There absolutely was a cornucopia in the fruit of the loom logo. That is the sole reason I know what a cornucopia is. It wasn't on any table or in any thanksgiving decoration in my childhood, it isn't a popular thing to exist in media, it was an obscure item that was a main part of an underwear logo.
Anyone that says differently is objectively wrong. I don't know why the logo changed and why besides a patent entry even the company itself denies it. I don't really care if this is an alternate earth or aliens or time travellers or an entirely natural quirk of existing in a quantum universe, but I know for an absolute fact the sole reason I know what a cornucopia is is because of my underwear, and not because my dick is coincidentally called the horn of plenty.
There absolutely wasn't. Snopes did a good piece on this in 2024.
Yeah, snopes isn't a trustworthy source, and more importantly, there absolutely was. I know that for an absolute certainty, and gaslighting isnt going to work.
Your passionate certainty and value of your own judgment/recollection have convinced me! ๐
Denying that the logo used to have a cornucopia is a thing? Sheesh, TIL.

I remember this as well, just like I remember Mandela dying in prison. Felt like I was Looney Tunes when I found out as an adult he was still alive.
I honestly believe this one is a gorilla marketing gimmick. Like they purposely went back and removed references to it so any time someone brings up the Mandela Effect their name gets mentioned.
I definitely got the cornucopia from the saccharine depictions of 'the origin' of thanksgivings. I always thought the logo came from those.
