Here's one I just experienced, was watching Star Wars: A New Hope and my brother asked me if I remember C-3PO every having a silver leg. I told him no, hes always been all gold. Next scene we watched his right leg from the knee down was all silver. Like wtf never have I noticed that before, I said meh maybe it was a Lucas later edit. Revenge of the Sith comes on the TV next and C-3PO's leg is so vibrantly silver that I could not even comprehend not noticing that contrast in past viewings.

it's because we were watching it on 21" televisions from VHS
I only ever really noticed it in the desert scene after the escape pod, when he’s arguing with R2. It looks silver there, the rest of the time it looks gold. I think I probably assumed it was some video quality thing, either on my TV or that a lot of movies from that time period have weird quirky video. Like Logan’s Run was the year before Star Wars and if something gold sometimes looked silver, I wouldn’t really even notice, that’s just how a movie from the 70s looks.
I could’ve sworn Jim Beam whiskey was Jim Bean. A friend of mine had a poster of a whiskey bottle on his wall that I stared at every time I was there. He was a minor at the time and didn’t drink, so I always wondered why he had it up. Years later I saw a Jim Beam bottle and had a Mandela moment. The Berenstein Bears and Mandela dying in jail were things I believed, too, but I think the whiskey one is one I haven’t heard from anybody else, yet.
I had to go look it up to double check you weren’t trying to pull a fast one; I was 100% sure it was Bean.
For me its the the Yellow sign on the Standoff Map in Call of Duty Black Ops 2.
None but I live in New Zealand and have met a lot of strange people online who think our geographic location has changed.
Like you’re not in the bottom right? Absurd!
I genuinely remembered there were 5 main characters in the Little Einsteins cast, even though there were only 4.
I guess I was imagining random weirdness.
