It seems to me 'Griswald' makes more phonetic sense to spell it that way considering the pronunciation, therefore its not hard to imagine most people would see it as such in their head.

My wife and I are huge fans of the National Lampoon Vacation series - we own them all and have watched them countless times..We quote the Griswalds all the time, play Holiday Road at the start of every road trip, etc.. Needless to say we're very familiar with the films.
Hold on to your hats..
The Griswalds never existed - they have always been the Griswolds.
(Link to full size image above to see the Griswold text better.)
There's lots of residue.. way to much to post here.
A pattern with the Mandela Effect is to change text, but not titles and bylines..
..and that's where this proof comes in - from the movie itself:Furthermore, the credits list each individual actor as a Griswald.
Consider a minimum of 20 people on set - surely someone would of noticed the "misspelling" throughout countless takes..
What about the set designers? They had to build the letter "A" (can't be a typo)..
What about the continuity workers during production and editing - that's a pretty glaring 'mistake'.
All those people... and no one noticed?
Here's a video showing the Griswald proof (starts at 15 seconds in - note caption also says Griswald).Also, we remember the show as just "Pig In A Poke", now it's "A Pig In A Poke".
It's the only film in the series that "mistakes" their name as the Griswalds.
It only happens on the Pig In A Poke set and the rolling credits for that film.
There's no explanation I could find to explain why.
The back of the DVD lists them as the Griswolds - all other associated text lists them as the Griswolds.
You can explain it away if it makes you more comfortable - but to us it's a proof of supreme quality.
Everywhere you look, they've always been the Griswolds..
But is this the first time you've seen the Griswold spelling associated with the Vacation films?

- Why don't you address the cause of the Mandela Effect? Because I don't know the cause. To say I did would be dishonest. If pressed, my best guess would be it's supernatural (God), based on multiple Biblical key-points - but these threads aren't about a cause, they're about the change noted in the OP.
- Only small things I don't care about are affected.. The Bible is not a small thing. South America is not a small thing, etc.. A change to reality in any way is not a small thing.
- Reality can't change! Extra dimensions / multiple universes don't exist! Double-Slit, Superposition and Quantum Computing disagree. You'll want to direct your debate towards science, not me.
- You don't have any proof! The SkunkWorks forum doesn't require proof - though the knowledge and testimony of a large portion of the population shouldn't be discounted in my opinion. There could be a good reason (beyond memory, mnemonics and typos) as to why so many people remember an instance the exact same way.
- Why won't you admit memory is fallible? I've said memory is fallible many times. In fact, I just said it again.. but we aren't talking about fleeting things, We're talking about saturated things - things we see, hear, use or do frequently in our lives. That repetition becomes knowledge.
- You refuse to admit you're wrong! I point out the current state of reality as it applies to the change in the OP in every OP, and have never disagreed that the current state is the current state.
Honestly, I don't know and wouldn't mind someone explaining it. You're saying I'm laying down sort of 'notes to myself' in the present that somehow change the past? If so - can I stop? What kind of control do I have?
Several people have stated they feel something's off - I do too. ..Just wanted to note that.
You've mentioned the Bible a few times as evidence, and I'm sure you're referencing the lion/wolf or the trespasses examples - which have been proven to be translation alterations 400-500 years ago because there are older Bibles with the alternative wording from that era - yet you are ignoring these explanations why?

I am typing the word color as it is spelt in English with a u. But I have a feeling it will vanish after I hit the reply button because ATS is an American site and I predict the Mandella Effect will compensate for it.
This post will be undeniable proof of the effect should this occur and not that I am semi-drunk and incorrectly typed the word intentionally or unintentionally.
