I'm not going to lie. This kind of freaks me out. I'm on Team Stein.

The Berenst(E)ain Bears Conspiracy Theory That Has Convinced the Internet There Are Parallel Universes | VICE | United States

Summed up here

 

Take a cold hard look at the wording above. Does something look wrong to you? Do you remember it being Berenstein with an E, not Berenstain with an A?

 

If you do, you're not alone. There are many who remember it this way. In fact, there are so many Berenstein believers that people in the know will cite that as proof that this is a glitch in the matrix. I've dubbed these individuals Berensteinites. I talked to quite a few people I know, and most of them remember the bears surname being spelled with an E.

 

"I only realized that 'A' reading to my kid about eight months ago," one of my friends said. "That was a disturbing bedtime."

 

To be completely honest, I am one with the believers of the E. I personally remember, vividly, the Berenstain Bears being spelt with an E and calling it that for years. Even during the writing of this piece, the misspelled name is right there on the tip of my tongue. I constantly need to go back and change all of the Berensteins to Berenstains because my mind is so set in its way.

 

Learning that I have been wrong all these years has caused what can only be described as a personal crisis of sorts.

I'm entirely too sober to properly contemplate this.

I'm rolling on 3 hours sleep and 16oz of Red Bull. In short, the perfect frame of mind!

I cannot tell you the # of these books we had when my kids were younger and how many times I read each and every one! On that note, I simply cannot remember whether it was an A or an E in the name. Those books have long ago been sold on ebay.

It's an E. If you attempt to prove to me otherwise, it will simply show just how far this cover-up has spread.

#teamBerenstein all day.

Definitely an E. This isn't communist Russia. #TeamStEin

I work in a bookstore; your "E" argument is invalid.
