The Doors now have 2 extra albums that never existed before. Kit-Kat no longer has a hyphen. Sex IN The City is now Sex AND The City. Interview With THE Vampire not A Vampire. Life WAS Like A Box Of Chocolates not IS like etc etc.

Are you being serious? I knew of a Door's album after Morrison died. I bought it as a record in a thrift store when I was 13. It was made by the surviving members of the band. Almost no one knows about it because it wasn't heavily promoted. I don't know of another album unless you mean some of the Live music they put out years later.
I always remember the line as Life IS like a box of chocolates.
This 'issue' is people not remembering correctly and being so attached to their flawed memory that they won't accept it's inaccurate despite the evidence. It doesn't help that because of the internet it is likely they'll find a number of people who remember a movie line or whatever the same way and so it reinforces their belief.
It's a cool idea but...

The whole "Mandela Effect" thing is kind of dumb. A person or group of people incorrectly remember a minor detail of a random and vague piece of information and agree that the simplest solution is not that the thing they remembered incorrectly is minor and therefore easily mistakable, but that they are in fact in another universe entirely.
Human memory is notoriously unreliable. Scientific studies show that a lot of what people remember has either been distorted by the brain or completely made up. It's why witness testimony in court is almost never taken at face value unless it is corroborated by hard evidence.
Pic related, which people use as "proof" of this shit, is probably the work of a TV Guide editor who, like many, confused "Stain" for "Stein".

In fact, most people are idiots who don't pay attention to something as simple as spelling. It's just a bunch of people who are collectively wrong banding together to feel less stupid.

Loads of it is literally just Americans being ignorant of other countries. Like the namesake example, Nelson Mandela. If Mandela died in prison in the 80's, he'd be a footnote by now.
His big moment was becoming the first black president at the end of Apartheid. When he died it was the first most people outside South Africa heard about him in a long time, so they assumed he'd died some time around when he was last newsworthy.
In 20 years, kids will be saying they remember 9/11 happening in 2000, not 2001, or just two towers falling, not three.

It is dumb indeed, but the Moonraker braces scene was something I was sure I remembered too. It must be predictive programming, as it wasn't just a dumb meme misquote like 'Luke I am your father' or a misremembered name. Something similar happened at the end of 'The Sopranos', where lots of people (me included) seemed to remember seeing the daughter come through the restaurant door before the cut to black, which never happened.
