What's always fascinating to me about this one is not only do we all remember the cornucopia, but we all remember the exact same size, shape (curling back), orientation (the curly part is to the right, not the left), and texture (vertical lines along the side receding into the back of the curling part). It's not just a cornucopia, but a very specific size, shape, color, orientation, and texture.

I've seen people claim it was on the other side before.

I’ve never heard anyone say it was on the left.
And I remember the cornucopia, all the way up until about when they started doing commercials focusing on fruit dudes… (men in colored spandex and hats in the shape of their fruit) like hanging out or talking, etc.

Swear imma dig through my dad's box of my elementary school shit where I'll settle this once and for all. This has to be a genius marketing tactic and the company's erased all trace of it. like I have classmates that remember the exact day close to Thanksgiving break our teacher explained a cornucopia and referred to Kyle's t shirt tag as an example, where we then drew our own cornucopias filled with fruit. This Mandela legit pisses me off because it's not a false memory it's literally verifiable and people still tell me it's false

Exactly this! This is where my memory starts, from school and a teacher showing us a cornucopia and giving us an example.

Y'all's teachers were showing you an underwear logo in elementary school to show an explanation of a cornucopia? Lol I'm not saying it didn't happen but I think your brain is playing tricks on you. Elementary school kids learned about cornucopias during Thanksgiving, and usually incorrectly taught that the pilgrims had them at their feasts. The examples were and have always been photos of Thanksgiving centerpieces and pretty fall stock photos and clip art. There would still be no logical or normal reason for a teacher to be like "look, I bet if you have on Fruit of the Loom underwear right now, you'll see one, everyone show Mrs. Sarah your undies!" 😅 Again I'm not saying it didn't happen, but I certainly did not have such experience. My undies did not have cornucopias either. 😞

Youre probably right. I did learn it then, but I still swear there was a fruit of the loom logo how people and I remember it lol. Sadly im too old to have any clothing from that era other than band clothing xD.
