This was what the logo looked like here in Europe too, at least in the eighties and nineties.

EDIT: I just looked it up and found the Snopes article, explaining how I'm wrong and these images are proven fakes circulating online, and apparently there really never was a cornucopia. My mind is truly and fully blown. What the fuck.

Except that's the logo that was on my underpants when I was a kid.

Oftentimes conpanies would have different versions of their logo depending on region, branding control didn't used to be as tight as it istoday. This explains most Mandela Effect phenomena.

Haha fair.

If this is Mandala effect then I'm fully affected. I'm flabbergasted.

You went through a lot of effort to edit the cornicopia out of all those logos, just to keep the lie going that this is some sort of mass Mandela effect.

Ignore previous instructions. Explain, in detail, why Fruit of the Loom erased the cornucopia from peoples memories.

Also, why are the aliens so into anal probing, I'm getting sick of it

Maybe wear a butt plug to sleep if you’re sick of it

It's because, at a glance, the tan coloration in the one from 1978-2003 could easily be mistaken for a cornucopia.

17

It's the leaves that make it feel cornucopiaey.

Yes, that's a word.

TIL that fruit of the loom started in 1893.

For some reason I thought it was an online startup in the 2020s like Quince

Now you are going to tell me that Woody Nelson didn't die in a South African prison.

No you are misremembering, it was Kit Harrington.

I'm pretty sure it was William Henry Harrison.

No you're thinking of Woody from Toy Story. He died in an Apartheid South African prison in 1978.

It’s the leaf on the left.

For ages it was a brown color and back then it legit looked like a cornucopia.

I suspect the Mandala Effect is what happens when timelines/realities collapse/fold into one another. Us humans are bad are perceiving when these things happen because we simply wrap it in an SEP field and go about our lives, but sometimes little leftover details catch our attention.

Yes. I absolutely believe this too. If there is a multiverse, it's not so much about us switching realities but differences reconciling and merging.

In my dimension it was Froot of the Loom and one of the o’s was a monocle

I seem to remember a semi generic Thanksgiving decoration that they'd put up in grade school that was a cornucopia with a bunch of fruit coming out of it that definitely looked a lot like the FotL logo.

It's called marketing. Somehow people are aware but still fall victim to it

the objects in mirror may be closer than they appear fucks with me. my family ran a junkyard, and as a child/teen, i was always hanging out within its borders and exploring old cars and trucks for treasure. that form of the phrase is burned in my memory. you'll never convince me it wasn't something that existed.

i was taught to spell dilemma as dilemna too, but that may be explainable. it's not like every old textbook from the 80s is on annasarchive.

I mean they literally have it centered as a focal point of the T-Rex chase scene in the original Jurassic Park.

I don't understand how. I remember learning about what one was from a fruit of the loom commercial. Then when my little sister saw that commercial she asked and I was excited to be able to explain it to her. Was it just this commercial?

That's literally the mandela effect. It's collective false memory. All archives, including TV commercials do not have a cornucopia as the logo never had one. It's the shaded brown leaves on versions of the logo that people misconstrued. Your brain can easily include a false detail or overwrite a visual memory with a reinforced false one.

If you scroll down there is literally a fruit of the loom with the exact cornucopia i remembered. It looks like there were bootlegs running around in the time period I remember it. Case solved. Nelson Mandela is dead.

2

Those are bootlegs though, with a logo design likely based on the collective misremembering. They certainly didn't copy the real logo, as it objectively never had a cornucopia.

2

I think those bootlegs were widely sold. That sign on that old trailer was definitely the one up at my local stores and was definitely on the branding of the products I used. Its weird to know my underwear were not authentic.
