    I’ve 100% seen the cornucopia version in the past. The only reasonable explanation I can think of is that perhaps people have used the fan-made one without realizing it? It’s a better explanation than parallel universes, at least ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

          If true then what would we call this mass misremembering? Some effect according to… Mandela maybe?

            Yeah that makes sense because so many people remember him dying in prison in the 90’s even though he actually died in 2013

          You read the post and it primed your brain to remember a certain way. Our brains are a shitty meatball just trying to get by. They get tricked in the same ways. Optical illusions are still illusions even though most people experience them in the same way.

            Nah

            If you asked me yesterday to draw this logo would have put the cornucopia. The two options aren’t labeled you pick which one is correct and then come to find out you’re wrong.

              You’re really not understanding how good the brain is at tricking us, of course it feels like you’d have drawn it but your brain didn’t think about it yesterday what you’re doing is simulating what your best assumption is for how things would have happened using the current set of information.

              They’ve done all sorts of studies on this and honestly it’s terrorizing just thinking about it.

          Totally agree! I love these kinds of things. I honestly prefer to believe it’s multiverse collapse, but, you know. Generally I know that is unlikely.

        I remember it because that is how I learned what a Cornucopia was. Asking my mother about it, after seeing it on white underwear, at a Zellers.

          That’s another Mandela effect.

          Fruit of the Loom never produced underwear.

      Probably just a trick of the mind, but maybe you got some knock off stuff? IDK who would make fake FOTL but they seem to make all sorts of counterfeit products.

        Who’s downvoting this? Our brains are crap. You were primed to remember the cornucopia so you did. That’s it. Y’all really think there’s a vast conspiracy to convince you that Bernstein was spelled differently and some random logo was different? Consider that our stupid heads are literally full of stupid meat. We’re barely smarter than a shit throwing baboon.

          I think someone is going through my history and downloading all my comments by 1, for one thing.

          Edit: see

      Maybe it’s a fake. I once saw a Diesel t-shirt where the punk wore a thin headband.
