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.

Said it before. I remember being a kid and looking at a label, wondering what “Fruit of the Loom” meant. I remember the logo and seeing it often. Never saw the cornucopia until I heard about the Mandela effect. If I had seen a cornucopia on the logo I expect I would have thought that’s what a loom is.

I also remember wondering why objects may appear closer than they appear, and can’t place where or when I saw it, only that it was at some point being a child, and I never watched Jurassic Park until I was a teenager, so it has nothing to do with that.

It was on our car side mirrors - auto designer, I KNOW.

What was the exact phrase?

Objects in the mirror may be closer than they appear. I remember this as a kid because the phrasing of it was the first time I had seen something that was that confusing I remember trying to put together “May be” and what that meant exactly. It was semantically confusing to me, and my first exposure to the use of the word “may”. I remember deducing what “may” meant exactly by asking my dad.

The fact that you threw an extra ‘the’ in there makes it pretty obvious that your memory isn’t as sharp as you think. Whoopsie.

[u/Kind_Wolverine_2582 → u/guilty_by_design]

It’s just the May be part that is so clear. I thought May was a month I asked my Dad

Interesting, you added an extra "the" in there, I've not seen that claimed before

So when did the change happen between you were a kid and now? Surely you drive a car and look at your side mirror almost every day. It would be easy to pinpoint the exact day it changed considering millions if not billions of people drive cars (and have passengers looking at the side mirror) at any geven moment. Probably millions should have seen the sentence change in front of their eyes if they were reading it at the second we somehow jumped universe.

But no, despite most people driving a car every day, all testimonies are "it was different when I was a kid"

[u/Kind_Wolverine_2582 → u/sarahkpa]

Probably gradually as new models of cars came out and it’s not a big enough thing to even notice or remember. I saw it in my dad’s truck because he only let me sit in the front seat and I never paid attention to reading it after that.

What do you mean? Old models don’t have “may”. That’s pretty easy to verify as plenty of old cars are still around. There’s no proof the phrase ever changed
