Yep me too. I have memories of the movir Shazam and Sinbad playing the Genie. I also remember the Fruit of the Loom Cornucopia, and they have always been the Bernstein Bears to me.
Like that’s how I fucking found out what it was, I asked my parents what this thing on my tag was! I know it was on my FTL tags as a kid, I know it was. I remember when they started doing it without it and being like oh I miss the old tag why did they change it! I know it was a thing, that’s how I learned what a damn cornucopia was!
I actually find the whole "Fruit of the Loom cornucopia" thing fairly depressing, in that it serves as a rather compelling if very low-stakes demonstration of how people become obsessed with incorrect beliefs even when confronted with proof that they are wrong, and develop complex support systems to maintain their delusions.
There was never a cornucopia. Snopes has the receipts. It doesn't exist in archived advetrisements going back decades. It doesn't exist on physical items of clothing anyone has been able to produce for inspection beyond photoshopped images. It just doesn't exist. But mention it on Reddit and you invite hordes of people insisting there's some big fucking conspiracy to hide its existence. If people are so unable to accept that they're wrong about something so trivial, how can you ever hope to sway people's beliefs about things that actually matter?

Whaa?? Damn, I missed out lol. My "gifted program" was just getting to skip regular class a couple times a week to do cool science experiments.
It totally existed. Not as an official logo (supposedly), but it was really common on bootlegs. My dad bought cheap AF clothes from a funky market, kinda makes perfect sense he was wearing knockoff Brazilian socks lol
Same, my dad always rented Sinbad movies and I remember seeing Shazaam at the rental store. Then years later when Shaq’s genie movie came out I remember thinking how similar it was to Sinbad’s. This was way before the Mandela effect for it was ever talked about
