A specific detail in a famous movie scene that keeps changing

I've watched the original 'Back to the Future' at least 20 times since I was a kid. In the scene where Marty first meets Doc at the Twin Pines Mall, I could swear the number of boxes in the DeLorean's passenger seat changed. For years, I remember it being two stacked boxes. I watched it again last month and now it's clearly three boxes, with the top one having a different label. I checked my old VHS copy and my newer Blu-ray, and they're different. It's a small thing, but it feels like my memory of the scene got rewritten. Has anyone else had this happen with a movie they know really well?

Whoa, that's wild. I read a whole article about this kind of thing, they call it the Mandela Effect. A bunch of people remember things wrong in the exact same way. Like the Berenstain Bears being spelled Berenstein. Your box thing fits perfectly. Makes you question your own head.

Yeah, the Mandela Effect stuff really messes with you.

Remember the Fruit of the Loom logo? I swore it had a cornucopia, that little horn basket thing. Saw it on my own underwear as a kid. Looked it up last year and nope, just fruit piled up. My whole childhood memory of laundry day is a lie. That one got me good.
