The Mandela Effect is an elaborate publicity stunt to advertise The Twilight Zone reboot.

I think you’re falsely remembering. The twilight zone hasn’t aired yet.

It's not the twilight zone it's just the zone

3:55 wordcount.org ranks the term cornucopia around the 42,000th most common word in the English language

Let me know when they remake The Outer Limits.

Loved that intro so f**king much.

I read this comment before watching the video and I swear it said fruit of the loom instead of Mandela effect...

it isn’t an “extraneous” object,  fruit laid out with a cornucopias are incredibly common (we’ve seeen theme shit tons as kids on grade school for thanksgiving activities)

I live in Ohio so I'm always in The Twilight Zone.

We are investing in this meme:https://youtu.be/25l96_-5PZI

or as a brazilian "goku was about to SSJ3 when 9/11 happenned and interrupted the episode lol"

@James McComb hmm ill try lookingninto it

@rilla fy All I remember is something about spiders and the Mandela effect being a Mandela effect, or something along those lines. The rabbit hole goes deep and it's been years since I've looked into it.

@James McComb lol how does it blow anyones mind

Look into the sources for why it's called the Mandela effect. You will lose your mind.

I could see EmpLemon making a good Twilight Zone show

I really think the cornucopia was a real deal and I’m 15 and remember it

no its increasing awareness of nelson mandela

@ꓘ〣K The original was awsome and well made with dedication

@ꓘ〣K <br>Some of the episodes are good but people get too nostalgic.

Some of the episodes are good but people get too nostalgic.


The strangest part about this is that I remember a whole commercial vividly with the cornucopia in the commercial. I learned what a cornucopia was because of fruit of the loom, my teachers mentioned "like fruit of the loom"


I remember seeing it as I played inside of the clothing racks at Walmart as a kid. These type of things are unsettling


I remember when I was little, we had a fridge magnet with my sister's name on it, as well as a brightly colored image of a cornucopia full of fruits and vegetables. I think this is probably what I'm mixing the logo up with, but that doesn't explain why everyone else remembers the same thing. Are cornucopias really a prominent enough icon in American culture to confuse all of us about this one particular thing.

I don't believe in parallel universes, and I don't have an explanation. All I can say is that this is a wierd phenomenon, and I don't think anyone will ever have an explanation that really clears it up in a satisfying way.

Sure we probably misrembered it, but WHY did we all misremember it? This is what's so unsettling, about the whole thing. All of these people have one specific, wierd, random, false memory and there's no clear explanation behind it. Everyone likes to pretend they're smart and say it's the "mandella effect" it's a "false memory".
No really? You deserve a Nobel Peace Prize for that one, Einstain.

Everyone can see WHAT is happening, what we want to know is WHY it's happening.


Watching this is the first time I can remember seeing, or hearing about a cornucopia. Not as in if it's present on the Fruit of the Loom logo, but the actual object itself. If it would have been there I'd probably have wondered what a hollow turd, or possibly fucked up seashell, did next to some grapes.


I remember when I heard about the Mandela effect and someone said the cornucopia was part of it and I was like, “what people think the cornucopia isn’t there?” Only to feel horrified that the controversy is that the cornucopia actually apparently never existed. I never felt more freaked out by the Mandela effect.

@Luminous Holy shit! What the hell? I didn't think C3PO had a silver leg. I guess that I could chalk that one up to my having mainly watched the original trilogy on VHS rather than ever upgrading to a DVD set/blu-ray, but I feel like I've never seen merchandise with only one of his legs silver because I'd have been like, "What is this a bootleg version? Why's his leg wrong?"

The C3PO one blew my mind. He's entirely gold-colored, right? Look again. Yeah, my mind was blown by that one.

Dude I'd never heard of Berenstain Bears until I read about it as an example of the Mandela Effect, guess how I pronounced it.. No it's not a crazy inconsistency

@Stevie Champagne With the Berenstain Bears thing, I feel like it's something I would have thought was funny as a kid, like "BerenSTAIN Bears? Like berry-stained bears?" And you'd think some people would have pronounced it with "stain" instead of "stein" but I never once knew anyone who said it that way. <br>There are some Mandela Effect things that are bogus though, I remember distinctly as a kid wondering about why Curious George didn't have a tail so I know that's just people misremembering things

It really is one of the most glaring ones.

But the Berenstein Bears will always be my #1, because I was an AVID reader of those books and would read them religiously for years growing up. It was never BerenstAin and I will take that to the grave


A loom is “an apparatus for making fabric by weaving yarn or thread”

I think that the association with loom and weaving makes us think of a woven basket


What's interesting is it's such a specific and odd item. If it'd been a normal basket I'd just thought it a strange coincidence, but why a cornucopia of all things? I myself never even knew a cornucopia was even a horn shaped basket until watching this; it's such an oddly specific item that so many people are agreeing was there, that it makes me question if there is something to the mandella effect.

Also a horn or cylindrical shaped object in an underwear logo makes total sense to me, they should have had bananas in there.


I haven't been exposed to Fruit of the Loom and their logo that much on account of not being American, but I do remember being introduced to the concept of a cornucopia from some similar-looking stock art. I forget where or when this happened though, was it in a schoolbook or kids' encyclopedia, was it in a travel brochure, was it some completely unrelated brand's logo, even? No idea.


I pretty distinctly remember me being confused why there was fruit and some brown thing in the back at Walmart constantly.    Possible but less likely I’ve brought it up to my parents before


I don’t think I’ve ever looked at the Fruit of the Loom logo before in my life, but honestly I think that the Cornucopia version looks better. Just a more complete image, I don’t know. Maybe opinions like that have something to do with this phenomenon.

The 'recreation' is way too good. Fits the artstyle so exactly that you feel like it needs to be there. This is not a good thing.


One possibility is that as children we all learned about the origins of thanksgiving and the cornucopia. I remember doing a project where I would have to cut out and color fruit, then glue them onto a cornucopia. I guess we're all just so used to seeing it in our childhood that its just the norm. <br>BUT HEY THATS JUST A THEORY

BUT HEY THATS JUST A THEORY


I remember fruit of the loom having a cornucopia on their shirt logos. As I asked about it and found out it was the loom from my mother and her friend. Later that year I was playing RuneScape when they had an event where you could get one and I thought it was a loom like on my clothing’s logos.

I specifically remember this, so I think people who are saying it’s not on the logo are taking a piss


I'm pretty sure it has to do with two key, coincidental things from childhood-  Firstly, "Fruit of the Loom" has the word "Loom" in it, which despite how simple the word looks, isn't a word that most kids will know from a young age.  However, Fruit of the Loom was a widely popular brand that most children were familiar with.  Secondly, Thanksgiving.  Thanksgiving scenery often depicts fruit inside of a cornucopia. Cornucopias are rarely ever shown outside of Thanksgiving, and the word is fairly long and unwieldy.  Thusly, it's easy for a young child to make the assumption that the thing all the fruit is inside of during Thanksgiving is a loom.

In fact, it's something I hadn't even pondered until this video-  The "Fruit" of the loom is a metaphor for the fabric.  At no point had that thought ever remotely crossed my mind as a child.  I had always just assumed, as a child, that the underwear was named after fruit because that's just how things were.


This video pokes fun at the "alternative reality" theory, but some very intelligent physicists think this is a very real possibility. The way I've heard it described is that every substantial choice represents two or more distinct realities essentially branching off at each point. Although that wouldn't really explain this effect, unless two realities were merged back together if they were almost completely identical.  So even if this was true, probably not the reason for this phenomenon.


I think it’s possible that the arrangement of the fruit alludes to the existence of a cornucopia. I had never seen the logo before this video, though I’d heard of the brand, and the cornucopia being there just looks *right*. Perhaps there’s some artistic explanation similar to the line of action that alludes to a cornucopia-like shape, and our brains already associate fruit with the cornucopia specifically, allowing for that to take precedence over, say, a bugle.

yepp. cornucopia may be an uncommon word, but it was one of those things that came to mind a lot when i was a kid (i'm guessing from seasonal books or cartoons) so i don't think it's that far fetched

@P M

Mate it took me less than two minutes to write that comment, chill

Honestly kinda sad how much time you people have.

@joao sturza

That’s a super interesting point, actually. The old-fashioned art style could strengthen the association, or be the entire cause of it if we were to assume my guess is wholly incorrect.

I live in brazil and never heard of this brand before, I feel like the logo with the cornucopia just looks better, like a natural fit

it also is drawn in an art style I'm sure I've seen a cornucopia in and may be confused because it looks like that cornucopia

@Blayne Umberger pictures of a  bunch of fruits put together almost always have baskets from still natures to justvlooking at the fruit in your own home, if you see a bunch of fruit without one it doesn't look likr such a stretch to picture one

Yeah I feel like the whole analysis hinges on the idea that the cornucopia couldn’t just be an easily assumed and implied thing, which IMO it totally is. It honestly doesn’t feel any different to the example given of say a monocle on the monopoly man

@Youtube Pizzer It's very much plausible that people saw an image of some fruit with a cornucopia as a kid, asked "What's that horn-thingy?" and then later misattributed that image to the Fruits of the Loom logo.

doesn't explain how people had memories of learning what a cornucopia is from the fruit of the loom logo though

interesting. thats very much a thing with art, especially in music, a lot of music composition teachers stress the importance of implying things to an audience, forming things around an idea so that you can suggest an idea without ever actually directly presenting it. seems like what youre talking about.

