Time to test your memory of this iconic scene.
Few vampires are as badass as David and the rest of his gang of 80s glam rock wannabe blood-suckers.
Are you remembering this scene all wrong, too?
The Lost Boys / Warner Bros.
A Mandela Effect is when a large group of people misremember something.
They swear they saw something or heard something, yet all proof says otherwise.
Many believe this is a sign of an alternate universe.
Worms or Maggots?
Michael tucks in, munching on the Americanized Chinese delicacy.
Mid-munch, David asks, How do you like your worms, Michael?
Warner Bros.
When Michael asks What?
in confusion, David responds, Worms.
Michael looks down to find a fistful of worms writhing in his to-go box.
Is that how you remember the scene?
Congratulations; youre remembering it wrong.
Michael never eats worms, or noodles that have been vampire-magicked into looking like worms.
Maggots, not worms.
Truly, a lot of people have fallen for this Mandela Effect.
Like this person:
I asked my friend, who also lovesThe Lost Boys.
Hey, inLost Boys, you know the joke about the worms in Chinese food?
I told him I thought that was it, and explained everything I just did to you.
He said I was full of it and looked it up.
He was as shocked as me.
He called a friend of his who he said that was his all time favorite movie.
So why is everyone remembering it wrong?
Lets figure this out.
A Case for Maggots
First of all, there are worms in this scene.
After Michael thinks he eats maggots, David then offers him a container of noodles.
When Michael looks at the noodles, he sees worms.
He mentions this to David, but Davidnot Michaelmunches on the noodles, showing him they arent worms.
They saw the full scene and assumed it was the worms Michael ate, and not the maggots.
Heres another interesting tidbit.
Have you seen the movieWhat We Do in the Shadows?
It looks like the writers might have been a victim of this Mandela Effect as well.
Check out a scene from the movie below.
We stole that idea fromThe Lost Boys, says Deacon after convincing Nick that his buhsghetti is worms.
you’re free to also watch the whole thing onAmazon Video.
