    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.

          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.

            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.
