I think some of those things can adequately be explained by your memories being altered by what you expect to be true. Your brain fills in the gaps of your memories. I learned to read thanks to the Berenstain Bears and I'd swear up and down it was Berenstein but I accept that 1) my young self wouldn't find Berenstain an odd spelling and 2) I probably applied the common Berenstein spelling to my memories after the fact. Same thing with that Forrest Gump quote, with the added bias of "life IS like a box of chocolates" being a widely recognized quote and meme born from the movie.