Yeah I feel like there’s more to analyze here from an art theory perspective. I also wonder if it has something to do with the sort of rustic art style that alludes to antique items like cornucopias?


This is so unusual, here in Ireland we never saw Fruit of the Loom underwear however we would get like school uniforms and stuff made by Fruit of the Loom, but I can honestly never recall seeing a cornucopia


I think you answered the question: an image of fruit is so associated with a cornucopia that it's right there in the patent. It's no different from the monocle thing


I love when we lose our minds over trivial things like this.


Will never be able to convince me it never had a cornucopia. I distinctly remember asking my mom what fruit "that brown one" was at the store in the early 90's, learning then what it was, and then later that same year feeling a childish sense of pride when correctly naming it in class during a Thanksgiving activity. The combination of that proud moment while secretly knowing that "knowledge" was based on underwear (which at that age would have been embarrassing to admit) caused both events to simultaneously register as one significant-enough memory.


I have a near perfect memory of when I was about 5 or 6 and me and my dad were walking around Walmart and I remember there being a display of fruit of the loom shirts and underwear clearly being displayed along with sign showing the logo with the cornacopa


Another example is from the James Bond film, "Mooneaker" where Jaws meets a blonde girl with braids and falls in love after she smiles at him.

I distinctly remember her smile revealing a mouthful of braces (hence the love-at-first-sight moment).

My fiancé and I both saw this movie in the theater when it first came out...a good seven years before we even met, and we both remember this scene.

However any modern print of the film ahows her free of any visible orthodontia.


Before watching this video, I can safely say that I never pictured the Fruit of the Loom logo with a cornucopia. But now, after watching it, the cornucopia looks completely natural. Not familiar, because I definitely never pictured it there, but natural, as if it's supposed to be there.

I think it's more of a showcase of the power of suggestion. Someone asks "does fruit of the loom have a cornucopia?" And our brain goes "yeah, that makes sense", so we fill it in. It's actually possible that those distinct memories have been filled in without us knowing.

That or it's the most elaborate and thorough logo simplification of all time.


Damn, if you had asked me before this video if the logo had a cornucopia, I'd have said yes.

i was reading the comments before I started the video and immediately recalled the cornucopia as well as it's placement and orientation; I asked my wife to recall the logo as well; she too recalls the fruit being held; then we watched the video and saw the new logo saying "that's not what it was"<br>I didn't even let her know why i was asking the question about the logo; I wanted to vett out the most honest non-biased answer from her.

I'm not from the US, we don't celebrated thanksgiving here, but the image of the cournocopia is in my subconscious due to american media. I believe people underestimate how easy it woul've been to learn about it from a diferent logo or piece of media, and then mix it up with the underwear logo because since then we associate cournocopias with fruit. Since the missconception is so old and prevalent, it is possible it sustains itself by having people learn about the supposed cournocopia from a parody of the logo rather than the original.

@Boco Corwin you’d think so but I’m in the U.K. and we don’t have anything thanksgiving related but I KNOW it had a cornucopia

@Boco Corwin I'm from Europe, almost never came across any images of a cornucopia, and didn't even know what its name was until now. One of the few places I DO remember is from is this logo, looks so much more natural with it there.

@Megan Adams just what i was thinking, being a kid in Denmark in the early 2000s I thought it was a waffle

Might have to see if I can dig that old iron maiden t-shirt up, probably won't find a cornucopia on it lol

@ׂ we are being brainwashed by the company, and the alternate universe we have entered.

I actually remember the cornucopia being removed in around 2016.

MAX WHERE IS TC2 ITS TRADITION NOW SINCE YOU DID IT TWICE

Your not wrong. Cern already proved with science you can rewrite history. It's called the quantum eraser. The residuals that prove it works are also present in Mandela effect. Big difference is cerns says it only works with small molecules and only a few seconds into the past can be rewritten.

@Boco Corwin America is the only country to celebrate thanksgiving, i grew up in the UK and I remember the fruit of the loom logo having a cornicopia

@Boco Corwin i concur, the cornucopia is from a thanksgiving themed childrens drawing book.

The power of suggestion is, well, powerful 🤷♂

What if you were asked what was in the logo without mention of a cornucopia? Do you think you’d include it then or could it be there because someone suggested it might be?

I am quite sure it has on some slot machines.

At least, you think so now. But who knows what we'd really say if someone asked what the logo looked like, without mentioning a cornucopia?

I honestly think that when most people were at an age that Thanksgiving origins were taught to them, decorations and related media were prominent, is when we first recognized the similarities between our underwear logo and Thanksgiving pictures or wtvr


Second grade in the 90's the art teacher had us draw a still life for Thanksgiving of that logo. Drawing the underwear logo was the funniest thing ever at that time and hearing our teacher say fruit of the loom over and over stuck with me. It had the fruit basket and I'm sure of it.


What I always found interesting about this, is the cornucopia in the apparently FICTIONAL mock logo that doesn’t actually exist... is EXACTLY how we all remember it... you’d think we would all remember a slightly different cornucopia if it wasn’t real... so weird. (Unlike Bernestein/stain... where it’s a single letter in a worded title... so the font would match every other letter)

Interesting to think about!


I'm gonna get a bit speculative, crazy-graphic-designer here. If you didn't know, there are eight principals of composition in art, one being rhythm. It's basically the elements of a composition that guide you through a piece. I'm wondering if people are adding in the cornucopia to help repair the logos rhythm. As of now, its a bit bland. You see the colorful fruit, then you read the logo. But with the added cornucopia, your eyes take a diagonal path downwards (tip of cornucopia to leftmost leaf), and end up at the start of the text. Its a more interesting, natural-feeling line than the original design, so it feels wrong when the cornucopia's missing


I once fabricated an entire area in my head in the Fallout New Vegas add on Old World Blues. I had to discover every location in the add on as well as double checking on the Fallout Wiki to realize that the area was never real and I imagined it. Which was crazy to me because I had supposedly memorized the interior of the area and an interactable object in it.


Fun Fact: EmpLemon is actually green irl. The footage he shows of himself is not edited. He is actually a goblin.

Okay, he may be green, but is he even retired? Didn't think so.

@Rkplblenny He showed his face in a stream he did with the Smash Bros Melee player

I think it is a scar that the Downward Spiral left him

No, EmpLemon is actually a simpson being because Simpsons are green.

@Knack Okay...so, that's a "no" to my question. Thanks everyone for weighing in.

@Rkplblenny he did it as a joker emp in one of his recentish videos, it was shown for a long time and not super hidden... but he was wearing makeup (assuming joker emp is him and not just melvin: brother of the joker with a shaved beard)

@Rkplblenny He did show his face before... several times at that. He was just very sneaky in doing so, kinda as an easter egg, so you had to be perceptive to catch that

Is it just me, or is this Emp's face reveal? I don't remember him showing his full face before...


I'd say I was 95% sure it existed... it was such a strange object that I never knew what it was a child. I remember always being confused as to what that thing was. It's possible that I just saw many pictures in the 90's with cornucopias (since they showed images of it more often than they do today - as they're sort of an "old school" thing) and I just paired it with the only official logo with a collection of fruit. But the photoshopped version looks EXACTLY like what I remembered it looking like.

It's just strange, because if reality is glitched, the cornucopia is exactly the sort of item they'd use to conceal it.. it's this strange item that no one intuitively knows/understands what it is until they ask their parents. So it's hard to say if you're just imagining things or not

if there were...it had to be in the 70s.
I remember all the 90s ads and some of the 80s and there were nothing but fruit.
remember we wwre kids and we were also trying to just relate things.
I obky knew about cornucopia theijfh Thanksgiving images. But even if it'd not a Thanksgiving imagery, if I see fruits or vegetables or a mix on a table, I immediately go back to that strange thing I learned about...the cornucopia.
so I can see why when you go back in that old young, trying to relate things mind, you just slap on that cornucopia


I also vividly remember the cornucopia on the fruit if the loom logo from the late '90s maybe early 2000s being one if not my first interaction with a cornucopia. Absolutely baffled they claim it wasn't there


I like the idea that we all moved up a different timeline because maybe a previous one was doomed, even though its totally ridiculous rationally.


Yeah, I can say ive both seen the underwear with and without the cornucopia, but id also like to point out 'Demeter's Travels' has a VERY similar cornucopia to the one you put behind Fruit of the Loom's artwork.


Every emplemon video is like a regular show episode: it starts off normal than spirals into something deep

Deep? Perhaps.<br>Surreal? yeah, Thats regular show.

Deep? Perhaps.
Surreal? yeah, Thats regular show.


really strange how the Mandela effect can work from country to country. In the uk fruit of the loom is still a pretty popular brand but no one talks about it having a cornucopia.


This is really off topic, but that Ed, Edd and Eddy episode Emp used briefly was the first cartoon to ever truly make an impression on me as a kid. It was so 4th wall breaking and existential.

I don't think Ed, Edd and Eddy is under-rated, but I also feel that people don't always recognize it as what an amazing cartoon it was. I still rewatch it as an adult and it never seems like it's talking down to kids or afraid to make certain jokes.


