The weird thing is, I dont specifically remember seeing the logo with a cornucopia, but when I see the logo with a cornucopia it just looks correct. It doesnt look like something was added
As a British person, I have owned exactly one fruit of the loom product in my life and distinctly remember seeing a cornucopia on it, and it was even the first time I'd ever seen one. I still have the same shirt but going back to it, the logo just doesn't have the cornucopia on it. I feel like I'm going crazy
This makes sense if it's a quantum jump from one timeline to another. In one timeline the logo designer liked the cornucopia but in the next timeline the logo designer decided against it. Everything else is the same in the new timeline but the reason that detail is different is because it's outside of your influence. You didn't make it and you don't own the concept art so its susceptible to change
and I, as an italian person, got exactly one t-shirt from fruit of the loom (more than 10 years ago) and I also remember the cornucopia even tho the logo is just fruits... this for me is the proof that we all share the same roots of consciousness or something 🤔
@@PainrosesI remember seeing a cornucopia too when I was a kid. I remember this because I had clothes with them on it and it was the first time I saw one.
@@briantalbott516 it's like a canon experience all over the world... maybe, during our lifetime, we all have this vivid dream about that damn logo with the cornucopia so we now share the exact same memory about it...?
I LITERALLY DUG THROUGH AND DESTROYED MY DRAWERS LOOKING AT MY T SHIRTS AND UNDERWEAR TRYING TO FIND THAT DAMN CORNICOPIA AND FOUND NOTHING... I SWEAR THEY WERE THERE BEFORE I WATCHED THIS VIDEO
@@MedroffYT I think you mistook it for a cornucopia. You probably saw one before, like in class, but your mom wasn't around to be asked. Then you saw the logo
I was a child when I learned the word Cornucopia, I asked my mom what the thing was on the logo on the underwear pack she bought me. She said it’s a decorative horn. My father corrected her and said it’s called a Cornucopia. He said it’s just a table decoration. This memory is crystal clear and there’s no way it wasn’t there. She bought me and my brothers Fruit of the Loom, all from the local Kmart.
I remember being at church and there was a big cornucopia with canned goods inside and I asked my parents what it was and asked why the church has the underwear basket thingy!!
What if you were asked what was in the logo without mention of a cornucopia? Do you think you’d include it then or could it be there because someone suggested it might be?
I remember when I heard about the Mandela effect and someone said the cornucopia was part of it and I was like, “what people think the cornucopia isn’t there?” Only to feel horrified that the controversy is that the cornucopia actually apparently never existed. I never felt more freaked out by the Mandela effect.
It really is one of the most glaring ones. But the Berenstein Bears will always be my #1, because I was an AVID reader of those books and would read them religiously for years growing up. It was never BerenstAin and I will take that to the grave
@@steviechampagne With the Berenstain Bears thing, I feel like it's something I would have thought was funny as a kid, like "BerenSTAIN Bears? Like berry-stained bears?" And you'd think some people would have pronounced it with "stain" instead of "stein" but I never once knew anyone who said it that way. There are some Mandela Effect things that are bogus though, I remember distinctly as a kid wondering about why Curious George didn't have a tail so I know that's just people misremembering things
Dude I'd never heard of Berenstain Bears until I read about it as an example of the Mandela Effect, guess how I pronounced it.. No it's not a crazy inconsistency
@@lulhad why not that would be like saying Pepsi wouldn't change the logo just because they've been using it for so long and honestly with how prevalent means the internet culture is with corporate life nowadays I could totally see this happening
I have an extremely distinct memory of tracing the logo, cornucopia and all, exactly as it appears in recreations. Most mandela effects are easily explained away as faulty human memory, but this one drives me insane whenever I remember it.
yeah man there is totally a parallel universe for an underwear logo you arent crazy its all a conspiracy to hide the cornucopia because..... uh.... reasons... yeah its totally not just false memories that we have scientifically proven happen all the time. you know that time you lost your car keys??? you didnt lose them it was a parallel universe you fell through where your keys were in a different place!!! totally real and not BS!!!

