    This one is freaky, but it just comes from the strong cultural association between imagery of big ol’ piles of produce and cornucopias. We expect one to be there so our brain tries to helpfully fill in the “gap” in our memory for us.

        I think also there’s some conflating happening with Thanksgiving images. Very often the fall veggies are arranged very similarly, and Thanksgiving images often do have a cornucopia. I even had a Thanksgiving sticker from a random event that basically looked exactly like I remembered Fruit of the Loom except it was corn and pumpkins and stuff.

      Wait your telling me it didn’t have the basket like thing? Could it be more likely they changed the logo?

          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?

                    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.

      But who drew the cornucopia???

      I can’t believe someone sketched that in to explain a Mandela event