I literally don't remember seeing a cornucopia on fruit of the loom 😂 it looks so different with it all i saw was fruit and thought it was weird to have that on a underwear tag


I had never even seen a cornucopia or even heard of one when I was younger- but u still remember it looking exactly like that. When I saw a cornucopia for the first time, I even asked my grandma what it was and when she answered I literally responded with "so that’s what the fruit of the loom thingy is!"


Here's the thing.

Before you even put the cornucopia on screen, I had the EXACT mental outline of it where it should've been. Same size, position, slightly lighter colors than I remember, THAT is bizarre.

Must be because it's look more prettier that way more stuff on top right to even the image

Me too, but that's because I saw the thumbnail.

I mean let's be real, how many other ways would your brain imagine it looking naturally? The only other way is flipped with the tip on the opposite side, nothing else would look right haha

it's because it's in the thumbnail, it was already subconsciously implanted in your memory

And the same exact shape. The tail continuing to curl a bit at its end, the thickness of the ribbing, the amount of taper in width along the length... Exactly how I recalled it.


This video didn't look super interesting and I clicked on it by total accident, but somehow it was extremely interesting and I stuck around for the whole thing. Really well done.


After you added the cornucopia it looked completely natural. Seeing depictions of fruit with cornucopias behind them, is super common. <br>Not to mention, memory is absolutely horrible. We can literally implant memories into our brain under the right circumstances.

I think it’s just weird to see a pile of fruit on underwear of all things, and it would kind of make sense for it to be in a cornucopia or some other container, the way the underwear contains our “fruit”


Emplemon really just made me emotional in a video about a freaking underwear logo.

Someone give this man a Golden Globe or something.


Maybe the real cornucopia was the fruits we made along the loom


The fact that cornucopias are included with each trademark involving piles of fruit shows just how common the association is. Whenever still life drawing is taught, you'll see examples of paintings with cornucopias. If you were asked to draw a still life of fruit, you'd be likely to put in a cornucopia, even if it was never mentioned or you don't even know what it's called.


I know all too well just how fallible memory can be. There was an anime I saw somewhere around 15 years ago give or take a few years. I recently rediscovered that anime, and the one scene I saw of it was NOTHING like what I remembered. I had it in my head that it was super detailed like along the lines of Ghost in the Shell, or Akira, but it turns out that Big O isn't anywhere near as detailed due to its style. I also mise remembered the shape of the robot in question, as well as the scale of the explosion it made as it was shot. On top of that, I misremembered the scene after it, where the butsling highway was actually just two vehicles on a city street, and the character's dress was black, and not white like how I remembered it.


As someone who saw the Fruit of the Loom logo just now(never heard of them ever), the logo with the cornucopia feels way more memorable than the normal one. Maybe it was some kind of a parody logo in some show and as it's more memorable, everybody remembered that?


I think it’s because of thanksgiving because seeing the thanksgiving version invokes an even bigger sense of correctness than the fruit of the loom logo


I'm not entirely surprised that people keep recalling seeing a brown smudge on their undergarments. The fact they recall it being around the logo, that's the worrisome part.


its a very common motif, its not that weve seen the fruit of the loom depicted so many times without the cornucopia but weve seen the cornucopia depicted so many times WITH the fruit that (like you explained in the video) we get it confused. Why so many people remember asking their parents about it, they probably saw an alternative depiction in the decoration section of hobby lobby and then just rememberd it being fruit of the loom.


I always thought fruit of the loom was missing an object, but this makes sense.


As a person who worked at a clothing embroidery and printing shop for a summer where ALL our in store clothing was fruit of the loom there was never the cornucopia. I didn't even know that was a real thing.  Unless that logo was before my time then it was not there man


Fruit of the Loom made my school uniform. I remember examining the logo on my jumper in the car and asking why the fruit bowl is a cone instead of a bowl and he told me it was a cornucopia.<br>I specifically remember that's how I found out what a cornucopia was.

Why would so many different people misremember something so specific, when I was a kid I thought that the cornucopia was a “loom” and so that’s why I thought the company was named fruit of the loom because of the logo, fruit being in what I thought was called a loom. No one will ever be able to convince me that the logo never had the cornucopia. Makes me think that I shifted timelines.

@user d'you have photos of these plates anywhere? I come from the UK and my parents had a bunch of stuff from years past, that could be it for me


I think the leaves kinda make you expect the fruits to be somewhere other than void


Im honestly amazed that my memory is so bad that I 100% remember it having a cornucopia. All my underwear were either Hanes or FOTL back then. I remember learning what a cornucopia was in class and recognizing it from my underwear. But of course none of this ever happened, but it feels so real.


I'd never seen the fruit of the loom brand until this video and didn't even know what a cornucopia was. But it seems more balanced with it like it's obvious to have some brown basket thing in the logo to contrast with all the lively fruit.


I was 6 years old in a target, when I asked my mom what the thing behind the fruit was. That was the first time I ever heard the word.

Nah bro. I had that shit as my underwear and it had no corn on it. /serious

i was eight in a costco and i asked my mom what it was and she said that it was a loom, hence the name. I called the thing a loom for a very long time after that. I cant believe that it was never there. My memory seems so real and i can recall the picture in my mind. Weird.

What if everyone just has implanted memories

@Sewer World If you are OP's mom, why are your named Sewer World? Doesn't seem like a very motherly name

Sounds like mass-suggestion - some initial audio statement (either broadcast, in printed word or via word-of-mouth) painted a concrete visual - virtually the same visual all-around - in peoples' minds.  This in turn cemented the image in everyone's brain individually, and this then took reign in the brain as the "official" memory.  This was akin to the Star Wars / Empire line, "Luke, I am your father," instead of the actual, "No - I am your father !"  So after a year plus of amazement and wonder, this explanation seems somewhat believable and satisfying and at least STARTS to put the puzzle together.

And it looks like Mr. Larke again has just (partially) solved the case!  Here's what happened...(See previous paragraph).  While it's still possible this theory is wrong or incomplete, I at least think it make the most sense so far, as a more complete paradigm begins to unfold...

Don't worry folks - no charge for this one, and my secretary Trixie will be glad to validate parking as you exit the office...  ;-)

@Sriracha I bought a bag of chicken at soriana when visiting family in Mexico.

@Sangrino u guys making me scared I was in target too and truly remember seeing this and learning from my mom

DUDE WTF SAME LIKE SAME EXACT STORY AND SAME AGE BRO IM SCREDDD

Same here, except it actually will happen in the future when I start to missremember my underwear purchases due to the sheer amount of information I consumed in this video and in the comment section. My body is ready.

Same story, except I'm not american so I was at Soriana.

Same thing here and...I also remember it being in a target


I literally had a pack of fruit of the loom socks that had a logo with a cornucopia on it. Finally opened it and threw away the packaging around a week ago. I wish I could find it, but it's somewhere deep in the landfill now.


So I grew up in the 90s with Fruit of the Loom underwear and tees (from Walmart). I don't buy into the Mandela Effect at all because I suffered an illness as a teenager that messed up my memory for awhile, so I got a crash course on how faulty memories can be. However, I'm a visually-oriented person, and every time this logo thing came up, I couldn't ignore how much I thought I remembered the cornucopia. My first thought was that maybe Walmart was selling a knock-off brand, plus that cornucopia is in the same style of the generic clip art of the time. It's very likely that, if this was the case, the original logo we all saw has been lost to time.

Or we all just got collectively confused by some clip-art and our brains were like "that looks better, lemme just redesign that for you in your memory."


A neat trick is to ask people to draw a famous character like Batman or George Washington from memory in 1 minute. They don’t have time to look it up so they draw whatever comes to mind first. Illustrates this phenomenon nicely.


Here is something interesting, I am not familiar with the Fruit Of The Loom brand, but when I saw the logo with the cornucopia, it looked so natural, but when I saw the original logo after the old one, it looked like something was missing.


haha i love how you compared memory to underwear by saying we always have it on unless we're intoxicated

@hmmm. Want or no want, he will be remembered for that, no matter what.

on one hand i wanna be like "bfdi" but i dont think cary wants to be known for that for the rest of his life

@Wowerine the words, “calm down” do not apply to me.

@Wowerine is he not allowed to be here? I thought YouTube was open to everybody over a certain age, why would you block one person from being able to be on a place open to most of the world, what is wrong with you?

Hell yeah dude I was already subbed but you being part of the downward spiral made you my hero

mmm yes, i too, intoxicate myself to correct my memories


I feel like this could be one of those things that showed up in a textbook that is widely remembered, Like how the mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell... Like we saw it at some point and used it as a reference to remember other similar things.


I feel like we've just seen a lot of art with a cornucopia and some fruit in front of it, hence why so many people have the correlation lodged in their head.


I remember the cornucopia on the plastic package in the early 80s and specifically asking my parents what it was. They also said the leaves were fig leaves. Strangely I don't remember it being in the tags. Maybe it was holiday packaging.

Huh, packaging - that could be a lead that might explain why nobody can find evidence of it - seasonal packaging would be rare and thrown away


This is great video, I do remember the cornucopia but I associated it with a supermarket brand I’ve never had a fruit of the loom underwear so I don’t know how I would remember the cornucopia logo or The fruit of the loom logo in general.


