Ms. Marion Stokes recorded over 30 years of content on VHS tapes. Shows, movies, politics perches, commercials... everything! She left that footage to Internet Archives. This footage will have the answers to most of our questions. Assuming it wasn't altered. Thoughts?

There is no solving this. There is no mistaking brown leaves or other things for a cornucopia. The Fruit of the Loom logo used to be this. There's no disputing that. It doesn't even look right without the cornucopia to those who remember it. Why does Fruit of the Loom say it never existed? Who knows, while theories abound, it's a mystery we will likely never solve unless

1. A major disaster or cataclysm happens, and a few leftover people manage to get access to some heavily classified shit, or

2. Someone who actually knows what's going on manages to tell us without getting himself hanged by a scarf from a doorknob.

Until one of those two things happens, just accept that we don't know why the fuck this is happening, because we don't.

I am SICK TO DEATH of Fruit Of The Loom gaslighting us into believing they never had a cornucopia in their logo. They did, I know it, and I will not settle for any other truth. That is all.

i don't know what to do with all of my feelings regarding this M.E so i made art

I can swear there was a robber emoji. It had like a grey beanie, a beard and wore a black and white striped shirt.

I was reading this sub and decided to rummage through my dresser. I found a T-shirt from the 1980’s that a friend had screen printed with my band’s logo that he drew. The shirt was given to me in 1987 but possible could have been a year or two old before it was printed on. The label was wadded up into a little ball but I flattened it out with the lens of my reading glasses.

I have no theories or opinions to post. Just wanted to share a logo from the mid-80’s.

If it was bad memories why do we all remember the same thing....

Also ask chargpt it will tell you the truth vs whatever this subreddit is trying to do

Likewise, personal "glitches" seem like they'd be the result of someone altering the past on a personal scale.

I'm beginning to think time travellers are the blame for all of these occurrences.

Found a copy of The Berenstain Bears book from my.parents house from over 25 years ago, still in ok condition. Hope this helps clear things up

I remember looking at the logo as a kid liking the cornucopia because it reminded me of thanksgiving and good times.

Tell me that it existed, it did. Right?

cornucopia fruit of the loom

Admit it, seeing the original Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc. is kinda weird after seeing the two-eyed meme template so often.

Edit: Here's a picture of the meme: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/mike-wazowski-sulley-face-swap and of the original: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/pixar/images/c/ca/Mike_Wazowski_010.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20130515214252

After the United Nations adopted the Equal Area map projection that more accurately represents Africa's size, I'm willing to bet people are gonna be confused and think we shifted timelines to explain why Africa looks much bigger on maps.

Idk if this has been posted before, but there actually exists an official Monopoly man with a monocle. Here is said monocle This is on the (Dutch) junior Monopoly

I was scrolling on TikTok and saw a reel featuring a shop in Great Yarmouth that has the 'old timeline' FOTL logo. I looked into it, found the actual location on Google Maps, and discovered that the shop still uses it!

Is this the proof that FOTL actually had a cornucopia?

My friend found these in her storage!

Ok, some of these like the Jiffy thing I think is correct because I remember Jif peanut butter and I also remember Jiffy mix; I can see that mix up.

Now, the fruit of the loom cornucopia thing I definitely remember and the image on the right seems like it's "new" like I know what I saw as a kid BUT my thing is...if most of this stuff didn't actually exist ...how do they know what specifically to point out we supposedly didn't actually see?

I don't know if anyone has brought this up before, so pardon me if this is the case.

I have a theory that I believe explains most cases of collectively misremembered names and images. According to it, the formation process of the Mandela Effect goes as follows:

1 - There are common and repeated patterns that we observe everywhere and that become infused in our minds (e.g. a monkey has a tail, 'fruit' is spelled with 'ui', etc.)

2 - A brand, character, etc. has a peculiar, unique trait that violates that pattern (e.g. George doesn't have a tail, Froot Loops is spelled with 'oo')

3 - That special trait is ignored or overlooked by most people, often because it is not much emphasized or important

4 - When remembering that brand, character etc., people picture it without the peculiar trait

5 - People check the image or spelling and are shocked to realize that the special pattern is there

Here I indicate the violated common patterns in some famous Mandela effects:

- Bereinstain Bears

: The suffix -stein is common in many German surnames, such as Einstein, Goldstein, Bärnstein, Mannstein, etc.

: Berenstain, spelled with an 'a', is an exception to it

: This exception is an unimportant or unemphasized detail to us so it goes unnoticed and the name is misremembered

- Monopoly Guy

: The stereotypical image of the 19th-century rich man typically includes a top hat and a monocle (google "rich man monocle")

: The Monopoly Guy has a top hat but exceptionally lacks the monocle

: This exception is an unimportant or unemphasized detail to us so it goes unnoticed and the image is misremembered

- Cap'n Crunch

: The full word "Captain" is much more common than the contraction "Cap'n"

: The cereal's name is an exception to it

: This exception is an unimportant or unemphasized detail to us so it goes unnoticed and the name is misremembered

- C-3PO

: We don't commonly see otherwise monochromatic individuals with a part of their body having a different color

: C-3PO, being golden with a silver leg, is an exception to it

: This exception is an unimportant or unemphasized detail to us so it goes unnoticed and the image is misremembered

