Only at Walmart, and Walmart had and has contracts to release versions of products sometimes and I’m assuming that’s what happened.

I remember seeing a newspaper ad posted somewhere to prove this that had the cornucopia, but even accepting that it was genuine, the add was off model for most of the assets and seemed to be hyper-localized to like one chain of three stores in new england. Still, people wanted it to true so this was presented as hard evidence despite being about as representative of the brand as that one Burger King that lost it's franchise, but never changed any of the signage until they got caught cause they ran out of branded cups.

Its definitely possible when you consider that most Americans with this specific Mandela effect spent years coloring fruit-filled cornucopias for Thanksgiving in elementary school.
Its not a huge jump to think they'd then associate bundles of fruit with a cornucopia.
Then take the brand whose logo is a bundle of fruit... and the rest is history.

See, the magic of the internet is that you can google "Thanksgiving Cornucopia coloring book pages for kids" and prove yourself wrong right now.
It'll take less than a minute and its free.
Yes, some of them definitely have more fall harvest vegetables, but saying they're never depicted with fruit is not accurate. The most common ones I've seen usually have grapes, apples, pears, and pumpkins. Maybe an ear of corn if the designers were feeling frisky.

I was actually gonna push back on this because I dont think 3 maybe 4 years of seasonal state-mandated coloring would leave that kind of impact (assuming you were given the cornucopia each year instead turkeys or pilgrims or whatever)
But then i remembered teacher decorations.
I still think its a bit of a reach given that wouldnt explain how non-Americans remember it, and with such exact detail. But yeah absolutely valid point.

My in-laws saved dozens of Berenstein Bears books from my husband’s childhood, and there are definitely both spellings. I think the spelling choice depended on the publisher. I can take a pic when I go over to their house later today.
ETA: Oh damn! This example of the Mandela effect is legit. I just walked into their guest room, camera ready to snap a pic, and then ate some serious crow. It really is all Berenstain across the board. I was 1000% confident there were two spellings, and would have bet any amount of money on it. I guess “Berenstain” didn’t sound right in my head, so I made up a version that made more sense to me. This is going to mess with me for a minute.

It’s also easy to see how weird your spelling was when you were younger if you have writing or drawings from when you were a kid - I’ve looked at some of my old comics from back then and I’d sometimes spell the same word different ways within the same sentence. I’m guessing your internal spelling sticks within your mind, especially since these are brands you’d be familiar with as a kid, and you don’t see them again till pointed out or when you look closely which is when you see you were mistaken or become arrogant insisting the world has switched universe.

My theory is that some of these are disinformation to poison the topic.
Remember Pizzagate? It was ridiculous to suggest that a cannibal/pedophile cabal was using food as code words for heinous acts, but it became more ridiculous to claim they met in a non-existent basement beneath a pizza joint.
10% truth & 90% lies.
And frankly, I don't care what the reason is that we are being gaslit about a fkn underwear logo but the fact that so much effort has been put into sowing distrust, not only among humans and their experiences, but to distrust ones own mind is eerily convenient to certain people and their goals of dominance.
I misremember things just like everyone. When I become aware that I've misremembered something, I can usually backtrack my thoughts and see how I came to the misconception. This doesn't happen to me with the cornucopia issue.

The pikachu one is funny bc there has been like a million different iterations of the look. Pretty much every generation they change something. Iirc it was gen 5 or 6 where they made female pikachus tail have an end shaped like the top of a heart.
I know in the games it’s always been a pure yellow tail but there has had to have been a pikachu in the Anime with a black tipped tail. I only watched the indigo league as a kid but there’s an almost 0% chance in my mind that in the thousands of episodes of Pokémon the animators didn’t get creative with a side character Pikachu.

I personally don't remember JIF as JIFFY but I'd bet that Mandela effect comes from people coming JIF and SKIPPY cuz skippy was HUGE in the 90s. They came out with that squeezable peanut butter stick for some reason and that just landed with us folk lol

The Fruit of the Loom one isn't Mandela Effect, people have found pieces of their clothing with the cornucopia logo. For some reason tho, FOTL refuses to acknowledge it