I always thought it was a seashell and now you tell me it never existed?! I even have a Fruit of the Loom sweater and that sweater was my favourite in my teens and early adulthood. Wtf man....


Yeah. I got gifted a pair of underwear from Fruit of the loom as a child after seeing Stand By Me & loving the Fruit of the Loom Joke that's in it 🤣
BTW I'm Australian & there definitely was a cornucopia. I 100% remember this. Nobody can tell me different.
Not a popular brand here at all, in fact they were brought back from the states for me. Don't think you could even get them here 35 odd yrs ago 🤷♂


This video made me feel like my perception of reality is completely wrong and that I shouldn't trust anything, then fixed it in like 2 minutes


Meanwhile I'm over here like "so THAT's what whose food things are called"


Ok but that jazz album cover from the 70s actually freaked me out. That means we’re almost at the 50 year mark of believing this cornucopia existed when we have ample evidence (i.e. any pair of fruit of the loom underwear) to show that it doesn’t.

@EW B but the album cover features a distorted flute, not a cornucopia. The image wouldn't make any sense if it wasn't a reference to the shape of a pre-existing cornucopia, and it certainly wouldn't influence people into remembering a brown basket behind the fruit. There's no way it could be the source of the phenomenon, at least.

@__ Proof? In that case the myth could have originated with him.

@EW B there’s an interview with the artist and he says he based it off the tag on a shirt

@🌟 Officer Soul Knight you comment a lot or soul knight has a bigger player base than I thought

@🌟 Officer Soul Knight unrelated - is your profile picture a character from soul knight or enter the gungeon?

@🌟 Officer Soul Knight Unlikely. We have no material evidence of any kind that a variant was sold using the cornucopia. Our memories are more susceptible to suggestion than we think, it's very easy to convince someone they remember something that they actually do not. If enough people insist that they remember it with the cornucopia, then you might start remembering it that way too.

@Dzhikhad Incorrect. I’m 13 and the video was the first ever time I’ve saw that album cover. However, I still remember the Cornucopia on the Fruit of the Loom Logo. That exact cornucopia drawing. I’m personally a believer of the “Seasonal Variant” Theory, where during autumn they sold a different logo on the underwear.

@EW B Yes, and that's probably where most people got the idea of a cornucopia being in the logo in the first place.

I don’t think that’s the most logical interpretation of that album cover. It’s far more likely that the guy just wanted to put something music-related on the cover and thought that a cornucopia would fit well with the rest of the image.


I could go either way, honestly. I've only been around for 20 years and haven't even worn fruit of the loom for, God, as long as I can remember.


In I way I think you solved the mystery, or you at least have all the pieces. Totally convinced that its the way the apple looks in the center, specifically the stem. Reminds me of a lot of what's typically in the center in the horn of plenty images I've seen. Wonder what that apple looks like faded or maybe to somebody with color blindness.


that’s crazy that this phenomenon has been going on for 50 years. i’m starting to think there was a cornucopia and i didn’t even see it in the first place lmao


Either a lot of us did transition from some parallel dimension or timeline or Walmart took creative liberty with their advertising.
I can see WalMart asking for high "fidelity" images from their closest underwear partnership and FotL just taking too long so Walmart has their marketing design team create one.
Add that to regular fruit collections with baskets and cornucopias in art in the holiday season and you got another viable answer.


It's fantastic how Emp knows how to construct a consistently engaging documentary narrative from things as earthshaking as the Cold War to as mundane as an underwear logo. Not many creators have such versatility.


I just remember fruits man. I never remembered the Cone thing. Fruit/apple underwear we'd call it. Not an assortment basket of fruit underwear.

What's really weird to me is, "Life WAS like a box of chocolates" instead of Life IS like a box of chocolates from Forest Gump. It's either everyone didn't hear it right back in the day or some crazy shit happened. Because I remember everyone quoting it as IS instead of WAS.


I’m Brazilian but deeply into globalized American culture (yay!!), I swear I had absolutely no idea what were you talking about until you showed the version with the cornucopia. I immediately remembered it, I don’t know where it’s from, but i recalled having the distinct thought about how weird is having a logo with a cornucopia when I first saw it, but quickly dismissed it thinking it was just an American thing I couldn’t get. <br>I swear we’re onto something here, there’s references about it, but literally it never existed? I never really understood the crase about the Mandela effect until now, I mean, some things are easy to forget or to get confused about (like Pikachu’s tail) but this?…

I decided to change the logo in 1994 as I found the horn distracting. As such, reality shifted and changed all physical examples to the current configuration while instilling a predilection of disgust with the object.

So shall it be.

I understand your disbelief. To provide circumstantial evidence, allow me to obliterate the molestation victims of Die Antwoord.


I find this whole discussion so strange, because I never-ever remembered seeing a cornucopia on the logo. The apple was always the top. I remember seeing cornucopias in other things, in children’s books and the like, but Fruit of the Loom was always a pile of fruit. I saw cornucopias in other things, from children’s books to November calendars. But never there.

In fact, when I heard people saw the cornucopia, I mentally pictured it from the left and up, not straight to the right, and had to readjust my mental image to process what it was people were seeing.


WAIT IT'S FROOT LOOPS????? NOT "FRUIT"??

@logan H "froot loops spelled with o's instead of a u and I to avoid lawsuits. Hit it! Froot Loop Land, Froot Loop Land everybody sing along with the Froot loop band..."

You must be blind, cause I remember noticing the spelling of Froot Loops when I first learned how to read at age 4-5.

i kinda just pronounced the "oo" in "froot" like "boot"

I actually do distinctly remember it as "froot" because the spelling used to annoy the hell out of me as a kid.

Can’t believe people don’t remember the 4 loops on the box spelling out the words.

@Chocov 123 Hey another member of the "legit not fake cereal club" Welcome!

@Please enter a name Fruit Rounds for me.

Sup shy guy I don't know why but all of my favorite youtubers have a great taste in youtubers :)

Do you remember there being a lawsuit about fruit loops having to change there name because it contains no fruit?

I thought it was sugar rings, i buy the knock off stuff don't hate.


I remember reading hunger games for the first time and that being the first time ever seeing the word ‘cornucopia’ and I remember thinking “oh it’s the loom thing on the fruit of the loom undies”


I always thought that the logo did have a cornucopia, but I now realize that it’s because a local supermarket chain has a strikingly similar logo to fruit of the loom, one which contains a cornucopia.


This is all very interesting, but at 4:00, how is it possible that "heatwave" is lower than "altarpiece"  and "cornucopia" on the list of most common words?!  I hear it all the time when it gets hot!


I've never seen or heard of a cornucopia outside the context of the fruit of the loom logo in my memory. I think I must've seen one with fruit when I was very young and just have no recollection of it at all


The logo just looks like it should have a cornucopia on it. Frankly, it looks somewhat lacking without it. Seeing fruit coming out of a cornucopia is the most logical association you could make.

I totally agree. It seems like an easy mistake to make to me. Why would there just be a bunch of fruit in a pile and not in a cornucopia? Or a bowl? Or a tree? A hand? Anything!


I'm almost entirely certain that it's just the word "loom" throwing people off. They're imagining a "loom" with fruit in it. Simple as that.


I remember it, and I’ve never seen a cornucopia before, I just used to think it was a basket. It was the early 00’s, maybe there was an off brand company pretending to be Fruit of the Loom?


I think it's possible the "Flute of the Loom" album cover isn't a reference to the cornucopia but its origin. The artist wanted to add a flute to the logo to accompany the word play and chose to stylize it as a concucopia to fit the pile of fruit.

Actually no. Someone contacted the original artist and he confirmed that he remembers the cornucopia.


The cornucopia adds some disruptive assymmetry to the logo and I remember it to be almost symmetrical shapewise. To me it looks totally wrong with the cornucopia. I'm German and there are no brands (at least to my knowledge) that have a cornucopia in their logo, nor is it used that often elsewhere. As a kid I thought the logo was quite weird, especially for a t-shirt brand.


I remember a few years ago thinking “oh they got rid of the horn,” but I had no idea that the horn never existed to begin with!!!

I had a similar experience. I too remember the horn being part of the logo. Then recently I purchased shirts of this brand and noticed the horn was gone. I assumed it was just a redesign. Watching this video about the horn never even existing was surprising.

this is exactly what I was going to say, I thought it was just a case of brand simplification


the expressions lemon make are just perfect


I remember, as a kid, NOT KNOWING WHAT A CORNUCOPIA WAS, but figuring out what it was reading the Hunger Games and connecting it with the thing on the fruit of the loom tags.

The only explanation I can think of has something to do with Settlers of Catan.  Honestly, I have no idea.


Do you think it's the leaves?  They make it look like the fruit is emerging from something and are often part of cornucopia designs.

@LEG10N nah he couldn’t he’d have to ytps to get good at being funny again

@Iby Institute  YouTube Downward Spiral one from 2-3 years ago

When did he say that? If you don't mind me asking.

Who knows, maybe he will be the next dunkey aswell


I think "of the" might be the culprit here. "Fruit of the Loom" implies they were produced from something, and since nobody knows what a "loom" is, people just assume there was a fruit-producing object in the logo. The artstyle always matches because that's the way the fruit is rendered.


