Was the. Morton Salt girl holding the umbrella with one or two hands? Nobody knows, nobody cares, but if you ask that question and show the current logo, people are going to swear she held it with both hands.
These usually trip me up, but not this one. I gotta hand it to Morton Salt here. They found a way to make sure I would remember exactly what their logo looks like.
They got rid of it to distance themselves from accusations of really shitty busibess oractices iirc
I’ll apologise now for the tiktok link, i know how much this place hates tiktok but here is a woman who did a deep dive and found evidence that the company actually changed their logo and tried to scrub the existence of the Cornucopia from the internet to distance themselves from Bad PR.

I’m not clicking TikTok but if that evidence is the logo trademark paperwork mentioning “cornucopia” you can search that same database for cornucopia and find other logos tagged with the label that don’t contain one. Seems to be a tagging system, not a 1:1 description of image content.
You guys are such babies lol
This is the type of conspiracy I can get behind.
Is this a butt pun? Please say yes…
Not so sure I believe this one. I can’t find any evidence that this is real, but I am finding a lot that shows it was never part of the logo. For example, this needle package from 1967 doesn’t have one and there isn’t a single trademark owned by them, past or present, that has the cornucopia in it.
☝️ this is what a good post looks like. Actually do some due diligence.
I always thought it must’ve been common counterfeits that added it.
I feel like if that were the case, there would need to be a TON of them out there for so many people to think the real logo had a cornucopia.
So here i am, minding my business on a Friday afternoon and this guy, this guy comes in with a tiktok link! And I’m all like hrrrnnnggggggggggg ehhhhhhhhhhhh but you know what I’ll let it slide today. It’s nice out, gonna bbq later if it doesn’t rain. What the hell, right? You go ahead and do your tiktoks and if anyone gives you hell about it just remember this guy said he’s giving you a pass
So, did you bbq or did it rain?
Tiktokkers will say anything that feeds them views. FotL is probably paying influencers to make this content for publicity
I like this idea but it’s hard to believe that nobody can produce a pair of underwear or t-shirt from the 70s that they found in their basement/attic
Why are cornucopias bad?
Cause they poisoned a whole town and did a corporate restructuring to be able to deny that they did it. Part of that included deleting the cornucopia
They’re not, but the old company logo was associated with a scandal/disaster so they changed it to distance themselves.
Idk if I really buy it considering how similar the new logo is, nobody is gonna think it’s two different companies. But I haven’t fully immersed myself in the conspiracy yet, so I might be missing some context
But none of this is true
But why do they deny the old logo existed?
They don’t, because it’s made up.
SAME. I know without a doubt the brown cornucopia was part of the fruit logo.
I doing have this one, but I will cut you if you call them The Bearenstain Bears.
I am not crazy! I know they swapped those letters! I learned to read with Bearenstein. I knew it was Bearenstein. One after See Spot Run. As if I could make such a mistake. Never. Never!
The off-spelling was from overseas published books, so they couldn’t be sold in America.
Be at peace
But doesn’t the front on both says Berenstain in cursive or am I reading it wrong?
Looks like it
Yes, the one in font is likely a typo. It’s so easy to get the name confused that even the transcriber got confused.
It’s neither of those. You’re putting “bear” into it. Lmao. It’s Berenstain.
You’re wrong too. It’s the Bearenstain Bares, because it was a book about nudists.
Wait… Was I raised in a cult?
Oh God this is even worse. We’ve split again!
Can’t wait for the multiverse to finally unravel
I think a lot of us just mispronounced it. As an American “stain” seems like a lot less common of a name ending than “stein”. Easy to gloss over a spelling in a long word.
I’m not aware of what fruit of the loom is but tbh i think they should add it, the logo just doesn’t look right without it (it’s color palette improves the logo and makes it more square-ish)
its* color palette improves
Regardless of reality, the one with the cornucopia looks better
I don’t get the Mandela effect. I never even heard of the guy until he was released from prison. Still, didn’t reoffend so I guess he learned his lesson.
Pretty sure Fruit of the Loom didn’t have that font either. I think that’s a new one.
I did think it was Berenstein bears, but in fairness I did only have one book and it was a worn out scratch and sniff book where all the pages smelt vaguely of pepper. Also a six year old’s memory might not be the most reliable thing in the world.
Some Woolworth department stores had a Harvest House diner inside who’s logo was a big cornucopia. That’s one possible place people of a certain age remember it from. It was really big outside of the Woolworths in our mall
This one is rough, but have y’all heard of Stouffer’s stuffing? D:
It’s on the shelf in that pic
I definitely remember Stove Top Stuffing.
The show that pic is from was making a joke about the Mandela Effect. S1 Episode 3 was all about it, so this showing up in S3 Episode 2 was just an Easter egg/callback to when they went around sticking the Stouffer’s logo over the Kraft branded stuffing boxes in stores. https://www.hbo.com/how-to-with-john-wilson/season-1/3-how-to-improve-your-memory
I never remembered the logo on the left. It definitely wasn’t something I’ve ever seen on those cheap clothes.
The cornucopia has a different line thickness and the shadows follow the shape, rather than go perfectly to the right like on every other object. It’s so stylistically out of place that I can’t see it being legit.
You know what, no, I don’t believe you, Deceptichum
This is actually an artists rendering of what people “remember.” What’s really interesting about this case of the “Mandela effect” is that a lot of people (including I) remember it exactly like this. Usually in other cases people remember things at least slightly differently.
This is the longest and most confusing Snopes article I have ever read. I feel like the Mandela Effect is clawing at the boundaries of its containment, trying to escape and start to change day-to-day things about my home and the people around me.
I’m usually one to trust snopes but they’re full of shit
FotL has launched a successful propaganda campaign to cover up that they poisoned an entire town.

Sorry for the Tik Tok link.
That TikTok doesn’t mention anything about poison?
Yeah, no. The evidence presented there is less than paper thin. Only two blurry shitty pictures of unknown origin exist that claim to show the cornucopia in the logo. Out of all the millions of clothes this company has sold. It’s just not plausible. The more likely explanation is good Photoshop, or counterfeit clothing with an incorrect logo.
This video is actually covered in the snopes article too.
This is super made up.
Snopes is not immune to corporate collusion.
I HATE Tik Tok, but no. Snopes is 100% falling for corporate propaganda to cover up that FotL poisoned an entire town.

If a TikTok video is the only evidence you have, then you have no evidence. Please stop spamming this bullshit.
It’s just called corporate gaslighting at that point
I would swear my undergarments had the cornucopia logo when I was growing up. I actually remember the point in my life where I saw the logo without it and assumed they decided to modernize.
Same. I saw the new logo in a sign in a Kmart
Aren’t clothes pretty commonly counterfeited?
Fruit of the Loom is already like the cheapest shit you could buy. Who would counterfeit the shitty brand?
Yes but fruit of the loom is already your bargain barrel brand.
I’m pretty sure the local department store wasn’t selling counterfeit kids underwear. This isn’t like a Nike shirt or something.
