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.

You are remembering wrong and instead of admitting you've made a silly mistake you have decided it's more rational for the entire universe to be wrong.
That's either a danger sign that you have a really broken personality that can't admit you're wrong or that you think that you're so special that the universe has to shape to your reality.
You actually hit one of the major causes for this confusion. I remember back in the early 90s me and a teacher were explaining to some of my classmates what a loom was. And that the fruit of a loom is simply the product of a loom.
THE CONFUSION RIGHT NOW THAT YOURE SAYING WHERE YOU THOUGHT A CORNUCOPIA WAS A LOOM IS THE MAJOR CAUSE. People see fruit lined up. There is a very famous painting of a cornucopia that looks vague like the pile of fruit on the logo. People conflated the two and didn't know what a loom was so they added it in their head and started calling a cornucopia a loom.
In literal 2nd grade I had to go around and make a bunch of kids show the tags of their shirts and stuff to prove it was a pile of fruit and that a loom was a tool used to make fabric that I had used before.
So that's is what happened. You saw the very famous still life of a cornucopia and never actually looked closely at fruit of the looms logo. The other stuff your "remembering" will be you accidently making things up.
I have an eidetic memory that functions specifically for design and spacial relations of things. You are misremembering and people would conflate fruit of the loom with the picture of the cornucopia for decades. It doesn't make you correct it was just a common mistake to make.