Most people probably saw the fake logo and it just looked right so they get the thought that thats the way it always was But theres a lot of evidence to show people have remembered it that way anyway which is so crazy to me
Mandela effect does not affect everyone which is why a consensus will never be attained, on one side you have people who remember things differently and know for a fact their memory isn't false, on the other side you have non-affected people calling us crazy because they just aren't affected so they don't have the same memory. These logo's and random things changing are just scraping the surface tho, for me i spent 20 years of my life on one version of earth, and the last 3 on a totally different one. Still don't know why it changed tho, and impossible that it's just false memories, literally impossible, especially since most of my family remembers the same earth i do. Not all tho, which is why it's so difficult for the unaffected people to understand what we're going trough.
The Fruit of the Loom logo is literally the only “Mandela Effect” I have ever felt even slightly concerned about. All the others are very easily explained away by human error (common) or weird multiple versions (rare). This… this is the only one that stands out. It’s also the only one where I distinctly remember the “other” version. I fully remember that cornucopia, in that exact configuration. Like all the Berenstain Bears and Febreze and monocle Monopoly man ones are “Huh? Really? Whelp, I remembered that one wrong…” but I fucking *remember* that cornucopia. What the actual hell…
Right??? Because this is one thing I can remember and many others as well? So why do millions of us think the fruit of the loom logo had the cornucopia?? What’s the answer? So if so, what’s the reason behind all of us so many people have this confusion? What’s the answer of why we are mistaking it to be with the cornucopia? So wild I’m actually concerned 😂
No because I distinctly remember owning a pair of school shorts as a child with the cornucopia and wondering what it was like I refuse to believe my mind somehow made that up
The strangest thing to me is that the drawing is EXACTLY what it looked like. It’s not like I remember a cornucopia, but the drawing isn’t how I pictured it. The cornucopia is drawn COMPLETELY the same.
@@Astrothunder_ it’s not that it’s unreliable it’s just been optimised through millions of years of evolutionary programming to min-max certain traits to ensure you manage to survive long enough to reproduce offspring. Remembering the logo on your underwear probably isn’t going to help you in that sense.
if anything, that is proof that it never existed. If there was no real cornucopia, then it would be easier to trick your brain into thinking it was one particular drawing of one. This kind of memory manipulation has been documented and tested over and over again
@@YesHumphreyAppleby yes, and my younger brother does too. I asked him to describe the fruit of the loom logo and first thing he said was “well there was this horn or something”
My friend said he had Fruit of the moon clothing with the cornucopia when he was younger. When asking his mom, she confirmed the cornucopia and said they she used to get knock off clothing for cheaper at the local flea market. This is a big factor I think some of these brand Mandela effects can be explained with. Just figured I’d share this thought.
That still doesn't explain how no one has been able to produce a single piece of clothing with the cornucopia on it. If these off-brands were common enough to fool so many people, then there should still be plenty floating around.
I had a similar experience. I too remember the horn being part of the logo. Then recently I purchased shirts of this brand and noticed the horn was gone. I assumed it was just a redesign. Watching this video about the horn never even existing was surprising.
I would trust your gut. I am open to the multiple realties theory and I think we’ve bumped heads with another slightly different one, but those of a certain mind didn’t fall perfectly in track.
If you distinctly remember it, then why would you just believe that you're wrong because someone says you are? Watch the movie Gaslight.... And then ask yourself if you feel like Ingrid Bergman.
Man, I remember sitting in front of the TV over 30 years ago seeing a FotL commercial, thinking that the cornucopia was the "loom", and asking my mom what it was - and that was when I learned what a cornucopia was, just like you said so many other people remember learning what it was.
I remember folding laundry in the 90s, seeing the logo with the cornucopia on a tag on a white tshirt, thinking how weird it is to have a fruit basket on non-food item.... no one can convince me that didn't happen. I looked at it in a lot of detail.😅
Honestly, my best bet is that the logo wasn't consistent not in terms of time but how it was used. The cornucopia was never on the apparel itself but it was used in advertising.
Exactly. I am from Germany and I remember what must have been the late 80s as I was just learning English and didn't know the word 'loom', so I looked it up in a dictionary and was confused because I was expecting to find something like the German word for 'cornucopia'.
@@adrianpaul1985 It’s someone who put a stock image that looked closest to the fruit of the loom artstyle, desciribing what they thought it looked like. It’s not important to find who made the image
That's why premises are completely irrelevant to whether a work of fiction is good or not, even though most people will attribute a lot of weight to the premise when discussing why they like something or when deciding whether they should check something out.
I distinctly remember that cornucopia too. I'm starting to believe that in the mid-90s, when I was still a young kid, there was another brand of "something" out there that had this rip-off fruit-of-the-loom logo with a cornucopia. It might have not even been a clothing brand, it might have actually just been fruit. But I remember seeing that logo.
It's weird... after the first time I watched this, I inquired about the _Fruit of the Loom_ logo to my dad while visiting him. Figured since he was born in the early 60's, that he was old enough to give an interesting response, and he doesn't use the internet so his recollection wouldn't be tainted by people discussing the phenomenon. I did my best to not prime his mind, and to let his recollection be his own. He, too, recalled the cornucopia, but here's the kicker: "cornucopia" wasn't a term he was very familiar with. When I talked to him about it, I had to explain to him what a cornucopia was. The term he himself had used for the object was "Loom", as in "Yeah, [that brown basket thing is] the Loom", which makes me wonder if there was some prominent TV show or movie in the past that made a joke about the "Loom" in _Fruit of the Loom_ being a cornucopia or basket. And from there, the thought jumped culturally from person to person until it had infected everyone's mind with the idea. A "meme' in the literal sense. I can almost see the scene and hear the dialogue in my mind, it feels like a natural joke to make. I dunno.
If it interests you, i'm a native spanish speaker and even though most of the media that i watch is in english i have no idea what a Loom is And i never paid much attention to the logo but whenever i read "fruit of the loom" first thing to pop in my head was the fruits not in a cornucopia but in a kind of glass bowl (more like a plate than a bowl idk how to explain it) because that's how generally my mother displays the fruit on the table So maybe people that remembers the cornucopia didn't know what a loom is either and their brain just went to how fruit was displayed in their home
@@elielsolares8695 I think that's a reasonable hypothesis. For reference, a loom is a large device that weaves yarn together into a fabric. "Fruit of the Loom" is a reference to how their product is produced using looms. "- is the fruit of -" is an archaic English saying for "this one thing is derived from another", in reference to fruit being from trees. In other words the company's products are "fruit of the loom". Even though a loom (or modern versions of such) are vital products to modern society, they are rarely encountered by day to day people. It's not too surprising for even a native speaker to be unaware of what a "loom" is, exactly. On another note, I know exactly what you mean by fruit being displayed in a bowl-like glass container, because that is also a somewhat common way of displaying fruit in the US. Though you will usually see fake plastic fruit (for decorative purposes), rather than real ones. Using a real cornucopia to display produce isn't common at all except for maybe on Thanksgiving or similar holidays during the Fall season. Even then, you usually see it in pictures or art rather than an actual, physical one. I imagine it was more common many decades ago, but probably not for nearly a century. Which still begs the question: "Why did their minds go to a cornucopia, rather than a glass bowl or plate like you described?"
@@the_real_Kurt_Yarish I actually just recently learned what a cornucopia is, and I still remember the cornucopia even though I had never heard of one before. Also, the drawing of the cornucopia is the exact same version everyone else remembers. Weird, isn't it?
@@Umkarz Bro, the Mandela Effect usually doesn't affect me, like I know for a fact Pikachu never had black on the tip of his tail, but the cornucopia is definitely vivid in my mind. But even while I was watching this video, my mind began to question itself, wondering if I ever had thought there was one there to begin with, or I if I just THOUGHT I thought there was one there... 🤔
I remember the cornucopia on the fruit of the loom logo but my memory of seeing was always on the outer packaging that would be discarded. I even remember a conversation with my brother after our parents bought a pack for us about the “brown thing in the background” and you showing the image of the logo with it in the background is spooky to me. That’s exactly how I remember it looking. One day, I noticed a package and thought “oh they must have gotten rid of the brown thing in the back”. It’s the one mandela effect that really creeps me out.
I have always remembered the cornucopia being on the outer cardboard packaging as well. I haven't owned a pair since being a kid (in the early 2000s). My best guess is that they must have used the cornucopia on that outer cardboard packaging and not the tag on the underwear. You guys aren't the only ones.
the weirdest part for me is that here in england we dont really have cornocopias, and when i showed my mom a picture of a cornocopia she referred to it as a loom because of the logo. i myself also remember it being in the logo, so very strange
I blame elementary school Thanksgiving decorations and books. I've seen more cornucopias in my time in elementary school than I have in the other 16 years of my life
Same here, except it actually will happen in the future when I start to missremember my underwear purchases due to the sheer amount of information I consumed in this video and in the comment section. My body is ready.
I'm from germany. Fruit of the Loom is a brand that I've only come across in recent years (about 5 years ago I didn't even know it existed), despite this I can distinctly remember the Cornucopia in the Logo and being mind-boggled once I've found out via Mandela Effect Videos that it does not and never did have the Cornucopia there. Thanksgiving is a holiday which is not being practised a lot here and any equivalents rarely have that specific kind of basket depicted. What freaks me out about it the most, is how the "mock-up" version of the Logo with the Cornucopia depicted is straight up 100% exactly how I remembered it, perfect placement, colouring and artstyle.
Ya it’s fucked. I asked my mom as a kid what that weird thing was. That’s where I learned it from. And yes it’s weird that the random photoshop that made it right is so so right so close to what I remember it to be. Weird huh
Exactly, not only did i remember their being this cornucopia thing in the picture but the cornucopia in the fake logo is picture perfect of how I remember it.
i know there was one bc i wanted one of their shirts so bad, i was 13 and when i got it i saw the logo on the shirt i sat 15 minutes on the floor in my room loking at the logo bc i didnt underatand what the Cornucopia was back then so i looked at it very closely for an extended amount of time so i know that it was there FOR A FACT. and then 5-6 years later i saw it on a mandela effects video on yt and i was 100% sure they are false bc i will always remember it bc it was my first shirt from them and i looked at the logo SOO much.. SO i went to get the same shirt i got when i was 13 from my closet and somehow the Cornucopia wasn't there anymore. it shook me to my core and i couldnt stop thinking ab it for WEEKS. bc i KNOW for a fact there was one. it is creepy as hell and i don't know if we will ever be able to understand this. but i know every detail of it perfectly bc i looked at the logo sooo much. its a vivid memory for me it was my first shirt from them and i will never forget it.
I don’t think I’ve ever looked at the Fruit of the Loom logo before in my life, but honestly I think that the Cornucopia version looks better. Just a more complete image, I don’t know. Maybe opinions like that have something to do with this phenomenon.
The kid jiffy one makes extra sense too because of jiffy muffin mix. It’s totally likely they’re mixing the name of the jiffy box onto the jif peanut butter jar.
Ok but that jazz album cover from the 70s actually freaked me out. That means we’re almost at the 50 year mark of believing this cornucopia existed when we have ample evidence (i.e. any pair of fruit of the loom underwear) to show that it doesn’t.
I don’t think that’s the most logical interpretation of that album cover. It’s far more likely that the guy just wanted to put something music-related on the cover and thought that a cornucopia would fit well with the rest of the image.
@@lulhad Incorrect. I’m 13 and the video was the first ever time I’ve saw that album cover. However, I still remember the Cornucopia on the Fruit of the Loom Logo. That exact cornucopia drawing. I’m personally a believer of the “Seasonal Variant” Theory, where during autumn they sold a different logo on the underwear.
@@officersoulknight6321 Unlikely. We have no material evidence of any kind that a variant was sold using the cornucopia. Our memories are more susceptible to suggestion than we think, it's very easy to convince someone they remember something that they actually do not. If enough people insist that they remember it with the cornucopia, then you might start remembering it that way too.
I feel like a fact a lot of people look over when it comes to the Mandela effect is the media bias, certain misrememberings are present all throughout TV and can greatly influence memories.
Human memory is straight up terrible, almost everything you see everywhere influences your memory of everything else, because it’s a monky brain designed to recognize predators. I’m sure 99% of the people claiming to have seen the cornucopia logo just saw some Thanksgiving clip art that looked similar
This one scares me, because when I realized there was never a cornucopia, I'm pretty sure I was alone. I just found out looking at my underwear one day. It just wasnt there
I remember buying some new shirts and seeing it without it. I was like, "huh, they removed the cornucopia." I cannot be convinced that it was not there.
In my memory -- there was a cornucopia. I also remember specifically looking at a Fruit of a Loom product years ago, and wondering when they changed the logo. I had merely assumed they were rebranding their logo for a modern generation.
yeah man there is totally a parallel universe for an underwear logo you arent crazy its all a conspiracy to hide the cornucopia because..... uh.... reasons... yeah its totally not just false memories that we have scientifically proven happen all the time. you know that time you lost your car keys??? you didnt lose them it was a parallel universe you fell through where your keys were in a different place!!! totally real and not BS!!!
Wait thats true! I've been thinking why fruit of the loom sounds like a familiar brand even tho i've never used them. I've bought some shirts from the flea markets!
Seriously?! I live in the Midwest, and all I've ever associated Fruit of the Loom with is underwear and white undershirts. If I wore a t-shirt with their branding, it would be like...an underwear shirt.
I remember that as a child i called cornucopias "looms" and i only stopped after i read hunger games, discovered what a cornucopia was and what a loom was, and adjusted my lexicon. I don't know why i would think of cornucopias as looms unless it's based on the fruit of the loom logo.
I swear sometime in elementary school they made us colour what looked like the fruit of the loom with the cornucopia during thanksgiving and that’s why it’s in my memory.
same situation with me but then I went home and I asked my parents what that viking horn was suppose to be and they said it was a cornucopia. I asked like on the commercial (had no clue it was for underwear, I just new it involved a loom) ? They said yes. the memory was strong because they spend a long time helping me pronounce cornucopia and I proceeded to impress my friends and sisters by telling them the word every time I saw the image on TV.
Even though i didn't know about the company until i learned about this effect, i recognized the logo with the cornucopia way more than the one without when i first saw it. I think the color palette just looks more complete with the brown.
Here's the thing. Before you even put the cornucopia on screen, I had the EXACT mental outline of it where it should've been. Same size, position, slightly lighter colors than I remember, THAT is bizarre.
And the same exact shape. The tail continuing to curl a bit at its end, the thickness of the ribbing, the amount of taper in width along the length... Exactly how I recalled it.
@@numbersbubble That would be the most logical answer but if you search for old old pictures of the fruit of the loom logo you’ll notice that no one picture has a cornucopia in it. So, it’s very weird how not one person on the earth has a single picture of the fruit of the loom logo with a cornucopia. So obviously “12345 678” that’s not the answer to this mandala affect.
"Meet the folks who remember New Zealand being in a different place," I've met them and here we just call them kids who didn't pay attention in geography.
There's surprisingly many world maps or illustrations that outright miss New Zealand (there's a subreddit for it and that made it into the and there was an IKEA map forgetting them in early 2019, that should be easy to find in the news archives). Who'll really notice if they shift up by a couple hundred kilometres? Hell, switch them with Japan and people won't even notice.
What I find as odd (other than the cornucopia missing) is when people draw the fruit of the loom logo with the cornucopia, they make it exactly like it used to be. How can everybody create a logo for Fruit of the Loom that never existed exactly the way it used to exist???
5:50 is the most interesting. Because why would he have the flute positioned in such a way? If the original image (that he is parodying) never had the cornucopia, then why would he randomly make the flute behind the fruit look EXACTLY like one?
Thank you! I would believe that we are all just misremembering it if it wasn't for the physical evidence that was shown from the past. Surely the artist that drew the parody looked at the original while he was painting!!! Why would the artist introduce this new feature into the parody? I am baffled.
@@liquid1661 Because it's an easy way to make the image about music. Why would the artist making a musical parody of a logo not put anything in it related to music?
The weird thing for me is, I can genuinely remember when I turned 13-14 and thought to myself “since when did they take the loom(cornucopia)part off the logo?” But I also remember a time where I would compare my Tshirts and some had the cornucopia and some didn’t, which led me to believe one was a replica
You really had shirts with the cornucopia and without at the same time? When did the change happen for you? For me it changed around 2003/2004. I haven't seen it after that.
@@Schnipp08I remember the change in like 2015…since everyone’s times are way off it’s definitely just a Mandela effect. Maybe when I actually payed attention to the logo that’s when I came to think that they changed it when it fact it never had it.
I feel like we've all misremembered this logo. But I know people who have remembered it as different things. I remember there being a harp. Two of my friends remembered an actual loom depicted behind the fruit. And then my other two friends remember a cornucopia. None of us remembered just fruit. I also feel stupid for thinking it would have been a harp. Why the fuck would I think they'd put a harp on a logo about fruit? Honestly this is the only time I'm at a loss of explaining a mandela effect. I am absolutely stumped.
@@user-hf9hf6hw8j why not? when you're not paying attention, the brain pretty much makes up what's there (to some extent), and recent experiences/weird connections could make them think of a harp for some reason
@@user-hf9hf6hw8j I never remembered this logo having a cornucopia. But after watching this I can't not think about it. I thought it was a bundle of fruit displayed on some grape vine.