- George the Curious

: Monkeys have tails and are commonly depicted in cartoons with them (e.g. Boots from Dora the Explorer, Abu from Aladdin)

: George, being actually a chimp and not a monkey, lacks a tail

: This exception is an unimportant or unemphasized detail to us so it goes unnoticed and the image is misremembered

- Froot Loops

: Fruit is spelled with 'ui'

: Froot Loops is an exception to this: it is spelled with two Os to make it look like the cereal's shape

: This exception is an unimportant or unemphasized detail to us so it goes unnoticed and the name is misremembered

- Looney Tunes

: When talking about cartoons, we expect to see "toon" in a title more often than "tune"

: Looney Tunes is an exception to it because the name is actually a reference to Disney's Silly Symphonies

: This unimportant or unemphasized detail goes unnoticed and the name is misremembered (our mind associates it with "toons" and nothing else)

: I would say that the coincidental phonetic similarity between "toon" and "tune" plays a crucial role in this one

- Sex and the City

: The title of this series, if you think about it, does not make much sense; it may be a pun, figure of speech or something (as someone pointed out below, it is named after the newspaper column that the protagonist writes, which covers two subjects: sex and New York City); in any case, "in the city" would be more common sense

: This detail about the title is not emphasized and is not considered important to us, so it goes unnoticed and the name is misremembered

The same can be applied to other Effects, such as Double Stuf Oreo ("stuff" is more common than "stuf"), Kit Kat (a hyphen is expected in words like this one), and so on. I invite you to think about others I haven't mentioned by yourself and see if my theory fits.

What do you guys think? I may be right or I am just out of my mind?

This is how I remember it. A posh guy with a cylinder, mustache and a monocle. But internet search doesn’t show monocle anymore. What are your thoughts and memories?

Found on a random instagram post. Now it’s Interview with the Vampire

Here is another example of all of us remembering it as “may be closer than they appear”. I remember it vividly. My husband remembers it. Other family members. A lot of people here. How can this be explained as a false memory?

My girlfriend is 29. She has very little pop culture knowledge. She’s not dumb, she just isn’t into TV and movies. Up until the other day, she had never heard of the Mandela Effect.

I have a lot of old DVDs. Last week, we were organizing them and I asked her to tell me which movies she’s actually watched before. We got to “Jingle All The Way,” and she said she had watched that one before. Just for a fun, I asked her if she had watched any other Sinbad movies. She said she had. Then, I asked her which Sinbad movie was her favorite. Without hesitation, she said, “I remember liking that genie movie.” I was shocked. I asked, “Do you remember the name of that movie?” She thought for a second and said, “Shazaam.” I honestly couldn’t believe it. I asked her when she watched it, and she told me that her grandma had the VHS tape, and she would watch it when she went over to her house growing up. The tape originally belonged to her cousin who is older.

I was laughing the whole time, and she didn’t know why. I briefly explained it to her and she just dismissed it. Yesterday, I showed her an article about the Sinbad movie and ME. She is 100% convinced the movie exists. She got very angry when I showed her all of the info and the Reddit threads. She is 100% sure that the movie didn’t have Shaq in it.

I don’t know. I remember Kazaam. I was/am a huge Shaq fan. So, I remember watching that movie. It sounds a lot like the same movie that a lot of the “Sinbad Genie” believers describe. I’m a skeptic, but I am officially blown away.

My girlfriend is now determined to find the VHS tape at her grandma’s house. We will see.

Update: After all of the discussion on the thread, I asked her to describe the plot of the movie. All she could remember was that two white kids found a lamp. She couldn’t recall much more other than picturing Sinbad in a genie outfit.

She’s 29. She said she watched it several times when she was between 7-10. But it wasn’t regularly. Her grandma lives two states away. The only thing she is 100% sure of is that the genie was definitely not Shaq. She says she definitely would have remembered that.

Her details aren’t great. I’m sorry everyone.

Update: I know some have asked for an update. Nothing to really report. Grandma says there are no VHS tapes at the house anymore. She said she doesn’t remember owning the movie but she just bought movies for the grand kids. That’s all. I’m still a skeptic. You’re welcome.

I know that this is one of the most popular theories and that it's been talked about over and over, but I just cant shake it. I watched a video essay about the cornucopia on youtube and it unearthed a memory for me. I was around 6 years old and I was sitting in a shopping cart at walmart. My parents and I were in the underwear section and I was staring at the Fruit Of The Loom packages. I remember not seeing the cornucopia, but I had remembered seeing it before. I turned to my parents and asked them where the big brown cup went. They gave eachother a weird look and asked me what the hell I was talking about. I tried my best to explain it and eventually they were able to explain that the thing I was talking about was a cornucopia, but a cornucopia had never been in the logo.

I remember feeling confused. Even now I distinctly remember seeing it. I noticed that in threads from a few years ago a lot of the people sharing their stories were also children when they remembered seeing the cornucopia. Am I going crazy??

For example, a title such as "OMG The Fruit of the Loom logo doesn't have a cornucopia!?" instantly forces the audience's mind. Instead, the title should be a question: "Without looking, describe the Fruit of the Loom logo". All new Mandella effects should be treated as spoilers if we are to acquire new, unbiased opinions. Else, we risk succumbing to our own contagious insanity.
