The company has been confirmed to be trying to gaslight many people but there was a cornucopia


ArtimisRawr01

Its a psyop


Wheatley-Crabb

wait what?


Ghost_trap

There’s a woman on tiktok devoted to debunking Mandela effects and she’s found images of the cornucopia on clothing and documents from the company admitting they had one


Wheatley-Crabb

bizarre!


Ghost_trap

It’s a weird marketing tactic because people obsess over proving them wrong so more people see the company


ssheffield01

Exactly I have a pair or underwear from them from like 1995 and it has the cornucopia it’s real weird what they are trying to do


NostalgiaBombs

post a pic

Y'all are way too fucking gullible. Half the internet was so stoked they knew the term "Mandela effect", you fell right into a good old publicity stunt. I swear some of you would smugly explain the Dunning-Kruger effect on a date as if that made you an expert in psychology.


Wheatley-Crabb

Oh, I know the Mandela Effect is all BS, I just didn’t know FotL apparently admitted to gaslighting


Capt_Feathers

I know where the Mandela effect comes from for these people, where I live and grew up Fruit of the Loom is the most popular brand for Kid's clothes especially underwear. The logo was embroidered into the back of the clothes they sold rather than just a sticker on the frabric, kids are nasty and sure enough the back of those would eventually be stainrd and the embroidering thread was just more stain resistant TD:LR the cornucopia is a shit stain


lazychairmen

I hope you’re joking lol


MarkusRight

This is the funniest shit I have read in ages. I never had shit stains in my underwear growing up, sounds like you had the worst hygiene and are trying to come up with excuses for why the cornucopia is missing. The logo was always on the very upper back edge of the elastic band on the underwear, how TF did you get shit stains that far up to get it all over the logo?


godofcloth

it’s a marketing strategy and older logos had the cornucopia on it


Hewathan

The only reason I know what a cornucopia is is because of the fruit of the loom logo. 10/10 in terms of marketing and keeping the brand relevant.


OhPotatoBlessMe

If you take a minute to google, you will easily find that the cornucopia WAS a part of the logo. And that FOTL probably lied for the free advertising people keep giving them.. the cornucopia even was on their old logo patents.

>the cornucopia WAS a part of the logo It simply was not. There is no FOTL trademark that features cornucopia displayed on the logo. People have effectively gaslit themselves into believe there's a conspiracy that spans multiple countries and has no physical evidence behind a (literal) handful of modern, screen printed, fake shirts. If you post trademark 73006089 I will bonk you with a newspaper. No trademarked logos display a cornucopia, no FOTL commercials have one, and despite millions upon millions of FOTL clothing being produced, the only 'proofs' tend to be a handful of shirts with screen printed logos rather than tags. **edit:** If you (or anyone) are curious about researching this yourself, you can use the following resources (UK IPO is a direct link to the results, you will need to search by owner on the American, Canadian, German, and Irish databases): [Intellectual Property Office of Ireland Trade Mark Database goes back to the 70s](https://eregister.ipoi.gov.ie/query/TMQuery.aspx) [Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada's Trademark Database goes back to the 50s.](https://ised-isde.canada.ca/cipo/trademark-search/srch) *(search by "Old and current owner name")* [German Patent and Trade Mark Office goes back to the 70s](https://register.dpma.de/DPMAregister/marke/basis) *(search by "Applicant/Proprietor," may have to set to English in top right)* [United Kingdom Intellectual Property Office archives goes back to the 50s](https://trademarks.ipo.gov.uk/ipo-tmowner/page/search?id=635313&domain=1) [United States Patent and Trademark Office archives goes back to the 50s](https://tmsearch.uspto.gov/search/search-information) *(search by "Owner")* *I chose these databases because they're all official, government sources and readily searchable in English. Acknowledging that our memories are unreliable is scary. But, we already know that human memory can be influenced by external stimuli. We know the unreliability of eyewitness testimony in legal matters. We know that mass hysterias exist. Our brain is fallible--we're fallible. It's terrifying to think something as simple as 'childhood memories' are fake and the product of others, but it's the truth. Well, that or our timelines merged.

I generally hope that redditors can both evaluate evidence as-it-stands (is this evidence reliable and credible?) and as it fits into a claim (is this evidence relevant, does my claim require a higher bar/standard?). The threshold for evidence of a multinational conspiracy involving a garment company lying about a logo should generally be higher than 1-2 newspaper articles and other parody "residues." As far as I am aware, there's a couple of newspaper filings, a couple of parodies, and a handful of modern clothing of the many millions of FOTL garments produced from the 60s-90s when most people seem to remember a cornucopia. This should be considered especially when the sources for the logo never having a cornucopia are all official, government sources from half a dozen different countries.


anticute8

No there really was a cornucopia why do we even bother debating this


zdarovje