@@johnr797 Instead of just mocking what is widely accepted as the most scientific theory, why don't you explain what you think happened? If it's the multiverse shit, please explain how that is a more sensible explanation than faulty memories. Don't forget to account for the fact that 90% of other Mandela Effects are easily explained with current knowledge of how memory works (see the evidenced phenomenas of suggestibility, memory bias and misattribution) all while we are in the relative infancy of cognitive science and understanding how memory is stored in the brain. So again, explain why thinking that the beings that share 99.9% of their genetic code and have virtually the same neural structure might, through some undiscovered mechanism, have similar false memories of mundane, unimportant things that they typically last thought about 15+ years ago. People really want to throw out hundreds of years of progress from the scientific method because of course the multiverse would definitely reveal itself on their childhood underwear lmfao.
I'm not entirely surprised that people keep recalling seeing a brown smudge on their undergarments. The fact they recall it being around the logo, that's the worrisome part.
it's so insignificant that a few people genuinely misremembering it and posting about it spreads false memories to thousands and thousands of people who proceed to repeat this process
My first thought was that I didn't remember the cornucopia, but it started to look right to me the more I saw it. Something about it just feels intuitive enough to get lodged in people's memory, so you're probably right!
@@TheWhoniversalMan just goes to show how easy it is to fool ppl. Just tell them things used to look a certain way and all of a sudden ppl start thinking that. It’s not very mysterious.
@@Cavs191 I remembered the cornucopia before I ever saw the Mandela effect version. I honestly have no idea how so many people could have the same experience, I remember wearing Fruit of the Loom underwear as a kid and wondering what that weird horn shape next to the fruit is.

