There absolutely was a cornucopia in the fruit of the loom logo. That is the sole reason I know what a cornucopia is. It wasn't on any table or in any thanksgiving decoration in my childhood, it isn't a popular thing to exist in media, it was an obscure item that was a main part of an underwear logo.

Anyone that says differently is objectively wrong. I don't know why the logo changed and why besides a patent entry even the company itself denies it. I don't really care if this is an alternate earth or aliens or time travellers or an entirely natural quirk of existing in a quantum universe, but I know for an absolute fact the sole reason I know what a cornucopia is is because of my underwear, and not because my dick is coincidentally called the horn of plenty.

There absolutely wasn't. Snopes did a good piece on this in 2024.

Yeah, snopes isn't a trustworthy source, and more importantly, there absolutely was. I know that for an absolute certainty, and gaslighting isnt going to work.

Your passionate certainty and value of your own judgment/recollection have convinced me! 😅