Pretty crazy because I remember it with a cornucopia. It actually looks weird without it


More importantly this video makes me feel normal. I always felt like I had a bad memory and would fret about it a lot because we rarely admit to misremembering. This reminded me that I’m normal.


Right when I saw the ant bully scene I knew exactly why people including me were confused.  I watched that movie a lot as a kid, that’s why.


the real question is: how did he get the cornucopia on the logo. EmpLemon is, without a shadow of a doubt a clone from an other realty.

THIS, WHO CREATED THE LOGO, THEY KNOW THE ANSWERS


I am British and in my late twenties, and I also remember the cornucopia. I remember learning about it from Fruit of the Loom. Most Mandela effects don't get me, but this one really has.


I think this is way overthought out. Honestly the sign really just does evoke the cornucopia to me and I think it likely does for most of us even if we aren't fully conscious of it, and it seems very plausible (to the extent that it's almost obvious to me) that most of us are simply projecting that association onto the logo based on its resemblance at first glance to the extremely widespread cultural iconography that is the cornucopia.


I saw the logo with the cornucopia in a store in France while I was visiting there as a kid, I distinctly remember it standing out and it more big than shown in the video. I even talked to my parents about it about what it was. Pretty odd ngl.


“Horn of Plenty” totally unlocked a memory I had with my dad about Fruit of the Loom. There’s no way that there wasn’t a cornucopia


It's likely because most artworks that display a pile of fruit directly in front of a cornucopia have such similar fruits and art styles.

@Omeletttte I promise you I literally remember asking my mom what it was

@Friend then you have a serious problem my guy

I have never seen a pile of fruit in front of a cornucopia except on the fruit of the loom underpants

I don’t see how anyone else didn’t think of this.


I grew up in a household where both my parents worked at a big grocery chain store and I know a lot about brands. I remember asking about the Cornucopia and asking if that was the loom, and I also remember seeing it without it in the 2010s and thinking while they Musta took the cornucopia off their image for some reason, so I don’t know


I’m just glad your videos have improved since you made this one…


This cannot be a coincidence that we all have memories as like toddlers in my case and seeing a cornucopia on one of there products and wondering wth we were looking at. How could I just imagine putting an object that I didn't know existed into something meanwhile not even knowing the name of it or the company. Fruit of the Loom has got to be trolling.

someone definitely time traveled and fucked with the timeline in 2021, so many people are saying they learned what a cornucopia was from the logo (i didn't, but so many people say that they did that it's oddly suspicious)


2:07 was a perfect example of what he was talking about at the time.


I feel pretty strongly that I want to say the cornucopia was only on things like packaging, the plastic bag the stuff came in, but that's... a really weird setup for them to have had. It might have to do with how the label interacted with the plastic and elements around it, the border around the logo and if and where the plastic became transparent. <br>I think we'd want to look at a few original packages, either unopened or otherwise preserved, but that's a really unusual artifact to have stuck around all this time.

My theory is that the arrangement of fruit and leaves in the logo closely resemble the way fruits and leaves are arranged in drawings/decorations with cornucopias in them. And in general, what kind of basket comes to mind when a pile of fruit is seen as if sitting on a table? Why, the cornucopia, of course. Furthermore, it's more aesthetically suggested that the cornucopia go off to the right instead of the left, as the layers of the image progress towards the background from left to right, along with the way the purple grapes and the leaf behind it are sitting up so high as if propped up against something behind them to the right.

@Dp Not necessarily correct. If it was drawn from memory, the artist could have been subject to the same mental cues leading us to believe there was a cornucopia in the logo. I think the word loom also plays a part; as a child, I thought a cornucopia was called a loom because of the brand name Fruit of the Loom. But I can't recall ever seeing the logo with a cornucopia, as I don't remember well at all from never paying enough attention for it to stand out in memory. But I did think it had one in it.

Doesn’t explain “flute of the loom” drawn in 1973 whose original artist has stated that the album cover was based on the fotl logo, you don’t need to be a genius to see that.


Alot of things have changed, simple explanation is, every action has a reaction, someone's been messing with things far above their pay grade, I'm quite sure it's to do with time distortion, but it could be anyone of a thousand things.


The thing is I don't remember seeing the cornucopia but the more I see it the more correct it feels although I know it's wrong.


"Ultimately memory is a lot like underwear."

Never in a million years did I think I would ever hear such a great sentence uttered.


Does anyone not remember going into a store like Winn-Dixie back in the day & see them doing special signs for sales? I swear, I’ve seen Fruit-Loom logo on a huge cardboard sign with the brown thing in the background. I swear.


4:52 its not farfetched to believe most people associate a cornucopia and fruit, this is such a wild and bold claim


One thing missed was in the 1990’s in the UK there was (and still is with other brands) a HUGE market of fake clothing. There were loads of market stalls selling fake FOTL T-shirts and many of them actually had the cornucopia on the label. I personally had a selection of them in different colours. It was a plain T just with the logo on the label and left side of the chest. I’ve probably still got an old grey one in the spare room or garage storage box’s.


This is crazy because I simply remember it changing overnight or at least with you know I noticed it and that year I went from the cornucopia to nothing and I didn't think too much of it I just thought that they changed their logo you know people do that all the time so weird like a lot of Mandela effects creep me out but this one specifically makes life seem off to me and I'm starting to question whether or not we are living in a simulation or somehow history is changing in a blink of an eye

The spelling for Burndstein Bears, or what the heck ever its supposed to be, is another perennial favorite of the "remembering it wrong" genre.

Also I am absolutely baffled at EmpLemon here for not recognizing that "pile of fruit" might just get crossed over with "funny shaped basket" from all our Thanksgiving years and Christmas fruit baskets, and instead makes the dizzying leaps of logic to color theory and copyright symbology. Like, people are dumb sometimes, okay? You don't need a special theory for it.


That’s exactly what happened to me as a child I learned what a cornucopia was from the logo my mom told me. <br>You say you remember things you find interesting and unique when I was a kid that’s exactly how I felt about the cornucopia because it was a new object I had never seen or heard before.

I thought it had a cornucopia but showed both logos to my mom and said which logo is fruit of the loom and she pointed to one without cornucopia. <br>The creepiest part is the 3 pieces of media that purposely have a cornucopia in the logo. It's like they are purposely messing with our minds. 3 different decades, 3 different media with logos depicting a cornucopia!?! Cmon this one is WEIRD!!

Anybody else remember a couple reddish brown maple (?) Leaves behind the fruit? I distinctly remember them where the cornucopia is usually pictured, not on either side like the brown leaf version.


5:50 is the most interesting. Because why would he have the flute positioned in such a way?
If the original image (that he is parodying) never had the cornucopia, then why would he randomly make the flute behind the fruit look EXACTLY like one?

right? wouldnt he be looking at a reference to make the cover? aagh

Ok, I have some interesting data. In the Mandela Effect subreddit, a user did their best to find the person who designed that album cover, but the person was unable to answer directly so they talked through their son. The response? The son said that his father said that he based the Flute 100% on the cornucopia on the logo. He said that he tried to parody the position of the horn of plenty like it was a flute. And that it would not have made sense if the logo didn't had a horn. He said that he watched the logo very closely while painting the album cover. I can send you guys the post or you can look it up, it's very interesting.

Maybe that parody WAS the one that introduced the cornucopiflute and that's where the others actually get their memories from?<br>It was reasonably famous enough to start the whole thing.

Maybe that parody WAS the one that introduced the cornucopiflute and that's where the others actually get their memories from?
It was reasonably famous enough to start the whole thing.

Because it's warping in from a distance. It was a common visual effect on old album covers. It's just a coincidence that it looks like how we remember the logo.

@GemGen But it isn't 100% accurate even without the cornucopia/flute. There are turnips, cabbage, squash, and what looks like some kind of meat, whereas the logo is all fruits.

They had to put a flute in the picture, making it look like a cornucopia was just perfect to make it with the fruit theme.

@liquid Because it's an easy way to make the image about music. Why would the artist making a musical parody of a logo not put anything in it related to music?

@liquid Because he was also under the mandala effect? This phenomenon isn't a recent thing, its just that we only realized its effects in full recently due to the internet.

@liquid He's parodying it. A parody is not 100% accurate or else there would be copyright claims to deal with.

Thank you! I would believe that we are all just misremembering it if it wasn't for the physical evidence that was shown from the past. Surely the artist that drew the parody looked at the original while he was painting!!! Why would the artist introduce this new feature into the parody? I am baffled.


I learned about cornucopias in elementary school around thanksgiving, i wonder how many people who remember the cornucopia are from the US and got cornucopia shown to them in school


The scrambled words idea is interesting. Any native Japanese speakers know if this would work in Japanese? Or other languages like Korean/Chinese.


I first learned the word "cornucopia" as a kid from asking what it was, in the fruit of the loom logo, as a kid.  So ... this is weird.


The cornucopia as a theme has always been associated with fruit since antiquity.
The autumnal connection is a purely american one, by way of Thanksgiving.
As a continental european, imagining a horn of plenty, i see varied produce and grains, but definitely with fruit as a major part.


I love it when YouTubers make mini-documentaries on completely mundane topics like this and yet keep my attention the whole way through.


