Isn't it Flava Flav, not Flavor Flav?
Anyone else notice this?
shareFlavor Flav is correct.
Flava sounds more like a feminine name because of the a at the end.
I'm sure it was Flava Flav.

Check it out. This is Ebay's listings for Flava Flav. There are 75 auctions and all spell it as Flava.
A few hundred listings under Flavor Flav on ebay. Also, his official website publicenemy.com and his album spell it Flavor Flav.
shareRight, so if Flavor is his correct name, why are so many people spelling it as Flava? Something to think about.
shareMaybe people are spelling it the way they think it's pronounced. Flavor Flav knows how to spell his own name which is why I mentioned his CD and his music group's website.
shareBut you're ignoring the fact that I and many others remember it as Flava. The "Flava" Ebay listings only add to this. And if this change is a "Mandela Effect" then the CDs and other stuff will have changed. So I was trying to determine if this is indeed an ME, and I believe that it is. Just as Dolly's missing braces in Moonraker, some residue of the old way remain.
shareI was thinking about the Mandela Effect, too. Apparently quite a few people believe his name has changed. Google with both spellings + Mandela Effect.
Youtube video of a woman saying the same as well as comments:

I googled some old articles and I found the spelling Flava:

Even though I believe in the Mandela Effect, there could've been periodic misspellings by the media which helped create the confusion.
"some residue of the old way remain."
Some people still retain memories.
That's right, just about everyone I've asked remembers it as Flava Flav. I don't know when it changed but as with other MEs, the younger people tend to think the new way is correct. That's because they've seen the new way longer than the old way, if the old way at all. Take Oscar Meyer coldcuts for example. Sometime in the last 10-15 years it changed to Mayer. But I and many others remember it as Meyer. And the pronunciation is still Meyer. Otherwise it would be pronounced as John Mayer says his name. But because it changed a long time ago, most kids today only know it written as Mayer. I am very curious, if we ask Flava how he spells his name, what would he say...
shareI used to sing the jingle all the time when I was a kid - many years ago. "My bologna has a first name, it’s O-S-C-A-R, My bologna has a second name, it’s M-A-Y-E-R..."
I always sang it with an A. A name can be pronounced different ways.
He's going to say Flavor because that's how he spells it on his album and website.
I used to watch the commercials on TV as a kid (I'm 48) and it was MEYER. Show me a single other person who spells his name Mayer but pronounces it Meyer. I believe, as I've said, the name change occurred some 15 years ago, maybe more. I noticed the change a long time ago at the supermarket but thought the company had changed it. But according to OM the name has never been changed. Same thing with the VW logo, Kit-Kat, Bragg's vinegar, etc
shareThe single person:

Families pronounce the same name differently especially if it's anglicized. For example:
former NYC Mayor Ed Koch (Kuhch) vs. Koch Brothers (Coke)
Andrew Carnegie pronunciation is different from when I was a kid. Car-nuh-ghee vs 'Car-neg-ghee. I hate the new way.
Houston Street in NYC is howstun. But the Texas City is hewstun.
I believe the Mandela Effect involving deaths are intriguing. A death announcement was made re: a coworker on my job. They said he died the previous day after calling in sick - he never came to work. But, many people saw him that day at work and even had conversations with him. I saw him enter the building. An event that happened only one day earlier isn't going to confuse so many people.
I'm not saying people pronounce their names differently with similar spellings. What I'm saying is that it used to be Oscar Meyer, and pronounced as it's written, but then became Mayer, ,and is still pronounced as before. And that is FUBAR.
share"Show me a single other person who spells his name Mayer but pronounces it Meyer. "
I was addressing the above comment.
Top scientist/doctor Dr. Robert Lanza talks about a time experiment on this video. It starts at 3:30 to 4:20
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bc44f_3QfwE
In the video, he's speeding through the topics, but his books explain them slowly and thoroughly and are worth a read - especially his second book.
"Biocentrism" and "Beyond Biocentrism: Rethinking Time, Space, Consciousness, and the Illusion of Death". There are more physicists who support these views.
Ok, yes, that death ME you experienced is similar to others' experiences.
shareMaybe you're just too dumb to Google "Flavor Flav"?
shareNo, that's not it. And why would I do that when I remember it as Flava? Why would I Google an incorrect spelling?
shareI can't help you with delusions, see a shrink. You have no interest in the truth.
shareI thought you had no interest in the truth, since you resort to name calling instead of researching things. And no shrink can help us with the Mandela Effect because it's real.
shareI really can't tell if this topic is serious or not, but even if you google Flava, it comes out Flavor Flav. Not to mention the show Flavor of Love, not Flava of Love.
