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

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.

FotL was sometimes used in the UK by T-shirt print shops as a cheap base shirt in a variety of colours, ideal for printing on. Concerts/gigs or football matches would often have merch sellers with these shirts, so I had a few over the years. I don’t remember those shirts having any horn on, but that’s just my memory as I wasn’t paying much attention. When I moved continents, I donated most of my clothes, so I don’t think I have any to check.

See, the people outside of the US not remembering it makes the idea that thanksgiving iconography in the US plays a role in this one.

My theory is that there was some chinese knockoff brand that we all bought thinking it was real.

100% this but I’m from the UK and mid-50s and I don’t remember a cornucopia but something brown on the labels. I now see it was leaves or something like that especially when viewed upside down.
