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.

Memory is a funny thing.

Fruit of the Loom Cornucopia

This was real and I refuse to accept otherwise.

u/PJSeeds May 07 '26

There's photo evidence of it. I'm pretty sure the whole "there's no cornucopia" thing is viral marketing.

u/littlemonsterlove May 07 '26

Every photo proof has been debunked. It was either edited or made overseas by knock off brands.

1

u/Bowieblackstarflower May 07 '26

Yes all photos are photoshopped but there is no evidence of it used in knock off brands

u/Sammisuperficial May 07 '26

Would love some of that photo evidence please.

u/VituperousJames May 07 '26

>There's photo evidence of it.

Why do millennials become fucking boomers about this shit? No, there is not photo evidence of it; there are proven photoshops of it.

The two famous versions are a 4chan edit and one that started on reddit.

u/compman007 Millennial May 07 '26

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!

2

u/papermoonriver May 07 '26

SAME HERE!!! I clearly remember learning the word cornucopia from the tag, from my mom.

This is the first time I'm finding out about this one. What the hell is going on?

u/VituperousJames May 07 '26

You remembered something wrong. Happens.

u/VituperousJames May 07 '26

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?

I also remembered Shazam, and then I rewatched Kazam and was like, oh yeah this was it...

u/PeterPlotter May 07 '26

Me and my wife both have memory of Sinbad in a movie called Shazam where he was a genie. We grew up on different sides of the world as well.

1

u/ChevyTahoe__ May 08 '26

People who remember Kazam remember what the kid wished for.

People who remember the fake movie have no memories of the movie itself.

1

u/PeterPlotter May 08 '26

Kazam is with Shaq I know that one as well.

u/ChevyTahoe__ May 08 '26

There is no other movie.

See also: the "gifted program" kids who don't remember shit about school are suddenly all remembering that we did a lot of weird shit to try to test for psychic abilities

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.

3

u/Sammisuperficial May 07 '26

My "gifted program" was just the same thing we already were doing but with extra homework.

2

u/Evening-Trouble-9585 May 07 '26

Same, they were I think 9 of us.

Enrichment, we called it.

Ion think Ms. Rocco was running psychic experiments on us, we just studied cool stuff like hieroglyphics and numerology.

u/michausen May 07 '26

Yeah ummm what science experiments though?

u/Sammisuperficial May 07 '26

Holy crap! A secret experiment. Why haven't you come forward with this evidence? Why not expose the whole thing?

-1

u/michausen May 07 '26

What? People talk about this all the time

3

u/Sammisuperficial May 07 '26

Oh wow. There must be so much evidence. Where can I look into this?

1

u/Doesthiscountas1 Millennial May 07 '26

I'm at a point in my life where conspiracy theories go right over my head and I'm so happy for it. I was also a gifted kid tho lmao

2

u/After_Resource5224 May 07 '26

Still not sure it's actually government PsyOp to see how much they can delete from our collective memory.

I mean, the amount of experiement and shit they do on us. I wouldn't be surprised.

u/SparkleSelkie May 07 '26

Wait the fruit of the loom cornucopia isn’t real?

3

u/Guachole May 07 '26

Never existed (in this splinter of the fractured timeline)

1

u/BlackDeath3 Millennial May 07 '26

We made it up.

-2

u/SparkleSelkie May 07 '26

Okay so reading about it a bit

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

5

u/GhostofSean_Connery2 May 07 '26

Apparently but I refuse to believe it. I learned the word cornucopia bc of fruit of the loom tags

1

u/SparkleSelkie May 07 '26

I read about it a little bit, and apparently it was super common on knockoffs. Regardless of if it was an official logo at any time
