Like Bogey never said "Play it again Sam", Kirk never once said "Beam me up Scotty", the phrase "Big Brother is watching you" was never spoken in Nineteen Eighty-Four and yet these things have come to be associated with, and identified with, these movies and there are no doubt people who would say they heard them or knew they were spoken. Any other examples of what I guess you''d call factual fallacies maybe? Doesn't have to be from film or TV.

I did notice, to my surprise, recently, that in the book "Alice in Wonderland" the character is never once referred to as the Mad Hatter, only the Hatter. That was news to me.

No astronaut has ever seen the Great Wall of China from space with the naked eye.

Homeopathy never worked.

Captain Beefheart never threw John Drumbo French down a flight of stairs.

Vitamin C never cured anyone's cold.

Don't know where you're getting your information from but I can tell you from experience, having some Vitamin C in my diet when i'm sick definitely helped me get better.

Just looked it up, I do remember it as Berenstein Bears, not Berenstain, weird. It could have just been our stupid kid brains reading/pronouncing it the wrong way?

The Vitamin C Myth : NPR

It basically boils down to the placebo effect. There are people who swear by acupuncture, chiropracty, magic super foods, and a lot of other things as well, regardless of the fact that there's little scientific evidence to support them.

Drink a glass of OJ every morning and you will avoid colds better than the person next to you who doesn't.

Only an idiot would argue against this.
