mashed potato ice cream cone effect

The "mashed potato ice cream cone effect" is a surprise feeling (often negative) when you eat or bite into one thing thinking it's something else that looks similar

I poured myself some salsa to have with my tortilla chips. It wasn't until the first chip that I realized it was spaghetti sauce in a salsa jar. I quickly learned the meaning of the mashed potato ice cream cone effect

Pisani-Reade Effect

When someone or a group of people lie and make false accusations for serious crimes, including rape, pedophilia, etc in order to hide the fact that they're either doing something just as bad if not worse than the person they're accusing or trying to con people that support them in a mega grifting scheme. People that participate in such activities will also harass, guilt trip and back stab other people behind their backs while pretending to care about said person to their face. They also have a large victimization complex where they pretend that they're the victims when they get caught

Did you hear about those people that were lying and falsely accusing that kid of being a creep because of something super arbitrary and stupid?
Oh great did the Pisani-Reade effect hit the fandom?

The Mizubmi Effect

A disgrace to the world. It comes from latin, which means “hell shall be proclamed”. Some elders say that if you scream this word at 3AM looking in the mirror, she will persecute you until you go crazy and commit.

Like Vickye and Ryuko says, also known as the founders of Mizubmi: ”Damn, I think The Mizubmi Effect put a deadly curse on me.”

Sonic & Knuckles Effect

The Sonic & Knuckles Effect only happens when 2 characters are compared to each other. One character may have more careless, goofy, "radical" behavior, and the other character may have serious and focused behavior. The original form of the Sonic & Knuckles Effect was, well, Sonic & Knuckles, with Sonic being the more careless character, and Knuckles being the more serious character.

Person 1: Hey! Cmon, what are you doing here just sitting around?
Person 2: I'm trying to look after my belongings.
Person 3: It looks like you two have the Sonic & Knuckles Effect
