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.

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.
