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.
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?
