Millions Remember These Things, but They Have Never Been Real! Are You Also a Victim of This Mysterious Phenomenon?
Mr. Monopoly Never Had a Monocle
For years, we thought that the rich-people-wearing-monocles stereotype came from the Monopoly Man, also known as Rich Uncle Pennybags. It turns out we were victims of the Mandela effect. The Monopoly game mascot, created by inventor Charles Darrow, has, in reality, never had a monocle!
It’s crazy that Mr. Monopoly has been around (and monocle-free) since the mid-’30s! The misconception that he has a monocle probably has something to do with knock-off Monopoly games one can find in some stores worldwide.
