      Someone who read 1984 is it not still possible that the logo we all thought we saw was real and they changed yesterday to make us all feel that are memories are wrong? I don’t know why they do that unless it was to see that they could.

      Because I swear I saw the another way on packaging when I was a boy.

        Fruit of the loom, It’s possible, but with the amount of clothing produced with the logo it should be easy to find in thrift stores and the back of peoples closets. At least a few years ago when the idea caught on.

        Thinking logically, are there agents going around stealing the items from homes and thrift shops to cover this up? It would have to be an ongoing process.

        Stove Top stuffing is a bit trickier to debunk since the product was thrown away after consumption, its a lot less likely there is a mountain of old product that could resurface.

            Some people claim it used to be “Stouffer’s Stove Top” brand stuffing, but the company reports they’ve never made any stuffing or product called Stove Top.

            Kraft currently makes Kraft Stove Top stuffing, and people reportedly are misremembering.

              Wtf now that you mention it I do remember that. Maybe we all have shifted into a different reality? So that was never a thing?

                Maybe we all have shifted into a different reality?

                No, we haven’t. But it’s really hard for people to accept that their brains fabricate memories really easily, and with predictable patterns. Your brain read that story and immediately manufactured a memory for it without you even realising.

                So that was never a thing?

                Nope. Just some mixture of things conflating in people’s minds.

                  I can accept that our brain lies to us. For me it was always your brain making you see colors you truly didn’t see. I actually experience it. But imagining a brand I don’t think so. Especially when to many people all have the same exact experience? Some of sure but some of these I’m not so sure.

                  If only we had time travel then we could prove our disapprove some of these things.
