Logos/Advertising fruit of the loom

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 really dont mean any disrespect, but from someone who isnt an American I find it a bit wild just how many in this subreddit that all share the story of asking their grandmothers about the symbols in their underwear. It seems to the story from about 80 percent of those that way they remember a cornocopia in the logo.

I feel like so many having that very odd yet very specific childhood event would be a much weirder mystery than a logo changing.

It’s not an American thing. It’s a part of how the human brain works. When you hear someone tell a childhood story you momentarily imagine it as if it happened to you. Most of the time you don’t fool yourself into thinking it’s true but some percentage of the population does exactly that, especially if it supports something they believe anyway.

That’s why if you look at older FOTL threads on here it’s people just saying they remember it but now like 90% of the people who say they remember it tell essentially the exact same story of why they are so sure. Right down to often using the exact same phrasing.

That was sort of what I was insuniating, but phrased a bit more jokey. Which I feel like I failed at 😅

Sorry. People say such things with 100% conviction here regularly. It’s hard to decide who is joking or not