At the start of this video, when you put up the logo without a cornucopia several times, it was exactly how I remembered it. By the end of it, both versions felt natural. I think the cornucopia is natural enough around fruit in our heads that whenever we hear someone else's anecdote about it or even any related anything that suggests it had one, it immediately became ascribed to it.
I think it’s possible that the arrangement of the fruit alludes to the existence of a cornucopia. I had never seen the logo before this video, though I’d heard of the brand, and the cornucopia being there just looks *right*. Perhaps there’s some artistic explanation similar to the line of action that alludes to a cornucopia-like shape, and our brains already associate fruit with the cornucopia specifically, allowing for that to take precedence over, say, a bugle.
Yeah I feel like there’s more to analyze here from an art theory perspective. I also wonder if it has something to do with the sort of rustic art style that alludes to antique items like cornucopias?
interesting. thats very much a thing with art, especially in music, a lot of music composition teachers stress the importance of implying things to an audience, forming things around an idea so that you can suggest an idea without ever actually directly presenting it. seems like what youre talking about.
@@TH-camPizzer It's very much plausible that people saw an image of some fruit with a cornucopia as a kid, asked "What's that horn-thingy?" and then later misattributed that image to the Fruits of the Loom logo.
Yeah I feel like the whole analysis hinges on the idea that the cornucopia couldn’t just be an easily assumed and implied thing, which IMO it totally is. It honestly doesn’t feel any different to the example given of say a monocle on the monopoly man
Will never be able to convince me it never had a cornucopia. I distinctly remember asking my mom what fruit "that brown one" was at the store in the early 90's, learning then what it was, and then later that same year feeling a childish sense of pride when correctly naming it in class during a Thanksgiving activity. The combination of that proud moment while secretly knowing that "knowledge" was based on underwear (which at that age would have been embarrassing to admit) caused both events to simultaneously register as one significant-enough memory.
jelly darling 1 second ago Had a very similar memory. Saw the fruit of the loom on Tv as a Kid asked my parents what the brown thing was and struggled saying the word for a while. Cornucopia is a hard word for a young kid. Because that logo was the only thing I associated the object with I think thats why I remembered the conversation so vividly
I'd say in my personal experience. The Fruit logo was always just the fruits. But I think my memory included the Cornucopia because it was there whenever I got one to color in from kindergarten as some Thanksgiving activity.
Definitely. Cornucopias used to be a ubiquitous Thanksgiving decoration. My mom always put one on the dining table. School decorations always had them. I colored many of those activity sheets in elementary grades.
I think this is the most logical response. I remember the loom, personality. But I also remember seeing fruits and vegetables in looms a lot during Thanksgiving.
Hmm that would also explain why the logo with the stock cornucopia looks exactly what people remember because worksheets would have the stock cornucopia as well.
Fruit of the Loom is literally the only reason I knew what a cornucopia was before hunger games and have memories asking my parents what it was because I'd seen it on the logo. I genuinely don't think there's any other place I might have even encountered the subject.
"We tend to remember whatever we find important, fascinating, or unique".

