The Manilla Effect

An unusual phenomenon where a large group of people remember something differently than how it occurred. This effect originated in 2010 when a women posted a picture on facebook of a box of Nilla Wafers with the caption, "I love Manilla Wafers!" Thousands then came forward swearing the brand was "Manilla Wafers", hence dubbing the now famous Manilla Effect

Ganzfield effect

A hallicunitory effect that occurs when the brain cancels out any visionary or auditory signal, resulting in mass hallucinations similar to that of LSD. It is typically induced by slicing a ping-pong ball in half, and placing one half over each eye. One then fills the room with blank radio static, and shines a red light through the ping pong ball.

I just saw a unicorn via the Ganzfield effect

The DeLeon Effect

When you smell worse than a skunk, have the attitude of a monkey who just got shot in the rear, and have a tendency to threaten to throw small people out a window, this is The DeLeon Effect.

A man comes out of his room, and all females are instantly repelled by his stench, which he takes to be the fact that they are all evil and should die, and then grabs the nearest midget and punts them out the nearest window. This man has demonstrated The DeLeon Effect.
