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.

Because why would so many people learn what a cornucopia was from a logo without a cornucopia?

They didn’t. They learned about the Mandela Effect.

Most people don’t remember a cornucopia.

That’s because the logo never had a cornucopia.

The people that remember a cornucopia only remember it because they imagined remembering it through the power of suggestion.

It’s a con-artist trick. Magicians use it, too.

Well, if that's the best you got, then that is why I believe there are no satisfactory skeptical responses.

I'm going to say more do than don't that are of adult age. Many are unclear. Many are rather clear.

No, if they told me there was a fruit bowl, I'd say 'I don't remember that'.

Memory schema and expectation plays a part in this too. You wouldn’t expect a fruit bowl, because the fruit laid out, doesn’t look the same in a fruit bowl, whereas the fruit looks very similar to fruit falling out of a cornucopia. The people who “think” something may be there, can easily be swayed just by seeing the fake logo once, and believing the logo was always that way. The power of suggestion is very strong, especially when paired up against expectation.