I remember acting in an elementary school play about thanksgiving and thinking about the fruit of the loom logo when wondering what a cornucopia was


I am pretty late on this, but I am NOT from the US. During a trip to Greece in 2004 I came across a t-shirt I loved, it was from Fruit of the Loom. I remember seeing some fruit on the tag and never paid much attention to it other than the shirt having great cotton fabric. I am SURE I have seen a cornucopia even though at the time I had no clue on what it was. Very odd Mandela effect.


you know. the real fruit of the loom logo looks empty without the cornucopia. it just looks right with it added in. people probably felt like something was missing and later filled in something that matched the theme of the logo


i think one of the reasons ppl in the comments feel like the cornucopia fits is because 1) the design is more proportional and balanced and 2) the icon/picture of the cornucopia that you used was adapted to fit the logo’s drawing style. the shadows and colors match. if no one had created this picture to add to the discussion, and instead we’d be using eg. photograph cutouts as pictures, people would not be as easy to jump on the idea that there was an actual cornucopia behind the fruits. i think our brains just immediately enjoy the aesthetics.


They should add it. Logo looks wrong with no cornucopia.

I don't remember any of this shit like the cornucopia (probably because I'm not American) but if you asked me to draw this logo from memory I would definitely have drawn some bananas.

@0 i bet the answer is just that the logo genuinely looks like it's missing something, from a design perspective, so on recollection people instinctively add whatever they think would fill out the logo

a cornucopia adds shape and color to the logo while making thematic sense, so it's the most common addition

@0 I never remembered this logo having a cornucopia. But after watching this I can't not think about it. I thought it was a bundle of fruit displayed on some grape vine.

@0 why not? when you're not paying attention, the brain pretty much makes up what's there (to some extent), and recent experiences/weird connections could make them think of a harp for some reason

@0 no cap I thought about a harp as well at first

I feel like we've all misremembered this logo. But I know people who have remembered it as different things. I remember there being a harp. Two of my friends remembered an actual loom depicted behind the fruit. And then my other two friends remember a cornucopia. None of us remembered just fruit. I also feel stupid for thinking it would have been a harp. Why the fuck would I think they'd put a harp on a logo about fruit? Honestly this is the only time I'm at a loss of explaining a mandela effect. I am absolutely stumped.


Fruit of the Loom is lying to us. I’m certain we’re not crazy how could so many people remember something the same totally random cornucopia without it ever being there.


We don’t really get fruit of the loom clothes where I live so I hadn’t seen the logo until I came across it in context of the Mandela effect - and yet even for me the cornucopia version just looks right, and the real logo looks empty like something is missing


Over time, some of the green leaves could fade into a brownish colour with multiple washes, to the same shade of the basket thing. I reckon that this is the cause of the anomaly.


I had three FotL shirts as a kid so it's more than possible that my memory is at fault. But I remember the fruit being placed in a basket, not cornucopia. The reason why I remember it after all those years is that the logo was very small and I never inspected it much. I always thought it was just a picture of various colored balls of wool placed in a basket and one day I was looking at it closer and I realized it was a fruit in a wool basket and suddenly it made a perfect sense to me. But now I don't know. Also, we were extremely poor so they might have easily been knock-off shirts. Which is the most rational explanation for the cornucopia misconception as well.


Don't forget the actually named "Jiffy" Cornbread mix.

Sure, but my dad and sister named the dog jiffy after the peanut butter, not the cornbread. This was in 2008.

@𝓿𝓲𝓬𝓲𝓸𝓾𝓼 hey you missed one: jiffy pop stovetop popcorn available in only one flavor: jiffy pop butter flavor popcorn, and other products jiffy pop microwave pop butter flavor popcorn and jiffy pop microwave pop "natural".

Jiffy pop is a ConAgra product, and is a subsidiary of International foods purchased by ConAgra in the year 2000.

Jiffy pop is not responsible for any accident death or dismemberment due to a misuse of their products.

@𝓿𝓲𝓬𝓲𝓸𝓾𝓼 LOL

@𝓿𝓲𝓬𝓲𝓸𝓾𝓼 LOL

@redxpen you're the third to say that after me and marble

idk what that is, i do know of jiffy lube though

@DrTocan "They" doesn't even make sense here, what are you on about?

"Don't forget they actually named "Jiffy" Cornbread mix" ? What?

The comment reads to me like "Don't forget the ACTUALLY named "Jiffy" Cornbread mix" with emphasis on Actually to show how it is actually named Jiffy, whereas our memory is incorrect, and no peanut butter was ACTUALLY named Jiffy. I think you just misunderstood the sentence. Unless you are adding words and rearranging sentences to make them make sense "Don't forget THEY actually named Cornbread mix 'Jiffy'"

@UShallKnow My Wal-Mart carried Jiffy crust kits two years back.  Haven't been able to find them since, but they were great.

How could I forget? I live in the town where the factory is

yeah bro I've got like 20 boxes of that shit in my cupboard

Or their pizza crust mix.  That was some good stuff to make pizza on.

There's also Jiffy Pop, a brand of popcorn that comes in an aluminum foil pan. I remember eating some while camping as a kid.

I wonder how many people will read your “the” as “they”


Learning a new language with non-latin characters will show you just how fallible your memory can truly be.


Who drew that cornucopia in that style though? I feel like I have seen that “infamous” drawing, maybe not in a store or something, but definitely online.


im not even from the country that fruit of the loom markets at, but since my dad own one of those shirts growing up. i  remember that cornucopia horn thing on the tag explicitly.i remember having an entire confersation in my head about it and its so weird....i still own that shirt and just when i knew people werent sure of the horn things existence i went back to the shirt and it wasnt there

 i didnt even knew thanksgiving  was a holiday, or what it was even called. i just assumed it was a horn  and was called a loom...

come on man, here i am binge watching a creator who i have only just recently found and he just has to bring up the fact that my beloved falcons choked away that lead 😭 i’ll never escape this hell


I vividly remember thinking that cone thing was a weird waffle cone as a kid.

@12345 678 That would be the most logical answer but if you search for old old pictures of the fruit of the loom logo you’ll notice that no one picture has a cornucopia in it. So, it’s very weird how not one person on the earth has a single picture of the fruit of the loom logo with a cornucopia. So obviously “12345 678” that’s not the answer to this mandala affect.

I thought they got rid of it to simplify the logo...

I distinctly remember thinking it was a croissant


okay well you have to consider that especially in American tradition, even if the word cornucopia isn't thought of, the brown basket is simply commonly associated with arrays of food like on the logo of fruit of the loom. Though the word is uncommon, the object is a recognizable part of thanksgiving tradition and it could have just been associated with the logo since it is an array of food.


The ultimate showdown footage at 10:41 is a throwback


...never heard of fruit on the loom, the fruits and the weird thingy as I like to call it is an entirely different brand. I imagine looking up brands in Asia cause I cannot be asked


While the Berenstain/Berenstein Bears Mandela Effect has never resonated with me (I totally get how kids back in the day looked over the name and forever commit the wrong name to memory, certain that it was always that way), this one has hit me hard in recent years.  I swear I remember that damn cornucopia in the Fruit of the Loom logo, I swear it was always there, I didn't need any video to call attention to it, I have clear as day memories of seeing that cornucopia, that seems far harder to misremember than an 'e' instead of an 'a' in a last name.


11/10 for using a clip from “Smiling Friends.”

No, but seriously, this was a great video! Informative and enjoyable as always!

I smiled when I saw it :) little Zach is going places.


Your videos and channel are like a drug unpredictable and interesting


Actualy good video essays… good job emplemon


I personally remember that 8 used to come before 7. Yes I was very young and a mistaken tick of a teacher might have caused it but it's still very weird.


maybe you could explain this with something similar to mass hysteria ? one person incorrectly remembers it and hearing someone else recall so vividly something they remember makes you think back and add false details to memories? every time you recall a memory from your long term memory you remember it correctly less and less each time. similar to mass hysteria


I swear sometime in elementary school they made us colour what looked like the fruit of the loom with the cornucopia during thanksgiving and that’s why it’s in my memory.

Thats exactly what I was thinking, that people took the fruit of the loom logo and used it as a reference to make images with cornucopias of fruit.

Oh wow, that makes a lot of sense actually

same situation with me but then I went home and I asked my parents what that viking horn was suppose to be and they said it was a cornucopia. I asked like on the commercial (had no clue it was for underwear, I just new it involved a loom) ? They said yes. the memory was strong because they spend a long time helping me pronounce cornucopia and I proceeded to impress my friends and sisters by telling them the word every time I saw the image on TV.

This is what I was thinking must have happened too


I distinctly remember no cornucopia, maybe being in England where cornucopia are less prevalent (no thanksgiving) has an effect.


i've never believed these "Mandala Effect" theories. i've always considered them to be stupid, pointless and an excuse for people to make excuses for their patchy, inconsistent memories.

which makes it all the more hilarious when I fall for one myself.


I remember fact-based videos with intrusive musical backgrounds that make you mute and CC the whole thing before giving up. And get this : NO ONE can tell you why Youtube content creators instinctively reach for this musical ketchup to pour onto their metaphorical steak of content.


We swapped memory for language early on, and it's literally the reason we're a social species; without consensus, not one of us would remember to get dressed in the morning.


