The Berenstein Bears one and the Fruit of the Loom not having a horn are the ones that have me questioning reality and my childhood.
There is a theory that the Fruit of the Loom one is actually a viral marketing thing. Like the company scrubbed it on purpose and is playing into it to build brand recognition.
I vaguely remember noticing the fruit of the loom logo change which makes it weirder for me
Same here. It had the cornucopia. Then it didn't. "weird" I thought. Then 5 to 10 years later I was reading the hunger games and needed to look up what a cornucopia actually was. "a horn usually containing fruit - oh - like the fruit of the loom logo" Then 2 years ago learning it never existed at all, and we all hallucinated it, there have even been paradies of it. It's fucking weird.
Yeah, that's definitely the one that I have going on for me. Life is weird.
Edit: The proof I mentioned is just 2 images of shirts with the cornucopia in the logo. I'm not so sure anymore about what I said previously.
~~Its proven that there was a cone in the logo, the company is just acring like that for marketing reasons~~
Link?
here's an old article mentioning the cornucopia: https://imgur.com/a/Au42qr8
but reading some more about it, it seems like my previous comment is actually false. There are also 2 images of shirts with the cornucopia, which convinced me eaelier, but that's only 2 images against a mountain of evidence.
This is the one that my 🧠 still won't let go.
yeah my dad always used to buy the fruit of the loom sweatpants for us, and I'm pretty sure I saw that cornucopia. but it really seems we are mistaken. brains generally are a pretty shit source of information, after all.
omg.... but..but.. I.. I remember the logo... changing.... oh god.
Berenstein is classic though.
