Apparently, there is an uproar over the internet on the true spelling of the Berenstain/Berenstein Bears.

Okay, so I got the name figured out now. Time to move on with my life.

reminds me of the two slightly different versions of sword in the stone where in one the guy says to Merlin, "if you think you are going to mess with my schedule" and in the other version he says, "if you think that you are going to haggle with my schedule".

I don't know that I ever had a concrete spelling locked in my brain, so this doesn't "rock my childhood". Still, it's hilarious to see such an uproar over the confusion.

Are you kidding me? 

In the Berenstain Bears' alternate universe, Mama, Papa, Sister and Brother Bear have real names.

In the Berenstain Bears' alternate universe, Two Ton is a 5 year old girl bear who wears glasses, and Papa Bear owns a chain of jewelry stores.

i and everyone i know remembers them as the berenstein  bears

Wouldn't this take like 2 minutes to solve? Check eBay for an old book and done. While I admit the true spelling seems strange it's probably because that's how we would spell it now, back when I was 5 I would hardly have noticed the spelling. 

i don't think there is anything to the conspiracy theory but it's odd that so many people remember it this way in fact most people do  also there is the dilemna dilemma  but i found a website that explains this.

In the Berenstain Bears alternate universe, Farmer Ben is the town drunk who likes hanging around outside the local diner, whistling at girls way too young for him, and Queenie is a goth chick who writes poetry about how pathetic life is.
