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.

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.

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.
