When I searched duck duck go image search for Fruit of the Loom, the cached image for their official website includes the cornucopia. When you click into it though it's not there. WHAT ARE THEY HIDING!

I guess they are hiding... a... cornucopia?

What's the Mandela uhhh Effected thing here?

[-] SilverbrookCVN@sopuli.xyz 10 points 9 months ago

Cornucopia in the fruit of the loom logo

[-] TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 9 months ago

Is the effected part that the logo used to lack the cornucopia?

[-] bishoponarope@lemmy.world 11 points 9 months ago

It lacks the cornucopia now, and from what I've gathered it is allegedly due to a sale and rebrand to distance the company from an ecological disaster.

[-] Ranvier@sopuli.xyz 8 points 9 months ago

It's never had the cornucopia in the logo.

It's pretty common for people's brains to want one to be there for some reason though. My guess is because we've seen so many similar pictures of fruit or vegetables spilling out of a cornucopia that we misremember and merge similar pictures.

How much can you trust snopes tho? For all we know, they could be in on it. I'm not american, I have never heard of this brand before, but I think the pro-cornucopia people have a more solid point.

I had some fruit of the loom underwear growing up, and while I can't remember if the logo had a cornucopia or not, I do remember the material sucked

Shit pants, essentially.

[-] Jackthelad@lemmy.world 13 points 9 months ago

Does anyone remember them being called Mandela Effects?

It's another timeline shift!

Another common Mandela Effect is when people mistakenly write the word "effect" with an "a" instead of an "e"

[-] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 9 points 9 months ago

That effect doesn't affect me.

[-] FlihpFlorp@lemm.ee 6 points 9 months ago

Dear god he’s too powerful

[-] TheRaven@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

It doesn’t effect me either.
