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.

Not so sure I believe this one. I can't find any evidence that this is real, but I am finding a lot that shows it was never part of the logo. For example, this needle package from 1967 doesn't have one and there isn't a single trademark owned by them, past or present, that has the cornucopia in it.

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

You would be surprised at the amount of counterfeits in clothing.

☝️ this is what a good post looks like. Actually do some due diligence.

So here i am, minding my business on a Friday afternoon and this guy, this guy comes in with a tiktok link! And I'm all like hrrrnnnggggggggggg ehhhhhhhhhhhh but you know what I'll let it slide today. It's nice out, gonna bbq later if it doesn't rain. What the hell, right? You go ahead and do your tiktoks and if anyone gives you hell about it just remember this guy said he's giving you a pass

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

So, did you bbq or did it rain?

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

I've got one and ill show it soon but in the meantime buy my merch and donate!

That's how conspiracies work, right?

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

That’s not true. That comes from a TikTok which was complete horseshit. They didn’t own that factory at the time.

People make up the wildest conspiracies

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago (3 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

But why do they deny the old logo existed?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 8 months ago

They don't, because it's made up.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 8 months ago

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

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

This is the type of conspiracy I can get behind.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Is this a butt pun? Please say yes...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago

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