I grew up in the UK, had some fruit of the loom undershirts. I had never seen a cornucupia anywhere else, always thought that thing was called a loom. My brain would not have been able to make a connection to Thanksgiving because Thanksgiving imagery basically doesn't exist in Europe, why would it? We don't even have any holidays similar to it, not that I know of at least. This whole mystery really bugs me lol
@@mintsaucemilitia im saying that it never had a cornucopia on the logo and the op is saying that they remembered it when they were younger. And I'm saying they misremembered.

So yea, I have all the evidence. What don't you get?
I grew up in Canada and only knew what a cornucopia was from the FOTL tags. It wasn’t a common thanksgiving object where I grew up. The mockup logo on here is EXACTLY how I remember it. I thought they had rebranded
Im from canada too. The logo i remember had vines or something coming outmof the cornucopia. I think theres some kind of canadian thanksgiving product logo for a produce company or something that looks similar enough to fruit of the loom that wires got crossed somewhere.
I'd bet you anything it was from Microsoft Word clip art or something like that. I tried finding the collection of clip art from Word 2003 but apparently it was all online, and Microsoft took it down many years ago. But from the depths of my memory I seem to remember papers in elementary school having a very similar image on them, probably printed around Thanksgiving. If so, I wouldn't be surprised if so many people were exposed to it because was everyone likely assigned to write papers about Thanksgiving as a child, and clip-art was the cool thing to use. So kids probably saw it used in school fliers and stuff, if not their own papers. There was probably one top result every time someone searched for "Thanksgiving" clip art so a ton of people used it. Just a theory though, yall can tell me if this rings any bells. UPDATE May 2023: I was able to find a copy of the original MS Word clipart database - someone put it on the Internet Archive site, and you can find it if you Google "Microsoft Clipart Collection SVG". On there they also have a link to a searchable page. There are definitely plenty of cornucopias when you search "Thanksgiving". As for why it's still the case for people outside the USA, the cornucopia images also seem to appear when you search "holiday", "fall", "autumn", "fruit", "food", "seasons", and other keywords. So that definitely could have still been it.
I think it predates MS Word; I mean as far as memory can be trusted anyway. I distinctly remember learning what a cornucopia was from finding an image of one in a clipart library I used some time in the 90s; could have been WordPerfect, Harvard Graphics or Aldus (now Adobe) PageMaker. Maybe CorelDraw, but I think it was before that.
I'm from England so it's not possible that Thanksgiving had anything to do with why I vividly remember the cornucopia, yet I still do despite only seeing the logo once or twice
Not just Ms word, but yeah this prob makes the most sense. Elementary school work for Thanksgiving, cuz that's when most kids in the us even learned what a cornucopia is
@@caocaoholdingaplushie6022 yeah thats a movie mate. If they put the real logo, they get sued if they havent paid first, so they have to change the logo (like add a cornucopia) to have it be considered parody.
The logo just looks like it should have a cornucopia on it. Frankly, it looks somewhat lacking without it. Seeing fruit coming out of a cornucopia is the most logical association you could make.
I totally agree. It seems like an easy mistake to make to me. Why would there just be a bunch of fruit in a pile and not in a cornucopia? Or a bowl? Or a tree? A hand? Anything!
I distinctly remember seeing the cornucopia on my underwear in kindergarten getting ready for school in the morning 😂 it was one of the more complicated words I learned early on
As an Australian I have never heard of this company nor seen their logo. As soon as I saw the logo it looked like it was missing something though, it seems too wide.
So when I saw this video, I was like "Oh, Emp is probably tackling something about the company" and then 30 seconds in, I realized, "Oh wait, this is Emp."
This goes for everyone, just because a lot of people believe something, doesn't make it true. So just because you and a lot of others remember something used to look like something else, doesn't mean you're right.

