1. The Monopoly Man’s Monocle
For decades, Rich Uncle Pennybags (or Mr. Monopoly) has been the de facto mascot for Monopoly, the Parker Brothers (now Hasbro) game that somehow made real estate exciting. Some insist Pennybags completes his top hat and business attire ensemble with a monocle, but that’s not true. He’s never worn one. People appear to be conflating his depiction with that of Mr. Peanut, the Planters mascot who sports a single corrective lens. That’s because our brain can easily take subjects with similar traits and blend them together. “In studies, when you show participants word pairs and ask them to remember ‘blackmail’ and ‘jailbird,’ half of them will later say they remember learning the word blackbird,” Brewer says.
2. Jiffy Peanut Butter
If you looked forward to your school lunch break because your parent or guardian packed a Jiffy peanut butter sandwich, your childhood may be a lie. While both Jif and Skippy brands have lined store shelves, there’s never been a “Jiffy” brand. “They may have had a false memory by incorporating elements in the reconstruction process of Jif and Skippy,” Brewer says. “Now that’s encoded in their memory, and the false memory is what they’re remembering. They don’t remember the experience of seeing it but the experience of falsely remembering.”

There must be some other great ones, but Hicks is the one that jumps out as a textbook example. What others am I missing?
Aside from the obvious that is Cat in the song title and Stevens' (former) name, he also wrote a song with a very similar theme called Father and Son.

Not sure if that’s an example of this. Possibly just grew out of the H being above the N on a keyboard.
Loved that novel. He also wrote the wayward pines novels which are great as well (mediocre TV miniseries aside).

Sounds like some fiction I could get into and I'm always looking for a new read.
Can you give a quick synopsis of "Recursion"?
(yeah, I know I can Google it but I prefer a reader's opinion and not some sales pitch from Amazon)

Nate Solder is often confused with a left tackle.
I think, for example, a ton of people are making mistakes in drawings and spreading them like wildfire. So people are gettinf confused.
Like Pikachu's tail having black detailing. I know I've seen artists who draw his tail with it... When his tail was always a solid, full yellow.
Or they're just thinking Monopoly Man had a monocle but thinking of Mr. Peanut.
Bingo - The Matrix is real

What movie are you thinking of?
The 2019? 😕 confused. I remember nothing from that game. Not one highlight. Nada.
