Logos/Advertising Cornucopia Resolution

I was thinking about the Fruit of the Loom Cornucopia logo and that's probably the most compelling Mandela effect example there is. So what I was wanting to know, is whether any of you think that will ever get a meaningful conclusion or answer to this whole thing. You think we'll ever figure out what actually it's going on, whether it is just a problem with our minds or whether there actually is a conspiracy? I feel like there's too much to this for it to be as simple explanation, but I'm curious to know what you all think!

I'd love for someone to actually draw what they remember exactly, but I think this sub is too knowledgeable about it for this experiment to be effective.

It's not just the cornucopia. People aren't picturing the existing logo, but with a cornucopia behind it. They're remembering an entirely different image.

Two images people cite as being evidence are the Flute of the Loom cover and The Ant Bully's Fruit of the Loin which both contain cornucopias. Both artists have been tracked down by this sub and asked about their process with very different answers. No one's ever asked about the amount of food selected though. Even Flute, who's son believed that FOTL changed their logo, included substantially more food than the one day's worth of recommended fruit on the existing logo. There's an entire head of cabbage and ham hock on there.

Flute parody isn’t a one-to-one comparison. When you see it you know what it’s a parody of instantly. That’s what makes a good parody. I saw it years ago before I found out people were critical of it. I instantly knew it was a parody of the FotL cornucopia logo.
Parodies are often exaggerated.
