    I recently did some digging on the fruit of the loom logo because I remember learning the word cornucopia and connecting it with the logo on my T-shirts and underwear.

    Yeah, I was mistaken. The dye on some of the clothes just made the logo look like there was a cornucopia. Like the leaves on the side being brown and a tiny bit of those leaves at the top right with the small white grapes at the bottom right also looking the same brown color? It definitely looks like a cornucopia until you look very closely.

    (The logo shown in the image above is a more modern one, look at the earlier ones from around the turn of this century and you’ll see it better)

      Yeah that one was a real mindfuck to me too. I haven’t seen all of these as a kid, as I’m not from the states. We don’t get all that many fruit of the loom shirts here, dit from the ones I saw I was sure about the cornucopia.
