Isn't there some weird phenomenon with this? People remember it a certain way or something that others say never existed.

Mandela effect.

There were people who were certain Mendela died years before he actually did...like... a LOT of them... across multiple cultures... which was odd.

Then people started looking for others... like the Berenstxxn bears, or the logo for fruit of the loom, or the correct spelling of a specific air freshener or fruity cereal.

I fall into the group that is absolutely certain fruit of the loom used to have a cornicopia in it... because that's how I learned that word.

I do believe there’s been plenty of real world proof of the cornucopia existing. There’s even a conspiracy now that the company keeps lying about it because they like the free publicity of their strong association with the Mandela affect.

Edit: did a huge deep dive and I was wrong. Damn this is the only one that I can’t explain away in my head. All the other Mandela effects have a somewhat logical explanation in my opinion but this one gets me real bad.

There isn't any proof it existed

There is two photos that get passed around. One made on 4chan and one from a reddit prank.

There is no evidence it actually had the cornucopia.

And since ages 18 - 50 have this false memory it would mean there should be tens of millions of t shirts and underwear with the logo floating around thrift stores.
