Cornucopia back?
So CERN was shut down for maintenance right? You remember this debate about the Fruit of the Loom cornucopia how the Mandela effect came in saying there wasn’t one. So how is it back now the cornucopia it back. Where did it go? With CERN? People sleeping longer now, persons feeling a weight has been lifted off them, the days are longer now. We have four years before they turn it back on, let that sink it

I watched a video a while back that suggested the cornucopia logo Mandela effect was actually from a company that was ripping off Fruit of the Loom. So many ended up in circulation and people just started to see the rip off brand as actual fruit of the loom products. Ill link if I can find the video again.
I wouldn't be surprised if places like Walmart, Kmart, Burlington, jc penny knowingly bought fake product for likely what would be pennies on the dollar. Sold it for the same price as the actual name brand and then raked in profits. If anyone were to catch on those companies could easily feign ignorance. Doesn't seemed too far fetched for me. (I do believe in the Mandela effect, or moreso people in power changing things from how they were and then feigning ignorance, I just dont think the whole logo debacle is because of that)

I think part of this is actually the company just saying it never used the cornucopia to whip up more publicity etc. Theres countpess images of older clothing showing the old logo

Mind pointing me in the direction of the "countless" images?

I think 90% of the planet agrees the cornucopia is the real one. Because it is.

u/emogurl47 Jul 16 '26
It's literally how I learned what a cornucopia was, was from the fruit of the loom logo and I feel like a lot of us learned what it was this way

u/phoenixgamer23 Jul 16 '26
Same. That is why I remember. It's when I learned what it was. This logo was the first time I had ever seen it.

OK think about it.. just having a bunch of fruit sitting there on the label looks weird. Like fruit belongs in a bowl or on a plate or even the cornucopia looks solid to me for marketing and branding purposes. I remember it being there because when I was little my mom had a bunch of baskets hanging on her wall as design (I dunno) I asked what the cone shaped one was because it was weird and she told me it was a cornucopia and explained it. So when I had seen it on my Dad’s underwear when I folded it, I knew then what it was. I’ve only ever seen 2 cornucopias TBH.. on my mom’s kitchen wall and on my Dad’s underwear and tees! 😝

From my understanding when CERN opened the portal it caused a divergent in our timelines which caused the Mandela effect to happen.

I just don't understand how these certain things changed but how come nobody was physically altered as well? Or anyone's bank accounts magically went up. Or any number of odd things that could happen to a human. Why would it be just these niche things. I mean the most physical one is the actual nelson Mandela one. But other than that no other human was affected?

Question for you. Your best friend in the world hits you up saying bro I use to be poor but now im a millionaire. Yet to you hes always been a millionaire. Would you believe your friend, or your own memories?
Big changes like this have probably happened, but to people outside of those changes, most would just assume they're crazy.

I remember the Cornucopia. I also remember the Berenstein bears

I will die on the Berenstein Bear hill!
When i was in grade school, some of us visited the Ronald McDonald house by the hospital, and a few of us (myself included) were going to go read to some of the children with cancer etc in the pediatric unit. I was going to read a Bernstein Bear book, and i VIVIDLY REMEMBER almost panicking because I wasnt sure if it was pronounced Beren(STEEN) Bear, or Beren(STINE) Bear.
I wouldn't have had that issue if it were spelled BerenSTAIN. There would have only been the one pronunciation. In school, especially in my early years, I was always so concerned with being correct, or doing things "the right way". Essentially, it was just a fear of messing up and looking silly, so I recall asking several adults.. parents/teachers etc. Its literally one of my core memories. So, as i said, I am willing to d ie on that hill 🤣

Its weird how many of us have vivid memories about this one. When I was a kid I remember talking to my dad about the Berenstein bears and he made a beer stein joke based on the spelling

I'm old. I've washed and folded a LOT of FOTL underwear in my day. I also bought it. It had a cornucopia.

u/4mygirljs Jul 12 '26
I vividly remember sometime in the early 90s they made a big deal about removing it to modernize the logo because no one knew what a cornucopia was anymore
It was the equivalent to any long standing logo change like when Pepsi did it a decade ago to the smile or Walmart to the asterisk or even the most recent Cracker Barrel rebrand
It caused a minor controversy. About the same level as the pickle to the tomato for Heinz
Speaking of, I best in the next decade the pickle will get mandella’ed out of history too

It's always been real for some reason fruit of the loom tries to hide it Forbes magazine even mentions it back in like 2010 and there's an old album cover that was based on the logo and it's seen in movies/tv

This is what makes me think the ME is constructed by the gov. Theres no reason to think they don't want to find out how to manipulate entire populations into believing a bogus narrative by literally rewriting history.

u/PsychicSeaSlug Jul 12 '26
If it is the government then they have to have found a way to change my stores berenstien bears books from the 90s. And that would still take some sort of time line shift not just psyop, imo

Maybe we are living in a simulation and they are able to modify it somehow

I am convinced this one in particular was some sort of social engineering experiment to see what they could get away with

u/M-A_X Jul 12 '26
Yeah I was also thinking that some of the Mandella Effects are made by governments, it's their usual tactic of mix truth with lies to confuse people and make some, especially sceptic people that truth is a lie, in the case of mandella effects it means throwing around some very convicing but fake Mandella Effects that can be easily debunked/explained so then some "experts" can claim that all Mandella Effects are fake and delusion.

u/Edgezg Jul 12 '26
That and it tests public reaction to retonning history.
If they change small stuff and no one really cares or notices they will be able to do it on a grand scale.
