Some Woolworth department stores had a Harvest House diner inside who's logo was a big cornucopia. That's one possible place people of a certain age remember it from. It was really big outside of the Woolworths in our mall
I guess I kind of remember it not having a cornucopia behind it, because I remember the shape of the label and it wouldn't have fit. I also feel like I remember thinking it would look better with a cornucopia behind it because it looked exactly like all those pictures of a cornucopia with fruit pouring out of it. And then I thought, what the fuck is a horn of plenty? I've got one right here, pal.
Like I said with every other instance of this, we changed world lines when they killed Harambe. It was not the choice of stein's gate.
I was in the “remember” group for the Berenstain Bears, but in this case I only remember ever seeing the logo on the right (the real one).
There was absolutely a cornucopia
Sorry, but there really never was. Every time people claim this with absolute complete confidence. Then they dig an old fruit of the loom shirt out of the bottom drawer, and the cornucopia just isn't there. Just a bunch of fruit. And it blows their mind.
I think what is really happening is seeing or discussing the fake cornucopia version implants that false "memory" in our minds, because it seems so appropriate. It would almost be a better logo, IMO.
But I can't say that I would have mentioned a cornucopia associated with the brand before seeing this post. Very interesting psychological phenomenon none the less.
Many of us remember growing up thinking the cornucopia was called a "loom," since that makes logical sense looking at the logo. Fruit of the (thing they're literally falling out of, gotta be a) Loom. Then remember learning the word Cornucopia later and thinking. What in the fuck I thought this was called a "loom" because of the picture in my tidy whities.

The cornucopia has a different line thickness and the shadows follow the shape, rather than go perfectly to the right like on every other object. It's so stylistically out of place that I can't see it being legit.
This is actually an artists rendering of what people "remember." What's really interesting about this case of the "Mandela effect" is that a lot of people (including I) remember it exactly like this. Usually in other cases people remember things at least slightly differently.

I always remember Publix had a cornucopia.
Was the Morton Salt girl holding the umbrella with one or two hands? Nobody knows, nobody cares, but if you ask that question and show the current logo, people are going to swear she held it with both hands.
