Yes this happens from time to time. It’s not so much a trick of the universe, imo, as I don’t see why something as ineffable as the universe would get personal like this, but if you follow the school of thought that suggest either:
a) you are manifesting your universe every split second, so if you change your energy, your manifestation, or maybe, your perception, (and perception affects reality) is shifted slightly to match or
b) there are billions of parallel universes, you are in the one that fits your vibes, so, the ones very close in vibration can be a bit different, and if you change your energy you switch to the altered version
… then there can be some minor differences.
I had some other thoughts on it here:
There’s also the theory that the business at CERN/Alice effectively created sorcery events that affect the vibes of the whole planet enough to make changes many can see, usually small things that are cosmetic, like spellings and colours.
The biggest Mandela effect I had was a purchase from a Thrift app that vanished. After I unpacked it and put it away, I went to get it and it was gone, and so was the transaction in the app I bought it in, and so was the transaction on my bank statement, and the seller had never listed it, it no longer existed anywhere but in my memory. I bought a 2nd, but the 1st never did show up.
