#37: The Monopoly Monocle
Here’s an example that harkens back to our childhoods and to tear-filled game nights with the family that always ended with someone storming off to their room: of course, I’m talking about Monopoly. Multiple people remember the Monopoly Man, the mascot of the game, having a monocle.
This one makes a lot of sense if you think about it. The Monopoly Man is the sort of person that you would expect to see wearing a monocle: he’s a dapper, old-fashioned gent in a top hat, which is exactly the sort of person you’d expect to wear a monocle. No big surprise that multiple people assumed he did and then found they were mistaken.
