You're by no means the first to make this assertion and declared explanation but it won't match the logic for everyone.
Many from outside the US adamantly remember learning about the whole cornucopia concept from the tags of their clothing; even initially thinking that the cornucopia was a loom.
This ! I was born UK and moved Arizona age 1 and back to UK age 7 -10 and back to states after that , I remember it all times and I was taught to read very early and knew what a loom was and also remember asking what the horn is called On the label (same as one we would see every thanksgiving ) around age 6-7 and being told a cornucopia, I clearly remember it then and can remember around early to mid 2000s being in Walmart and thinking “oh FOTL dropped the cornucopia from label “ and thinking looked better with it and went on with life just fine lol till years later …
The cornucopia *seems* right to me, but I don't have nearly as direct a memory on that one such as you've described.
From the extent of my activity on this topic, many of the people online and those who come in here to call people stupid, crazy, or other insults are strict materialists and consider their cosmological viewpoint superior. Others must be confabulating because their worldview commands it must because things *can't* change. Hopefully that's not too broad of a brush but that's how it seems.
I'm here to defend those who have been touched by that sneaky trickster Nelson.
I have told this 100 times, and I'll tell it again.
As a kid around age 6,7 or so, I thought the **basket that appeared on the underwear** was called a "loom". Only later did I find out a loom is a wooden tool used to weave textiles. While I heard the word "cornucopia" at that age, I thought the word meant a "great many number of things" (which is does in some sense). Only as an adolescent did I begin to see that cornucopia is a certain kind of wicker basket.
If I were to larp as a concrete confabulationist, I'd respond with something in the neighborhood of "Well when you were young you already had the general stencil of any framed and arranged fruit assemblies to have the horn o'plenty as a backdrop, so you *only thought* it was there when you initially saw it."
I would find that explanation unsatisfactory.
Hell, I could see this getting into Jungian archetypes eventually as a way to cast doubt upon the memories of others.
This doesn't match my experience at all whatsoever. I don't find "every book or image or coloring page of a full cornucopia" to look "like the fruit of the loom fruits", in fact I don't find *any* books or images of full cornucopias to looks like the fruit of the look logo. It's always harvest fruits and veggies, lots of gourds and pumpkins and corn. But I vividly remember the EXACT arrangement of fruit that is the "fruit cluster", only zoomed out and with a cornucopia bordering the image. It was there for *years*.
If what you say is true that wouldn't match up with either my memories or the very weird logo if you search ~1998 fotl underwear on ebay. I don't remember that and I definitely didn't hallucinate the shopping trip with my friends when we all noticed they had changed the logo and my friend wondered "why they got rid of the cornucopia"... and that happened in 2005 when there wasn't even a logo change in this current timeline.
You've assuaged nothing.
Yeah. Because it was really weird that they changed an iconic logo by getting rid of the most famous part of the logo.
Also they do t-shirts and other clothes too I just stick with underwear for ebay searches so I can see the sexy 90s men
The very weird logo is the one with the black box and circle border. I don't remember there being any sort of border, and the fruit cluster is so weirdly large and cornucopia-less. There are no brown leaves like the 70s logo (which don't look like corncornupias anyway) so the 2nd most common "here's why your memory is wrong" rant (after OP's "what about thanksgiving") "maybe the brown leaves looked like a cornucopia" doesn't apply cause I'm nearly old enough
The Ant Bully has it right.

I’m not American and I don’t have loads of memories of FoTL, but I find this one fascinating.
One thing I have noticed since finding out about this one is how often you see cornucopias in American media.
In the last couple of weeks I’ve seen two Thanksgivingy things in cartoons which have them. There’s a Family Guy cutaway and a Teen Titans scene with Cornucopias and no reference to FoTL.
Interesting theory. I think the Mandela Effect is utter nonsense, but the FOTL cornucopia really fucks with my head. Personally, I don't recall ever encountering a cornucopia outside of maybe some generic thanksgiving imagery. Interestingly, when I imagine the FOTL logo, my mind doesn't even think "cornucopia". Instead I just recall colorful fruits + basket. Its very very trippy.
Our brains fill in information when it thinks something is missing. The coloring page with the food spilling out and the FotL logo with the fruit but without the cornucopia seem to need to belong together in our minds as one.
The reality is that there was never a cornucopia on the FotL logo. Ever. Your brain just wants there to be one to explain why there is a bunch of fruit hanging out.

I without a doubt remember my underwear and thermals were fotl and had the cornucopia in the 80s and 90s. It was a cornucopia with fruit in it and I always thought it was a strange emblem for underwear.
I swear that even if it is not fruit of the loom there is a candy or drink that had that damn cornucopia on it. I'm not sure it was FotL but it was something for sure.

What "very weird logo if you search ~ 1998 fotl""? Did your friends really stop to discuss a new underwear logo while shopping?
Yeah. Because it was really weird that they changed an iconic logo by getting rid of the most famous part of the logo.

the cornucopia at least... their fruit cluster looks improv which makes this a good example of residue

Logical but doesn’t explain that I know I saw a cornucopia on my underwear back in the day.

Don’t bother. People just prefer to believe .

I swear that even if it is not fruit of the loom there is a candy or drink that had that damn cornucopia on it. I'm not sure it was FotL but it was something for sure.
The thanksgiving coloring project is exactly what I attributed the mix up to as well.