The cornucopia logo looks better, personally.<br>So if they didn’t have it, they should have.

The cornucopia logo looks better, personally.
So if they didn’t have it, they should have.

That's the truth. Although, the cornucopia changes the box outline of the logo from a rectangle to a square, making it take up a lot more tag space.


My memory of learning of what a cornucopia is while reading The Hunger Games. I decided to look it up and I had the exact thought "oh like the old fruit of the loom" logo.


I remember it pretty vividly so something had to exist like that even if it wasn't fruit of the loom


I just have very distinctive memories of being in the Walmart kids section when I was around five and looking at the display and that darn cornucopia was there 😭


okay i know emp explained it as the human brain just doesnt waste the time or energy to fully understand something that is so mundane and unimportant such as a branding on underwear, but honestly i think theres multiverses, because i cannot wrap my head around something so detailed, and unique just being made up.


The real conspiracy is how this dude went from making YTPS to full in mini documentaries


I don’t think it never had a cornucopia I think what is happening is we associate piles of fruits and Vegatable with cornucopias from all the fall images of them and when we see the fruits we imagine a cornucopia. <br>There is also some factor of the cornucopia looks like it fits and we never actually think about what it used to look like

Collocation -
A collocation is made up of two or more words that are commonly used together in English.

‘fruit’ ‘loom’ and ‘cornucopia’

This is a language related compression of memory. The mystery isn’t about the logo. The mystery is that we would collectively correct the logo to match for our linguistic colocates.
Thanksgiving festivals hark back to a time when looms and cornucopias were prevalent in daily life. People don’t think of today’s mechanical looms when they think of the word, the word loom single handedly brings the mind into a pre-industrialization context. A collection of fruit in the context of such a time would be related to a gathering of exuberance, and when we think of a pre-industrial celebration, our nearest frame of reference is thanksgiving holidays.


For me George never had a tail, but I do recall as a small child the fruit of the look having the cornucopia


I specifically remember asking my mom what the cornucopia was on the logo as a young child !


Meanwhile in an alternate universe
“Didn’t the Fruit Of The Loom logo never have a cornucopia?”

*Meanwhile in an alternate universe*

Those are the people we switched realities with lol

"Didn't the Fruit of the Cornucopia logo have a loom on it?"

"Didn't the Fruit of the Loom logo have fruits?"


Quantum Immortality might explain this phenomenon. Basically the theory states that we can only perceive timelines or realities where we are in fact alive. It's possible that there was in fact a reality where minor differences occurred (fruit of the loom, bearenstain bears, shazam, etc), but this version of our reality was catastrophically destroyed via some asteroid or nuclear event that we have so conveniently avoided in our current timeline.

or maybe people’s memories are just shit


The F&G example may have been the most similar my memory can come up with . Whats weird is I completely and for sure know I remember seeing the logo and im 18 years younger than my mother but she remembers no such cornucopia absolutely maddening


In second grade I learned the word cornucopia in class and the teacher brought up the fruit of the loom logo when she explained it to us. I specifically associate it with that logo and can't imagine another cornucopia kids at that time would be familiar with.


Berenstein bears were definitely spelt stein. I've asked multiple people who don't know about the mandela effect how to spell it and they always say and remember it as stein. 100%. As for some of the other examples, I cant say for sure but that one I remember for sure.


I definitely remember the logo having the cornucopia.  I had an plain white tshirt that still had it up until a few years ago. I remember asking what happened to the cornucopia and having a conversation about the commercial with the people dressed like the fruit and thinking the cornucopia wasn't in the commercial because the costume would be so lame. It's crazy this is a Mandela Effect. Super weird.


I think it's as simple as; the logo looks better with a cornucopia. People see the logo with a cornucopia painted behind it, and as it is more aesthetically pleasing, they prefer that version. People could easily lie about remembering or having conversations about the cornucopia and spread the idea further. Others could perhaps be remembering conversations about other Mandela effect items and confusing them with Fruit of the Loom as it is a popular topic.


The Pikachu one makes sense now because the female Pikachus' in games have a heart shaped tail, and in the remakes of generation 3 there is a special Pikachu you can dress up; her heart on her tail is black.


It's easily plausible that people could confuse the logo for having a cornucopia, considering they're mostly associated with food, but it's also not confused for being on other brand logos and packaging like Capri Sun, as in the video, because it'd look out of place on a Capri Sun label

Edit: NOT ME! I haven't used it in months, and it's great


"Meet the folks who remember New Zealand being in a different place," I've met them and here we just call them kids who didn't pay attention in geography.

@desallis Then how can you explain Split Enz?

There's surprisingly many world maps or illustrations that outright miss New Zealand (there's a subreddit for it and that made it into the and there was an IKEA map forgetting them in early 2019, that should be easy to find in the news archives). Who'll really notice if they shift up by a couple hundred kilometres? Hell, switch them with Japan and people won't even notice.

From New Zealand, I can confirm we don't exist, stop looking for us

Im genuinely positive i've seen (maybe just really low quality) maps with NZ in the wrong spot. Props to them for not forgetting it entirely

more like, not paying attention to geography and [doubling down] on that 'belief' that it was where they remembered it


I haven't thought about Fruit of the Loom for years but when I saw the logo with the cornucopia, I swore it was the right one lol


I feel like the cornucopia here is exactly like the monocle on the Monopoly Guy―traditional cornucopia imagery looks a lot like the Fruit of the Loom logo. It may not be as common an image today, but it somehow feels like it wasn't all that rare in Thanksgiving depictions a few years ago

I feel like the cornucopia here is _exactly_ like the monocle on the Monopoly Guy―traditional cornucopia imagery looks a _lot_ like the Fruit of the Loom logo. It may not be as common an image today, but it somehow feels like it wasn't all that rare in Thanksgiving depictions a few years ago


the reason why this mandela effect baffles me so much is because i have a specific, very vivid memory related to it.

i was VERY young, i wanna say 2 or 3, maybe 4? i was in walmart with my mom and my older brother and i wandered off, still within the sight of my mom. at the end of the aisle my mom was in there was one of those lone cardboard stands filled w fruit of the loom underwear. i remember it being blue and plastered with the logo, cornucopia and all. my mom came over to grab some since that was the brand my brother wore. i asked my mom what the brown thing was and she said a cornucopia. that was too big of a word for me though, so i dubbed it the loom since the brand name was FRUIT of the LOOM. it just seemed to make sense.

i asked my brother if he remembered the cornucopia and he said he did. when seeing the current logo he literally exclaimed “what the fuck?” and honestly same. i personally believe that the logo may have been a seasonal variant, as i remember on that specific shopping trip we were shopping for back to school, in the fall. though i do have other memories of the altered logo beyond that one shopping trip, the story i told is the most vivid. i just. really don’t know. i’m positive this happened.


I must not have come from the alternate timeline where there was a cornucopia - because when i first saw the side-by-side it struck me as out of place.


"We tend to remember whatever we find important, fascinating, or unique". How appropriate you put a clip of Ultimate Showdown with this, back in the day I could recite pretty much the entire thing and it became as likely to pop up at our parties as Disney songs or other early viral songs when drinks started to flow.


While I think the Mandela Effect is totally bunk, there's an excellent X Files episode written by Darin Morgan that does an excellent job using it as a plot device called "The Lost Art of Forehead Sweat". Highly recommended.


I don't live in the USA but I have seen a bunch of food logos with the cornucopia.

It's quite possible that there is cross-contamination in memories from other companies knocking them off


The Monopoly guy one gets me. I could swear I remember him with a monocle, and in Ace Ventura they make a Monopoly guy joke that involves a dude with a Monopoly guys.


There must have been a lot of knockoffs in the 70s-80s, cuz I absolutely remember that cornucopia in the logo. No doubt.


I swear there was a cornucopia in the Fruit of Loom logo that just looked EXACTLY like the one you use in the video so I don't know how it can be so accurate but yet not exist. Like I feel the whole universe has bend backwards to just gaslight us.

@PyreGnome Why would thousands of people just make up a random object of a popular logo. I can see miss spelling of the bear stain bears. Or mirror mirror on the wall. But a random object that thousands of random strangers remember is kind of hard to explain. Some people even learned about the cornucopia from the logo so...

@Trevor Valance If anything that just proves that human brains are unreliable in similar ways. Maybe if our memories inserted random nonsense into memories you would be correct, but it's more likely that some common thread leads people to misremember the logo in a similar way

@/X/EN on an individual basis, sure.

However, when you've got a few tens of thousands of people all remembering an identical and specific object each on an individual basis with no collusion between them including multiple creators of popular media throughout multiple decades referencing this misremembered piece (all of these references being made before this was even a popularized "conspiracy"), going "lol human brain dum" seems just a bit lacking...

Not to mention the unbelievably large number of people who will swear up and down there's a cornucopia meanwhile I've never seen a single person volunteer to swear on their mothers soul no cornucopia existed (save for Fruit of the Loom themselves). You'd think that if there truly wasn't one at least ONE person would come out and say "yeah I remember spending an hour staring at the logo once as a kid cause I was dumb and bored and there totally wasn't a cornucopia."

Nobody anywhere that I've seen has been prepared to swear to the "true" logo, meanwhile there's an endless stream of people willing to swear to the exact same non-existent one.

