Why The Name 'Cheez-It' Has Fallen Victim To The Mandela Effect
By MIKALA LUGEN
The Mandela effect is a phenomenon “when many different people incorrectly remember the same thing.” Over the years, several items have fallen prey to the Mandela effect — from Jif peanut butter to Oscar Mayer — and the latest victim is Cheez-It, the century-old baked cheese snack crackers.
As it turns out, the popular snack has always been called “Cheez-It” as a singular term, and never “Cheez-Its” or “Cheez-Itz,” like many people claim. Cheez-It lovers on social media are shocked, with Twitter one user stating, “Apparently it's just 'Cheez-It' and not 'Cheez-Itz' my life is a lie.”
