Fruit of the Loom logo sparks fierce debate that has people questioning everything about their childhood
If you remember walking into K-Mart with your mom as a kid to grab a value pack of Fruit of the Loom t-shirts with a cornucopia printed on the label, your memory would be slightly faulty.

The official logo never actually contained the weaved item, or so the company says.
This has turned into a years long internet debate that has since re-sparked this week after an X user posted a photo of a t-shirt with a Fruit of the Loom that seemed to have the cornucopia printed on it, writing: Dont tell me it didnt exist.
But the company insists the horn of plenty was never actually apart of its logo, which has changed at least seven times since its conception, its website showed.
We have never featured a cornucopia as part of our trademarked "cluster," the company told DailyMail.com in a statement on Friday.
If one ever appeared in an ad it would have been part of a marketing campaign, but NEVER as part of our official brand logo.
But internet sleuths are convinced they have proven the company is lying and it was an official part of the logo.
In fact, a woman named Nicole lost sleep over the logo in 2023 and said she found the proof.

Ive got to the bottom of the Fruit of the Loom cornucopia Mandela Effect and Im upset, she said in a December 2023 video.
The young woman found an old newspaper clipping, which she claimed said the Fruit of the Loom logo was initially a cornucopia swollen with an apple, green grapes, purple grapes, and their green leaves.
She did not reveal which paper or when it was published.
Nicole also claimed a woman named Claire found an old sweat-stained shirt that featured the weaved item.
Im convinced this is 100 percent corporate gaslighting, Nicole deadpanned, saying it was a ploy for views. Should we just admire their marketing or do we open a class-action lawsuit to be reimbursed for emotional damage?
Others even pulled out 1974 trademark that was canceled in 1988, stating that the design included a cornucopia.
However, the active trademark, filed in 1981, does not mention a cornucopia.
Several Redditors have also taken to the forum site to post photos of the cornucopia logo printed on a tent, a clothing item, and more, convinced these images prove the logo had to have included it, but Snopes, a well-known fact checking site, said otherwise.

The only time the cornucopia has featured on the logo was on April Fools Day in 2022
The fact checking site found the cornucopia labels people were posting to the internet came from two sources - an 2017 Imgur image and an 2022 April Fools joke by the company itself.
The 2017 image became popular after Buzzfeed used it in a Mandela Effect quiz, while the 2022 joke appeared on the clothing companys website for the holiday.
Even an old ad from 1987, showed the current label with just fruit and leaves.
Although the company has told DailyMail.com it was never a part of its official logo, only time will tell if the internets collective memory of the cornucopia is actually true.
For now, the company continues to deny all allegations against their logo on their social media pages, despite die hard fans claiming they know the truth.
