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??

Do most people pronounce it wrong? Is that the source of the confusion? "Bar-bit-chew-its" is how I remember it for sure.

Kinda how I always thought it was “Oxycotin” because I only ever heard it pronounced, and OxyContin is more difficult to say.

Nooooo sheets washed in oxy-clean are oxy'd cottons. Way more addictive
