    That’s literally the mandela effect. It’s collective false memory. All archives, including TV commercials do not have a cornucopia as the logo never had one. It’s the shaded brown leaves on versions of the logo that people misconstrued. Your brain can easily include a false detail or overwrite a visual memory with a reinforced false one.

      If you scroll down there is literally a fruit of the loom with the exact cornucopia i remembered. It looks like there were bootlegs running around in the time period I remember it. Case solved. Nelson Mandela is dead.

        Those are bootlegs though, with a logo design likely based on the collective misremembering. They certainly didn’t copy the real logo, as it objectively never had a cornucopia.

          I think those bootlegs were widely sold. That sign on that old trailer was definitely the one up at my local stores and was definitely on the branding of the products I used. Its weird to know my underwear were not authentic.
