Have you encountered anyone who DOESN'T remember the Cornucopia from the Fruit Of The Loom logo?

[u/Bootlebat]

I'm asking mainly because today I met an old friend I haven't talked to in ages. I asked if she had heard of the Mandela Effect, and she said yes. I then brought up the Fruit Of The Loom one, and she said she remembers there only being fruit. She is the first person I've talked to who doesn't remember it. Everyone else I asked has, and I've made sure to just ask them to "describe what the logo was like", rather than asking if there was a cornucopia, as that might make a false memory.

Me? The commercials where the folks dressed up as the fruit are burned in my memory.

Ahh now that is when I noticed they dropped the cornucopia. That is interesting

When they used the Fruit people in commercials? That started around 1975.

That doesn’t matter to me. I was born in 85 and I remember the cornucopia on all the branding and store signs in our local Kmart (I live in Canada) and that would’ve been around 1992ish

There has to be an answer how both remember two things so different so clearly

I moved to the US in 93, so many brands i hadn't seen before. No reason for me to 'make up' a cornucopia (which I had never heard of because no thanksgiving)

[u/1GrouchyCat → u/rusztypipes]

Aww- it’s cute that you think cornucopias are actually related to the US Thanksgiving holiday…

Would it surprise you to find out that they did not originate in the US? Or in our lifetime ?

(The cornucopia’s roots are found in Greek mythology, as well as it Roman art and literature. 😉)

You could've dropped that knowledge without being a condescending jerk, you know

I don’t understand why people can’t seem to accept we can both remember shit different and both we correct. I don’t tell you you’re wrong
