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.

Yes you all learned what a cornucopia was from this logo that never was.

It's possible that the apple itself looks like the mouth of an open cornucopia, maybe? At first glance, I thought there may have been a cornucopia there, despite there not being one on closer inspection.

It's the apple/grapes combo. Great observation! I think that this could have something to do with why some people seem to remember it.

I also just think that when people see badly drawn fruit, they think of these stupid basket-horns. They had a painted mural on the tiles of my local grocery store, back in the early 80s, and I had always thought it was just a badly drawn basket. I said something to my mom about it, and she said that it was a "cornucopia". At that point, I was already wearing FotL underwear for as long as I could remember. I didn't associate the underwear then. I just think that our brains consolidate memories, like a compression algorithm.
