I vividly remember the cornucopia in the “Fruit of the Loom” logo because my mother would purchase tees for my father. What piqued my intrigue was the fact that I hadn’t the faintest clue what the basket containing the fruit was called. To be honest, I’d just acknowledge it as such and left it at that. Years later, I would learn that this so-called basket, the cornucopia, had, in fact, never existed! Enter the ‘Mandela Effect’: a widely discussed phenomenon in which a great number of our population misremember certain events or situations. Misinterpretation or even a fabricated perception of childhood memories are theoretically to blame.
