I not only remember the cornucopia one, but I thought this was the reason I learned the word cornucopia when I was a kid. Most Mandela effect stuff is kind of silly to me, but this one just freaks me out.
The wicker conch was there when I was a kid, 100%, but maybe it was regional?
Or maybe they realised getting rid of the conch would save them a million dollars in printing costs over five years (or whatever) and quietly removed it?
I’ve 100% seen the cornucopia version in the past. The only reasonable explanation I can think of is that perhaps people have used the fan-made one without realizing it? It’s a better explanation than parallel universes, at least ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I would swear my undergarments had the cornucopia logo when I was growing up. I actually remember the point in my life where I saw the logo without it and assumed they decided to modernize.
I'll apologise now for the tiktok link, i know how much this place hates tiktok but here is a woman who did a deep dive and found evidence that the company actually changed their logo and tried to scrub the existence of the Cornucopia from the internet to distance themselves from Bad PR.
This is the longest and most confusing Snopes article I have ever read. I feel like the Mandela Effect is clawing at the boundaries of its containment, trying to escape and start to change day-to-day things about my home and the people around me.
I don't have this one, but I will cut you if you call them The Bearenstain Bears.
I am not crazy! I know they swapped those letters! I learned to read with Bearenstein. I knew it was Bearenstein. One after See Spot Run. As if I could make such a mistake. Never. Never!
This one is freaky, but it just comes from the strong cultural association between imagery of big ol' piles of produce and cornucopias. We expect one to be there so our brain tries to helpfully fill in the "gap" in our memory for us.
With the prevalence of cornucopias used in Thanksgiving artwork and how we (people in the US) were force-fed all of it growing up, I imagine allowed the juxtaposition
I'm not aware of what fruit of the loom is but tbh i think they should add it, the logo just doesn't look right without it (it's color palette improves the logo and makes it more square-ish)
I guess I kind of remember it not having a cornucopia behind it, because I remember the shape of the label and it wouldn't have fit. I also feel like I remember thinking it would look better with a cornucopia behind it because it looked exactly like all those pictures of a cornucopia with fruit pouring out of it. And then I thought, what the fuck is a horn of plenty? I've got one right here, pal.
Some Woolworth department stores had a Harvest House diner inside who's logo was a big cornucopia. That's one possible place people of a certain age remember it from. It was really big outside of the Woolworths in our mall
I think what is really happening is seeing or discussing the fake cornucopia version implants that false "memory" in our minds, because it seems so appropriate. It would almost be a better logo, IMO.
But I can't say that I would have mentioned a cornucopia associated with the brand before seeing this post. Very interesting psychological phenomenon none the less.
Was the Morton Salt girl holding the umbrella with one or two hands? Nobody knows, nobody cares, but if you ask that question and show the current logo, people are going to swear she held it with both hands.
The cornucopia has a different line thickness and the shadows follow the shape, rather than go perfectly to the right like on every other object. It's so stylistically out of place that I can't see it being legit.
I distinctly remember the switch from the cornucopia to the modern version. I also doubt the 2 evidenced shirts on the Snopes article are real. They could be, but I recall FotL changed over to the current logo in the early 90s. At the time, companies did not print tag information on clothes themselves, which is what you see in the 2 photos. Tags didn't start getting printed directly on clothes until I was at least in high school so early 2000s. Now, it's possible those 2 shirts were sewn at a facility that had the "old" logo so they could still be legit. I know they were sourcing their garments in different places because the sweatshop controversies were big around that time and big name companies were scrambling to diversify and hide/"improve" their sweatshop facilities in light of increased inspections and scrutiny.
But yeah, the cornucopia was totally a thing. Stop trying to gaslight us Fruit of the Loom!
I don't get the Mandela effect. I never even heard of the guy until he was released from prison. Still, didn't reoffend so I guess he learned his lesson.
Pretty sure Fruit of the Loom didn't have that font either. I think that's a new one.
I did think it was Berenstein bears, but in fairness I did only have one book and it was a worn out scratch and sniff book where all the pages smelt vaguely of pepper. Also a six year old's memory might not be the most reliable thing in the world.
