    I would swear my undergarments had the cornucopia logo when I was growing up. I actually remember the point in my life where I saw the logo without it and assumed they decided to modernize.

      Ditto, but I had a spooky event preceding that. A black robed guy wearing a wide brimmed hat (think Vatican Elite or something) walked into my uncle’s bedroom when I was a kid and held up two white T-shirts from Fruit of the Loom on brightly colored plastic clothes hangers, and said:

      “We’re thinking about changing the logo, do you prefer this traditional one, or this modern one?”

      And, me, being small child babu and scared out of my mind by having a tall, pale, black garment dressed figure in the room with round sunglasses went:

      “Modern. It’s the Year 2000 coming up, the new millennium. Everything has to change.”

      He laughed and thanked me for my time and then walked THROUGH THE WALL to leave, not through a door.

      The next year, 9/11 happened, and everything changed. Still boils my brains.

        I’m pretty sure the local department store wasn’t selling counterfeit kids underwear. This isn’t like a Nike shirt or something.