As a British person, I have owned exactly one fruit of the loom product in my life and distinctly remember seeing a cornucopia on it, and it was even the first time I'd ever seen one. I still have the same shirt but going back to it, the logo just doesn't have the cornucopia on it. I feel like I'm going crazy
This makes sense if it's a quantum jump from one timeline to another. In one timeline the logo designer liked the cornucopia but in the next timeline the logo designer decided against it. Everything else is the same in the new timeline but the reason that detail is different is because it's outside of your influence. You didn't make it and you don't own the concept art so its susceptible to change
Exactly the same for me. How the hell are we adding something to a logo we don't even have in our culture??

I was a child when I learned the word Cornucopia, I asked my mom what the thing was on the logo on the underwear pack she bought me. She said it’s a decorative horn. My father corrected her and said it’s called a Cornucopia. He said it’s just a table decoration. This memory is crystal clear and there’s no way it wasn’t there.

I remember when I heard about the Mandela effect and someone said the cornucopia was part of it and I was like, “what people think the cornucopia isn’t there?” Only to feel horrified that the controversy is that the cornucopia actually apparently never existed.

Mandela effect does not affect everyone which is why a consensus will never be attained, on one side you have people who remember things differently and know for a fact their memory isn't false, on the other side you have non-affected people calling us crazy because they just aren't affected so they don't have the same memory.
These logo's and random things changing are just scraping the surface tho, for me i spent 20 years of my life on one version of earth, and the last 3 on a totally different one. Still don't know why it changed tho, and impossible that it's just false memories, literally impossible, especially since most of my family remembers the same earth i do. Not all tho, which is why it's so difficult for the unaffected people to understand what we're going trough.
@@BxPanda7 give me some examples what things have changed for you?
The Fruit of the Loom logo is literally the only “Mandela Effect” I have ever felt even slightly concerned about.
All the others are very easily explained away by human error (common) or weird multiple versions (rare). This… this is the only one that stands out.
It’s also the only one where I distinctly remember the “other” version. I fully remember that cornucopia, in that exact configuration. Like all the Berenstain Bears and Febreze and monocle Monopoly man ones are “Huh? Really? Whelp, I remembered that one wrong…” but I fucking *remember* that cornucopia. What the actual hell…

@@Astrothunder_ it’s not that it’s unreliable it’s just been optimised through millions of years of evolutionary programming to min-max certain traits to ensure you manage to survive long enough to reproduce offspring.

if anything, that is proof that it never existed. If there was no real cornucopia, then it would be easier to trick your brain into thinking it was one particular drawing of one. This kind of memory manipulation has been documented and tested over and over again

Man, I remember sitting in front of the TV over 30 years ago seeing a FotL commercial, thinking that the cornucopia was the "loom", and asking my mom what it was - and that was when I learned what a cornucopia was, just like you said so many other people remember learning what it was.
I remember folding laundry in the 90s, seeing the logo with the cornucopia on a tag on a white tshirt, thinking how weird it is to have a fruit basket on non-food item.... no one can convince me that didn't happen. I looked at it in a lot of detail.😅
Honestly, my best bet is that the logo wasn't consistent not in terms of time but how it was used. The cornucopia was never on the apparel itself but it was used in advertising.
Exactly. I am from Germany and I remember what must have been the late 80s as I was just learning English and didn't know the word 'loom', so I looked it up in a dictionary and was confused because I was expecting to find something like the German word for 'cornucopia'.

I distinctly remember that cornucopia too. I'm starting to believe that in the mid-90s, when I was still a young kid, there was another brand of "something" out there that had this rip-off fruit-of-the-loom logo with a cornucopia. It might have not even been a clothing brand, it might have actually just been fruit. But I remember seeing that logo.
That’s a possibility. Or it was a limited time promotion thing
It's weird... after the first time I watched this, I inquired about the _Fruit of the Loom_ logo to my dad while visiting him. Figured since he was born in the early 60's, that he was old enough to give an interesting response, and he doesn't use the internet so his recollection wouldn't be tainted by people discussing the phenomenon. I did my best to not prime his mind, and to let his recollection be his own. He, too, recalled the cornucopia, but here's the kicker: "cornucopia" wasn't a term he was very familiar with. When I talked to him about it, I had to explain to him what a cornucopia was. The term he himself had used for the object was "Loom", as in "Yeah, [that brown basket thing is] the Loom", which makes me wonder if there was some prominent TV show or movie in the past that made a joke about the "Loom" in _Fruit of the Loom_ being a cornucopia or basket. And from there, the thought jumped culturally from person to person until it had infected everyone's mind with the idea. A "meme' in the literal sense. I can almost see the scene and hear the dialogue in my mind, it feels like a natural joke to make. I dunno.
If it interests you, i'm a native spanish speaker and even though most of the media that i watch is in english i have no idea what a Loom is
And i never paid much attention to the logo but whenever i read "fruit of the loom" first thing to pop in my head was the fruits not in a cornucopia but in a kind of glass bowl (more like a plate than a bowl idk how to explain it) because that's how generally my mother displays the fruit on the table
So maybe people that remembers the cornucopia didn't know what a loom is either and their brain just went to how fruit was displayed in their home
@@elielsolares8695 I think that's a reasonable hypothesis. For reference, a loom is a large device that weaves yarn together into a fabric. "Fruit of the Loom" is a reference to how their product is produced using looms. "- is the fruit of -" is an archaic English saying for "this one thing is derived from another", in reference to fruit being from trees. In other words the company's products are "fruit of the loom".
Even though a loom (or modern versions of such) are vital products to modern society, they are rarely encountered by day to day people. It's not too surprising for even a native speaker to be unaware of what a "loom" is, exactly.
On another note, I know exactly what you mean by fruit being displayed in a bowl-like glass container, because that is also a somewhat common way of displaying fruit in the US. Though you will usually see fake plastic fruit (for decorative purposes), rather than real ones. Using a real cornucopia to display produce isn't common at all except for maybe on Thanksgiving or similar holidays during the Fall season. Even then, you usually see it in pictures or art rather than an actual, physical one. I imagine it was more common many decades ago, but probably not for nearly a century. Which still begs the question: "Why did their minds go to a cornucopia, rather than a glass bowl or plate like you described?"

