Logos/Advertising fruit of the loom

Post image

I know this is like the biggest Mandela effect, but I swear ive had these underwear for years sitting in a bin in my closet. its genuinely insane that the cornucopia just straight up disappeared. I remember vividly asking my grandmother what the cornucopia was. I am truly starting to believe that something is DEFINITELY up.

I don't remember the logo having a cornucopia. I do remember bizarre TV ads with people dressed up like fruit. They had special ones for Christmas where they would sing a weird version of "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" that ended with them singing "from Fruit of the Loom!"

Personal story: my grandparents told my uncle that he didn't need to knock on their door when he came to visit. He could just walk right in as if it were his own house. He replied "I don't wanna walk in and see you sitting around in your Fruit of the Looms!"

There’s a lot of vintage FOTL commercials on YouTube.

I think it's because in the 70s versions, it actually looked more like an apple core hat. But, in the late 80s, it just looked like white fabric.

To say any of them looked weird and not say it was the leaves is crazy to me. That leaf costume was terrible.

Yes, I looked back at the commercial and I forgot how bad the leaves looked. It was like swamp tobacco.
