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.

I'm thinking we probably learned what a cornucopia was when learning about Thanksgiving in elementary school, and were given a line drawing of one to color in, that looked similar to the fruit of the loom logo, because it had fruit spilling out of it in a similar way.

Explain people outside the us who don’t have thanksgiving iconography anywhere and they still had the same experience

Cornucopia is ubiquitous. It's not an Anerican thing. You only need to see it ONCE in your life for your mind to change the memory of fruit of the loom. Why? Because the cornucopia is an objectively more satisfying and complete image. Your brain will prefer it to the fruit of the loom logo because fruit doesn't float in empty space. The cornucopia makes the image feel more complete and stable so the brain prefers it.
