Does anyone else remember the Buckley's tagline being: "It tastes awful, but it works."? (lemmy.ca)

As opposed to "It tastes awful. And it works."

I saw an ad for it tonight and the "And" completely threw me. I could have sworn it was always "but"...

Apparently it's been "and it works" for most of the company's history, but I remember it being "but it works" too

I'm surprised I couldn't find a video, but I'm pretty sure there was a string of ads in probably the mid 2000s that all had the same spokesman, and his delivery sure sounded like "but." They were on TV all the time in the period where I was still watching TV

This is fascinating though, I'm not sure I've ever personally witnessed the Mandela effect. I mean, I'm sure I have been before, but to actually catch it in action is new to me

    I always remember it being "and" because as a child it drove me crazy. "But it works" made more sense to me at the time.
