    I’ll apologise now for the tiktok link, i know how much this place hates tiktok but here is a woman who did a deep dive and found evidence that the company actually changed their logo and tried to scrub the existence of the Cornucopia from the internet to distance themselves from Bad PR.

        I always thought it must’ve been common counterfeits that added it.

          I feel like if that were the case, there would need to be a TON of them out there for so many people to think the real logo had a cornucopia.

      That woman has already been caught spreading fake/photoshopped shit multiple times. The TikTok conspiracy is that it’s a coverup for a chemical spill at a factory that Fruit of the Loom didn’t even own at the time.

      I like this idea but it’s hard to believe that nobody can produce a pair of underwear or t-shirt from the 70s that they found in their basement/attic

        I think for conspiracy minded people, that just proves how deep the conspiracy goes!

        Cause they poisoned a whole town and did a corporate restructuring to be able to deny that they did it. Part of that included deleting the cornucopia

        They’re not, but the old company logo was associated with a scandal/disaster so they changed it to distance themselves.

        Idk if I really buy it considering how similar the new logo is, nobody is gonna think it’s two different companies. But I haven’t fully immersed myself in the conspiracy yet, so I might be missing some context

            Yeah, like I said, idk if I buy it. The explanation doesn’t really make sense.

            But some really strange PR decisions have been made in the past.

              Um deleting all evidence from the world except two supposed photos (which btw have different cornucopia designs) and a tiktok video… sounds like far more than anything a PR team could manage. All the three-letter agencies combined couldn’t pull that off, as the action itself would leave evidence.

                Starting your reply with “um” makes it sound like you’re condescending and disagreeing with what I wrote, but nothing you said disagrees with what I said… So I think you just misread my comment.

      Tiktokkers will say anything that feeds them views. FotL is probably paying influencers to make this content for publicity

      I’m not clicking TikTok but if that evidence is the logo trademark paperwork mentioning “cornucopia” you can search that same database for cornucopia and find other logos tagged with the label that don’t contain one. Seems to be a tagging system, not a 1:1 description of image content.

      TikTok, really? It’s literally a Chinese disinformation tool. Don’t be a tool yourself.
