The Fruit of the Loom Mandela Effect is really messing with people's memories of the clothing company's iconic logo.
A viral TikTok has thousands of people not only thinking about what they remember the logo to look like, but also has many searching for proof that we're not all losing our minds.
A TikTok Creator Is Trying To Get To The Bottom Of The Fruit Of The Loom Mandela Effect
Nicole, who goes by dimelifting on the app, has recently fallen down the rabbit hole on the Fruit of the Loom Mandela Effect and she's taking us all for the ride.
"I got to the bottom of the Fruit of the Loom cornucopia Mandela Effect and I'm upset," she began her now viral TikTok video. "Claire really pulled through for us and went through all of her old clothes until she found an official logo."
Not only did someone named Claire find a shirt with the official logo on it, but the cornucopia also looks exactly how so many remember it to look.
"This reignited my fixation and after digging through the internet I found this old newspaper that specifically says 'Fruit of the Loom logo was initially a cornucopia,'" she continued. "When Fruit of the Loom has been questioned about the cornucopia, they've straight up been lying to us saying that it never existed."
Nicole said she feels the company is lying to everyone and "intentionally causing chaos." She pointed out that if you go to their homepage, they have a timeline of their logos throughout the years starting with the logo from 1927 and ending with their current logo.
"If that's not evidence enough that they're intentionally trying to cause chaos, these are what their TikToks look like," she said just before showing a clip of one of their TikTok videos of a cornucopia with a face and the caption, "Trying to think of a good reason for me to be in the logo."
"I'm convinced this is 100 percent corporate gaslighting."
And while Nicole is bothered by this Mandela Effect, she said it's "one of the greatest marketing ploys in all of history, but at what cost?"
Nicole's video has received more than 1.4 million views and nearly 8,000 comments, many of which are agreeing with her and sharing their memories of the Fruit of the Loom cornucopia.
"I knew it! Fruit of the Loom is why I know what a cornucopia is!" one person wrote in the comment section. Another added, "I didn’t even know there was a new logo WITHOUT the cornucopia!!!😭😭"
A few viewers shared their thoughts on the Mandela Effect as a whole.
"Mandela effects are govt experiments to see how much they can gaslight the public and you can’t convince me otherwise," one viewer wrote. Another said, "I decided like two years ago that most Mandela affects to do with corps are just marketing schemes."
A Follow Up Video Reveals Documentation Of The Cornucopia's Existence
Nicole wasn't quite satisfied after her first video, so she created a follow up video that shares more information about the use of the cornucopia in the Fruit of the Loom logo.
"I officially have government documentation that Fruit of the Loom is lying about never being associated with the cornucopia," she said. "We should first start off with this Frank Wess album, 'Flute of the Loom,' which was made in the late 1970s and was a clear spinoff of Fruit of the Loom."
She also credited a Redditor for falling so far down the rabbit hole that he reached out to the son of the artist who created the art for the album cover. The son responded making it clear that "Flute of the Loom" was in fact inspired by Fruit of the Loom and the cornucopia was part of their logo.
"The part I'm most excited about is this is an official government document for the Fruit of the Loom trademark," she continued. "And if you look at the bottom, it says baskets of fruit, containers of fruit, cornucopia horn of plenty."
"I’m questioning all Mandela effects," one person wrote in the comment section. "Incredible, we've been gaslit with government proof," another pointed out.
Many thanked Nicole for her dedication for bringing this frustrating issue to light and getting to the bottom of it for all who clearly remember the cornucopia being part of the old logo.
"Your dedication is unmatched! Never give up on your dreams 😂❤️," one person shared. Another added, "You are changing Mandela effect history.😳"
