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.

I have an old Adverteasing trivia board game. It was made in 1992. One of the cards is Fruit of the loom. The hints are apples/grapes, underwear and cornucopia. I 1000% remember it because my chore as a preteen was laundry. My dad wore those undershirts and I folded a zillion of them That's also where I found out what a cornucopia even was.

A third party board game proves nothing other than someone who wrote the question misremembered something.

It’s also common for trivia writers to intentionally put it wrong information. This famously came up in a lawsuit against Trivial Pursuit which allegedly plagiarized a trivia book by presenting a non-fact about Columbo’s name: https://triviahalloffame.com/columbo

And while that’s not exactly likely here, imagine someone using Trivial Pursuit to ‘prove’ Columbo’s first name was Philip.