I'm from germany. Fruit of the Loom is a brand that I've only come across in recent years (about 5 years ago I didn't even know it existed), despite this I can distinctly remember the Cornucopia in the Logo and being mind-boggled once I've found out via Mandela Effect Videos that it does not and never did have the Cornucopia there. Thanksgiving is a holiday which is not being practised a lot here and any equivalents rarely have that specific kind of basket depicted. What freaks me out about it the most, is how the "mock-up" version of the Logo with the Cornucopia depicted is straight up 100% exactly how I remembered it, perfect placement, colouring and artstyle.
Ya it’s fucked. I asked my mom as a kid what that weird thing was. That’s where I learned it from. And yes it’s weird that the random photoshop that made it right is so so right so close to what I remember it to be. Weird huh
Exactly, not only did i remember their being this cornucopia thing in the picture but the cornucopia in the fake logo is picture perfect of how I remember it.

SO i went to get the same shirt i got when i was 13 from my closet and somehow the Cornucopia wasn't there anymore. it shook me to my core and i couldnt stop thinking ab it for WEEKS. bc i KNOW for a fact there was one. it is creepy as hell and i don't know if we will ever be able to understand this. but i know every detail of it perfectly bc i looked at the logo sooo much. its a vivid memory for me it was my first shirt from them and i will never forget it.
No you don't remember it being there. You're mistaken.
I don’t think I’ve ever looked at the Fruit of the Loom logo before in my life, but honestly I think that the Cornucopia version looks better. Just a more complete image, I don’t know. Maybe opinions like that have something to do with this phenomenon.
The 'recreation' is way too good. Fits the artstyle so exactly that you feel like it needs to be there. This is not a good thing.

Ok but that jazz album cover from the 70s actually freaked me out. That means we’re almost at the 50 year mark of believing this cornucopia existed when we have ample evidence (i.e. any pair of fruit of the loom underwear) to show that it doesn’t.
I don’t think that’s the most logical interpretation of that album cover. It’s far more likely that the guy just wanted to put something music-related on the cover and thought that a cornucopia would fit well with the rest of the image.
@@ewb8985 Yes, and that's probably where most people got the idea of a cornucopia being in the logo in the first place.

In my memory -- there was a cornucopia. I also remember specifically looking at a Fruit of a Loom product years ago, and wondering when they changed the logo. I had merely assumed they were rebranding their logo for a modern generation.
Its in the san marino grocery in the casino movie
yeah man there is totally a parallel universe for an underwear logo you arent crazy its all a conspiracy to hide the cornucopia because..... uh.... reasons... yeah its totally not just false memories that we have scientifically proven happen all the time. you know that time you lost your car keys??? you didnt lose them it was a parallel universe you fell through where your keys were in a different place!!! totally real and not BS!!!
They always had both with and without it, but some reason only advertised without it. At least majority of the ads did.
This 💯. I noticed when it changed too and just thought they were changing their logo
Same.
I had no idea fruit of the loom made underwear, in the UK I think they’re more commonly associated with custom branded t-shirts
Wait thats true! I've been thinking why fruit of the loom sounds like a familiar brand even tho i've never used them. I've bought some shirts from the flea markets!
yeah think my PE shirt in school was fruit of the loom and im sure it had a cornucopia so weird
Seriously?! I live in the Midwest, and all I've ever associated Fruit of the Loom with is underwear and white undershirts. If I wore a t-shirt with their branding, it would be like...an underwear shirt.
Absolutely, like pe kits and kids clubs uniforms
@@irishjet2687 nah they didn't have the fruit logo on it, it was just a fruit of the loop brand t-shirt with a print on the front for something else.
I remember that as a child i called cornucopias "looms" and i only stopped after i read hunger games, discovered what a cornucopia was and what a loom was, and adjusted my lexicon. I don't know why i would think of cornucopias as looms unless it's based on the fruit of the loom logo.

Tbh sounds legit
same situation with me but then I went home and I asked my parents what that viking horn was suppose to be and they said it was a cornucopia. I asked like on the commercial (had no clue it was for underwear, I just new it involved a loom) ? They said yes. the memory was strong because they spend a long time helping me pronounce cornucopia and I proceeded to impress my friends and sisters by telling them the word every time I saw the image on TV.
Oh wow, that makes a lot of sense actually
Thats exactly what I was thinking, that people took the fruit of the loom logo and used it as a reference to make images with cornucopias of fruit.
It’s so funny you mention the part about calling a cornucopia a “loom” because I swear I had the exact same experience
Me too
Me too

Me too, that's how I learned what both a loom and a cornucopia were
Very odd, I had to learn the difference after thinking the object in the logo was a loom for years
Even though i didn't know about the company until i learned about this effect, i recognized the logo with the cornucopia way more than the one without when i first saw it. I think the color palette just looks more complete with the brown.
Here's the thing.
Before you even put the cornucopia on screen, I had the EXACT mental outline of it where it should've been. Same size, position, slightly lighter colors than I remember, THAT is bizarre.

