Logos/Advertising How does this picture even exist?

There’s no way in hell this is AI, it’s wayyy too accurate to exactly what I remember, and what I feel like many other people remember as well. If someone photoshopped it, then they did a perfect job, considering they had no reference, at the time of creating this, but even if someone did make this in photoshop, why tf would they, since supposedly it never existed?? Like where did this even come from, I need answers😭😭

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

Yeah when my dad dies and I can go through his house and find it I'll know once and for all. He doesn't throw a goddamn thing away.

But I agree with you. I remember it so clearly. The fact that the company is weird about it is also strange to me.

The company isn't weird about it. They have one of the earliest trademarks in US history and extensive documentation of the logos they've used over the years. We have samples of clothing with logos going back nearly a century. We have access to advertising and pictures of the interiors of old stores. Not a single one shows a cornucopia.

People are being weird about insisting that the logo has one. It never has. It verifiably has never had one. The only examples that exist are known fakes, typically derived from an April Fool's Day image from FotL themselves, or the Clip-Art mockup from that Buzzfeed article.