I kinda remember it had a cornucopia but i use froot of the loom so i for sure knew it did have

@/X/EN

Which government agency do you work for... we all know this is the government trying to see if they can influence the memory of the public

I honestly think this cornucopia discrepancy is literally an example of someone gaslighting us.

The cornucopia existed, you’ve just shifted timelines.

somebody edited this simulation because i'm absolutely sure it existed

I Remember the oddly braided rim too. I thought it was a viking horn for the longest time, why I remembered it so vividly.


With so many comments on this video, I doubt anyone will see this, but I just wanted to share something. In response to this video I googled trying to see if there were any logos from my past similar to fruit of the loom that may be just not be nationally known enough for you to mention. I didn’t find any. However, I found a bunch of cornucopia drawings that very much reminded me of the fruit of the loom logo. I think that might be what’s going on here. We see a bunch of cornucopia drawings that look similar to the logo and gradually start to conflate the two

If there never was an actual cornucopia on the logo why would millions of people falsely associate drawings of fruit in a cornucopia with a random logo that has just fruit on it, the cornucopia is such an obvious and specific detail that it makes it a huge stretch to assume that drawings of fruit with a cornucopia would be associated with the logo that just has fruit on it, when people think of piles of fruit nobody automatically imagines them being in cornucopias and even if they did it still doesn’t explain why people are “misremembering”


I kinda remember it having a cornicopia too!!! especially in the early 00s when they still did the commercials with the men dressed as the fruit.


I find this funny because I use too only by Fruit of the Loom underwear until my senior year and genuinely believed it had the cornucopia


I asked my mom what that thing at the back was while we were  purchasing socks. She remembers being embarrassed because she couldn’t answer and told me it was a loom. I think it was on one poster at Wal-Mart or Ames.


I feel like a fact a lot of people look over when it comes to the Mandela effect is the media bias, certain misrememberings are present all throughout TV and can greatly influence memories.

@Denice Sandburg seems like I'm one of the few who never remembered a cornucopia at all

Human memory is straight up terrible, almost everything you see everywhere influences your memory of everything else, because it’s a monky brain designed to recognize predators. I’m sure 99% of the people claiming to have seen the cornucopia logo just saw some Thanksgiving clip art that looked similar


Sometimes i feel like in the late 1990s early 2000s we all missed a new story talking about how "the name of [brand name here] mysteriously changed to [close to brand name here] yet it was never [brand name here]" then the government was like "maybe we shouldn't talk about this" and we've only been noticing personally meaningful things here and there.


Idk man. I’ve seen a lot of cornucopias with fruit in them as a kid wether in school or on the internet. There’s a good chance that we see that fruit in that kind of order and just assume it to be there.


Ask a photo memory savant what they remember the fruit of the loom logo looked like.


Interesting thing that the indie video game "Atomicrops" uses cornucopias as the currency for the permanent upgrades.


it's wild to me that people would rather believe "there's multiple universes and they got mixed up" over the obvious reality of "we just misremembered the same stuff that seems obvious"

When "we" is literally millions of people, you have to admit something is going on.


"Wait, Fruit of the Loom is an oversimplified logo now?"
aims gun "Always has been."

"Wait, Fruit of the Loom is an oversimplified logo now?"
*aims gun* "Always has been."


In my mind a lot of the “Mandela effects” is like the winners/warehouse store brand of everything where someone mistyped one thing once and sold it to those places for bulk

Because most of the Mandela effects are products where someone saw and remember a certain look of a brand because it was a cheap version of it and majority of people never really notice the basic logo of the actual product


The phrase “fruit of the loom” makes people wonder what a loom is and why fruit is in it. Then they assume that a loom is that weaved cornucopia thing. Cornucopias also have fruit in them for some reason. 2+2=false memories.


I sweeeaaar I learned the horn of plenty from my parents while staring fruit of the loom logo!!


I have never heard or seen fruit of the loom since I don't live in the US, but the cornucopia just seems to belong


The version I remember had the regular small fruits you see here, but then a big honkin' banana defying gravity and rising out of the center of them (well it leaned slightly left).  I'm pretty sure that was a parody, though.  Possibly Mad Magazine or Cracked?


Weird, I always remembered those earbuds as being called "Roycons".


If the logo never contained a cornucopia, then where did that drawing of a cornucopia that fits perfectly with the logo style come from?

adding a flute shaped like cornucopia helps play off the title

Someone made it to illustrate how it would look.

Maybe a graphic designer wanted to show "I remember it as X" / was commissioned to draw it ("hey, Joe. Can you draw that logo? But with a c …corn … horn of plenty behind?").


I remember learning the word cornucopia because of Fruit of the Loom. Weird.


I wonder if there was one really prominent either parody or reference to fruit of the loom in mass culture that first included the cornucopia and then lead to everyone referencing that. Sort of like the nickname for Jim in Huck Finn, who is never actually named anything but Jim. There's one sentence where he is identified by the n word, but more as a label of his job and not capitalized as if it was part of a Proper noun. A prominent essayist actually coined the nickname way later and that name stuck.


I think the cornucopia just appears with fruit so it's easy to add it to the image


I was expecting a rant on the new "right to monetize" stuff from YouTube, but he delivers on Fruit of the Loom. Never change, Emp

I don’t want another rant from Emp, ever again.


I didn't know what a cornucopia was until I seen my fruit of the loom underwear as a kid, and when I did see it, my stupid kid self thought the cornucopia was a big Bugel chip and I wondered why they would use a big chip mixed with fruit for a logo.


The fruit of the loom may never have had a cornucopia, but the original logo had a brown table visible under the fruits… that feels weirder and even LESS satisfying to me


i never got any of these effects except for when my friend said that blue from blues clues was a boy, and when i went online to prove that blue was a girl and magenta was a boy, i lerned they were apparently both girls. even though i watched blues clues until i was 16 with my little brother, and i always thought it was cool how the pink dog was a boy and the blue one was a girl.


I’m not sure about all the Mandela effects, but I have a memory of shopping in target with my mom when I was little and asking what that thing was on the fruit of the loom logo and her saying that it’s a cornucopia. I know that happened.

I think the problem is...I know for a fact I have memories that aren't mine.
meaning...there are things that I'll see, or someone will say something of their own memory, that supposedly included me, or I'll read sometninf...and I'm like, "oh, I remember that" but I honestly 100% honestly do NOT remember it. memory only having a piece of what was said or read or whatever.
of course I remember I played basketball last year in the park on a pretty clouded day...after you tell me we wwre there. is it ME remembering or is it my mind picturing what you said, and placing it in a frame that I feel like is a past experience?

I enjoy being as honest as I can with myself. I WANT to know everything and remember all things, but I have to be honest. There are things that I only have a picture of based on someone else's testimony.  ot my own clear memory.

You probably just heard SOMWONE ELSE say something like that....and you searched your memory for a time you questioned about that underwear logo...but it wasn't about a cornucopia. it was probably JUST a random question...mixed with someone else saying they saw a cornucopia...and your memory honestly don't even picture the fruit even. like, on your own, you probably don't even remember seeing the fruit. you just remember a question with your mother...and you theb inserted the testimonial thoughts of others, and created that image with the cornucopia into your own past thoughts.


Man, I can never get over how much work you put into these videos. 👍🏿   I try making a youtube video and give up after a day.


I don't think the counterarguments starting at around 04:20 stand up. Half the pictures on that google image search have green and purple grapes, which fall outside the red-brown color palette that the cornucopia was supposedly restricted to seconds later.  I found all of those images immediately reminiscent of the FotL logo, which is likely how the memory got suggested (I'm sure similar pictures popped up during school Thanksgiving projects, just as one example).

The Capri Sun images did not have the same reminiscence at all to me. I suspect it's a combination of the lack of color variety, the physical arrangement of the fruit, or the existing background details (splashing water).


I see a lot of people theorize that the reason why they remember the cornucopia being there is because they saw that object a lot throughout their childhood during Thanksgiving, but here’s my take…
I am from Poland, we don’t have Thanksgiving, and I also vividly remember the logo always having that cornucopia being there. In fact, I don’t think I ever see that object anywhere else except when relating to the Fruit of the Loom logo.
When my parents were children, Poland was still mostly under communist influence, and “less technologically developed” than neighboring countries that benefited from things like, I dunno, American TV.
Yet my parents also vividly remember a cornucopia in the logo. A cornucopia is something they strictly associate with the Fruit of the Loom logo…
So this is a seriously strange phenomenon.


Fun fact: In europe, they're known for (low quality) t-shirts, not underwear. Often used in merch products stemming from the 90s/00s.


I clearly remember it back in the 90s it changed, figured it was a rebrand until it was disappeared forever other than collective memory


emp can talk about the process of paint drying and i'll still be interested

Please.  Please don’t give him any ideas

Please.  Please don’t give him any ideas

I mean... Behr, Sherwan-Willams, and Dupont...


I think the golden ratio may be playing a role here. A lot of people agree that the logo looks better with the horn. Describing it as being a more “complete” image. I think the logo is more visually appealing to the human brain with an object about that size in that area.


4:37 for me thats the answer, every thanksgiving cornucopia has fruit, so the fruit logo must have a cornucopia too