The real conspiracy is how this dude went from making YTPS to full in mini documentaries
At the start of this video, when you put up the logo without a cornucopia several times, it was exactly how I remembered it. By the end of it, both versions felt natural. I think the cornucopia is natural enough around fruit in our heads that whenever we hear someone else's anecdote about it or even any related anything that suggests it had one, it immediately became ascribed to it.
I think it’s possible that the arrangement of the fruit alludes to the existence of a cornucopia. I had never seen the logo before this video, though I’d heard of the brand, and the cornucopia being there just looks *right*. Perhaps there’s some artistic explanation similar to the line of action that alludes to a cornucopia-like shape, and our brains already associate fruit with the cornucopia specifically, allowing for that to take precedence over, say, a bugle.
Yeah I feel like there’s more to analyze here from an art theory perspective. I also wonder if it has something to do with the sort of rustic art style that alludes to antique items like cornucopias?
interesting. thats very much a thing with art, especially in music, a lot of music composition teachers stress the importance of implying things to an audience, forming things around an idea so that you can suggest an idea without ever actually directly presenting it. seems like what youre talking about.
doesn't explain how people had memories of learning what a cornucopia is from the fruit of the loom logo though
@@TH-camPizzer It's very much plausible that people saw an image of some fruit with a cornucopia as a kid, asked "What's that horn-thingy?" and then later misattributed that image to the Fruits of the Loom logo.
Yeah I feel like the whole analysis hinges on the idea that the cornucopia couldn’t just be an easily assumed and implied thing, which IMO it totally is. It honestly doesn’t feel any different to the example given of say a monocle on the monopoly man
Will never be able to convince me it never had a cornucopia. I distinctly remember asking my mom what fruit "that brown one" was at the store in the early 90's, learning then what it was, and then later that same year feeling a childish sense of pride when correctly naming it in class during a Thanksgiving activity. The combination of that proud moment while secretly knowing that "knowledge" was based on underwear (which at that age would have been embarrassing to admit) caused both events to simultaneously register as one significant-enough memory.
Fake memory, man.

Had a very similar memory. Saw the fruit of the loom on Tv as a Kid asked my parents what the brown thing was and struggled saying the word for a while. Cornucopia is a hard word for a young kid. Because that logo was the only thing I associated the object with I think thats why I remembered the conversation so vividly
Me too!!!
I'd say in my personal experience. The Fruit logo was always just the fruits. But I think my memory included the Cornucopia because it was there whenever I got one to color in from kindergarten as some Thanksgiving activity.
I think this has to be it. Elementary school around thanksgiving had a bunch of worksheets with cornucopias and random groups of fruit.
Definitely. Cornucopias used to be a ubiquitous Thanksgiving decoration. My mom always put one on the dining table. School decorations always had them. I colored many of those activity sheets in elementary grades.
Yeah I am almost certain I saw this at school during Thanksgiving and related the imagery to the logo on my underwear lol
I think this is the most logical response. I remember the loom, personality. But I also remember seeing fruits and vegetables in looms a lot during Thanksgiving.
Hmm that would also explain why the logo with the stock cornucopia looks exactly what people remember because worksheets would have the stock cornucopia as well.
Fruit of the Loom is literally the only reason I knew what a cornucopia was before hunger games and have memories asking my parents what it was because I'd seen it on the logo. I genuinely don't think there's any other place I might have even encountered the subject.

I'd bet you anything it was from Microsoft Word clip art or something like that. I tried finding the collection of clip art from Word 2003 but apparently it was all online, and Microsoft took it down many years ago. But from the depths of my memory I seem to remember papers in elementary school having a very similar image on them, probably printed around Thanksgiving. If so, I wouldn't be surprised if so many people were exposed to it because was everyone likely assigned to write papers about Thanksgiving as a child, and clip-art was the cool thing to use. So kids probably saw it used in school fliers and stuff, if not their own papers. There was probably one top result every time someone searched for "Thanksgiving" clip art so a ton of people used it. Just a theory though, yall can tell me if this rings any bells.
UPDATE May 2023: I was able to find a copy of the original MS Word clipart database - someone put it on the Internet Archive site, and you can find it if you Google "Microsoft Clipart Collection SVG". On there they also have a link to a searchable page. There are definitely plenty of cornucopias when you search "Thanksgiving". As for why it's still the case for people outside the USA, the cornucopia images also seem to appear when you search "holiday", "fall", "autumn", "fruit", "food", "seasons", and other keywords. So that definitely could have still been it.
I think it predates MS Word; I mean as far as memory can be trusted anyway. I distinctly remember learning what a cornucopia was from finding an image of one in a clipart library I used some time in the 90s; could have been WordPerfect, Harvard Graphics or Aldus (now Adobe) PageMaker. Maybe CorelDraw, but I think it was before that.
I'm from England so it's not possible that Thanksgiving had anything to do with why I vividly remember the cornucopia, yet I still do despite only seeing the logo once or twice

Ya!
The logo just looks like it should have a cornucopia on it. Frankly, it looks somewhat lacking without it. Seeing fruit coming out of a cornucopia is the most logical association you could make.
I totally agree. It seems like an easy mistake to make to me. Why would there just be a bunch of fruit in a pile and not in a cornucopia? Or a bowl? Or a tree? A hand? Anything!
my theory is that since the fruit and the cornucopia are drawn in such a similar art style our brains combine it like the peanut butter thing
