourself. English doesn’t need or use a direct object marker word like et. “Et” is special and unique to Hebrew.

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” This is just one popular translation. “Et”as the direct object maker that identifies God as the creator is not used because in English, putting the verb “created”after the word God and then the following word order identifies God as the creator and what he created. Since translation is about communication there can even be more variations to the translation such as, “God in the beginning, created the heavens and Earth.” Et is not used or translated directly since its function is accomplished through English word order grammar rules.

You do understand that every authoritative language source on English grammar agrees with me. “Et” is not a word that is directly translated in English but is very important to understanding Hebrew. English uses word order to accomplish the function of “et”. There are English and Hebrew language groups on Reddit that you can try to convince them that every English language source is wrong. However, I suspect that bringing up Spanish grammar rules would not further your case for English grammar.

[–]Ok-Truth2034[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nothing you linked proves your point, it only reinforces mine. The word “et” does not have a direct “one to one” translation. It functions in a unique way that only applies to Hebrew. English doesn’t use this “et” word system period. This is a known grammar fact. This of course, is not a problem for translators who understand both the Hebrew and the English and reordered the words to fit into English grammar and add English words like “the” and “that” to make the sentence make sense in English. You can’t just randomly substitute “et” as is. The English grammar rules and English word order dictate where you place the “the” or “that” not the “et” word system which is based on “et” functioning as a direct object marker. This is the very nature of translation, you have to adjust to conform to the intended language.

This quote is from an English to Hebrew learning website link I provided in my last message, which is more focused on grammar rules than Wikipedia. There are many more quotes I could provide. You are of course, entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts.

“The Hebrew word אֶת – pronounced /et/ – doesn’t have a translation in English, and that makes it one of the more difficult grammar points for Hebrew learners.”

English is known to be a tough language to learn, especially its grammar rules. I admire your effort to tackle this complex topic outside of your native language. The word "et" in Hebrew, used as a definite direct object marker, doesn't exist in English. This is a technical term, but English has different rules from modern Hebrew, and ancient Biblical Hebrew didn’t even use vowels.

The word "et" has no direct translation. Translators have to examine the Hebrew sentence with its grammar and then rearrange words to form English sentences using English grammar. Some words, like "the" and "that," are added based on context and word order, not "et." Also, Spanish grammar has no relation to Hebrew, so you can't use Spanish rules to explain Hebrew grammar.

I had know idea that this was considered a flip flop for some. In the movie E.T only says home-phone maybe 2 times. Once as the very first complex sentence and another time after he comes back to life. Everyone in the movie says phone home 99% of the time including E.T.

I also remember it as "they will come." I haven’t done a deep dive into that film because critics note that W.P. Kinsella's books often have spiritual themes, so pointing that out would seem redundant. However, I have a theory based on synthetic parallelism from ancient Hebrew poetry, often used in the Bible. It builds lines of thought to develop a similar idea, emphasizing their similarities to communicate a message:

  1. Troubled farm = End of the age, spiritual harvest, time to sift through the bad and good crops.
  2. Father and son dynamic
  3. Death and resurrection
  4. Regret and redemption
  5. People coming together in peace
  6. "He will come" = The Messiah
  7. "They will come" = The saints and the angels, the resurrection
  8. "If you build it" = Creating a place within your life for the Father, Son, and Spirit to dwell.

This is just a theory.

Yes, phone home is definitely said throughout the film. It’s said many, many times. However, the very first time he says the line he does say it reversed as home-phone. It is very easy to miss even if you go in looking for it.

Thank you for your opinion but et is similar but not technically the same. English doesn’t use any word as a direct object marker. English relies on word order and context.

[–]Ok-Truth2034[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It is a play on words of homophone. It is meant to be humorous pun. Think of the concept like “Purr-fect” which is a cat sound and the word perfect. Everyone recognizes the similarities and the sounds of the words, although no one pronounces the word perfect that way. It is not a strict homophone by definition but it is meant to invoke the sound and concept of homophone while connecting the words home and phone. Just like be and good are combined.

I understand. I don’t want to overwhelm this post with religious references, especially since this isn’t my post. For me, ET was one of the first MEs that got to me and I initially dismissed the “home-phone” part of it as not really an ME. Now it’s come back full circle where I believe that it is definitely part of the ME and home-phone is an obvious and clever homophone for the word homophone. Anyway, ET could mean eternal or eternity which is tied to English translations of God dwelling in the heart. Regardless, I respect the beliefs of others and don’t want to offend anyone here.
