Mandela Effect or do I remember this paper towel dispenser name incorrectly?

So we’ve all been to public restrooms or areas that have paper towel dispensers right? Well I’ve seen all kinds of brands but there’s always been a few that stick out so this took me by surprise.

I have never personally witnessed a Mandela effect before of my own and this is a very simple one. I clearly remember the name being York on paper towel dispensers, not Tork!!!!!!

This paper towel dispenser is located in a huddle house in Tazewell county Virginia. I know for a fact that I have never heard of this brand before but if I Google it, it’s everywhere with no remnants of the name York, which is what I clearly remember on these types of towel dispensers and possibly hand soap dispensers as well.

I showed the photo to a friend of mine that was with me at dinner, and he also said that he has never heard this brand before and he can only remember the names, Scott and York being used in commercial settings.

So has anyone else come across this? Have I discovered a small Mandela effect or is this just a case of I’m not remembering things correctly?

I always remembered it as Tork, like Peter Tork of the Monkees.

I remember York too. But I’m not going to pretend that I pay huge attention to towel dispensers.

After i do this i assure , you will not remember what you saw there.

Companies do sell and change names.

Depends on which reality you live in.

I clearly remember it being York along with 11 friends and family members agreeing and 2 saying Tork... This is the very first thing I have ever seen that I know isn't correct and for some reason it stuck out immensely.

I'm beginning to think your right , when I imagine it in my mind I see ' York ' .

Its hard to say though because it's a minor thing you see in passing it's a change very few would notice.

There is a company called York that does HVAC systems and air purifiers. Chances are you've seen York on some commercial or residential airflow related appliance.

This checks out as the York logo I remember.

www.york.com...

Tork has been around 55 years. Always done hygiene related stuff.

Conflation?

Wasn't it TROK, i could have sworn it was TROK...

There are yorkville toilets. I do recall seeing york printed on a toilet and maybe a faucet.

I remember my first day of kindergarten I had never seen a urinal before, and the ones there all said "standard".
For a while I thought a urinal was called a "standard", because you stand up at it.

I remember seeing York, but not specifically on a paper towel dispenser. I don't remember ever seeing "Tork" anywhere though.

There are York elevators aren't there? Seeing as how these dispensers are most often seen commercial buildings (some with elevators lol) perhaps the confusion lies in seeing the two names in such close proximity. Or not, who knows? I always remember it as Tork - I've been work from home though and try not to think too much about office buildings

I must have always been in the "Tork" timeline, I've never heard it called York.
