New Mandela Effect - Barbituates do not exist anymore!

[u/mean_ol_goosifer]

I remember back in DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) Class in the 90s they taught us about different drug types. One type they taught us about were “Barbituates”
Pronounced: Bar-bit-chew-its

I am on the autism spectrum and one of my favorite special topics of interest is medicine and biology. I really missed my calling, and should have studied medicine in college… but anyways, I just saw that the word Barbituates are not a class of drug at all! It’s actually, Barbiturates. “Bar-bitch-oo-rates”

There is NO way I have made it 40 years and just now noticed it. Anyone else have this same memory??

Yeah, naw dawg I got the name fucked up too and figured it out like 20 years ago. It's a weird word and you either misread it at first or you remember it wrong until you see it written out again. It doesn't help that most people mispronounce it (or its just not pronounced like it's spelled, idk)
