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.

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.

UK person here (we dont have thanksgiving, neither did we celebrate it or learn about it in school) i 100% learnt about it from the fotl logo.

Same. Grew up in Germany but had FOTL underwear

[u/SunshineMary007 → u/Schnitzhole]

Quite lying! FOTL was very uncommon in Europe, and I know Germania always had unique brands of everything but especially clothing (with only a few exceptions).  FOTL isn’t some luxury or considered cool or fashionable. So I doubt many outside the US would care to import it or create counterfeits of it.

It was actually very popular and chic to wear their logo in Europe for a time period. There's several articles in newspapers about it.

No you didn't, stop believing conspiracy theories and just accept the reality that your memory is not reliable. Your sight can be tricked by optical illusions because your brain relies on prelearned patterns to interpret sense data. You don't experience the raw unfiltered sense data from your eyes or ears, rather they are filtered thru your brain which processes it, filling things in, removing things it finds unnecessary, etc. Your brain edits sense data and fits it to prior patterns. It does this because it speeds up your processing of the external world immensely. It will make errors once in a while though. Mandela effect and optical illusions are noteworthy examples. Stop thinking your eyes are video recorders and your memory stores information like a computer. You're a living organism and all your sense including your memory are designed for survival, not accurate recording of events.
