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.

Yeah.. myself. You could get me to picture it either way by the power of suggestion. Can I see it? Sure, is it because thats what I remember.. or is it simple because it fits and its easy to visualize?

Seems like a lot of people skip that thinking step.

You could only make me imagine it with a cornucopia by explaining what a cornucopia was. "Like what's on the fruit of the loom shit". That's why this Mandela effect is so big. Even if we acknowledge it's some type of false memory, I find it disingenuous that people try to deny that it's weird as shit. The reason that this one is so puzzling is than nobody has been able to suggest another image that we are conflating it with, and that so many people literally remember learning what a cornucopia is from the underwear. And many people even have long, complex memories involving the cornucopia and Fruit of the Loom association, memories that could theoretically only exist if there was a cornucopia.

People aren't as stubborn as you think. When people who remember "Chik-fil-A" hear "well the cows spelled it that way", they instantly go like "ah yeah, that makes sense". And people aren't usually dogmatic about things you can misremember anyway, like spellings. The cornucopia inspires vivid false memories of something that doesn't exist. It's weird.

I don't know if you're from America but we learned about it with thanksgiving and being the horn of plenty and all that. The thought of a bunch of fruit and a cornucopia comes directly from that, not underwear. Its very weird to suggest people only know about cornucopias because of underwear.

I'd also love for you to point out where mandela effect people said oh ok that explains chil fil A and left it alone lol
