because of how memory works
your brain compresses things according to your understanding of the world. you remember things that don't make sense as if they did make sense. the drawback of this compression means when something actually doesn't make sense in reality and when your brain fills in the memory with good sense, you end up remembering it wrong.
your knowledge of how names work turns the memory of berenstain to berenstein
your knowledge of the horn of plenty turns the fruit of the loops logo into a cornucopia
flintstones makes sense because flint, stone age. flinstones is right but sounds wrong so you remember flintstones instead.
the scene in the james bond movie where the woman should have had braces but didn't.
monopoly guy should have had a monocle. the archetypal image of a rich guy in a top hat almost always has the monocle.
etc.
