Why The Fruit of the Loom is so Compelling

I've always been relatively skeptical of the Mandela Effect. For the majority of Mandela effects, it makes sense to me for them to be memory errors. Specifically, the Mandela effects are often more intuitive than what they are in reality. For example, Berentstein Bears is more intuitive, since names ending in "stein" are much more common than names ending with "stain", such as Epstein, Bernstein, Einstein, etc. My intuition assumes names end with "stein" rather than "stain".

For the Monopoly man, my brain automatically associates old people with top hats and mustaches with monocles. It just makes sense, especially with how cartoonish the Monopoly man is.

However, when it comes to the Fruit of the Loom, the same intuition is not there. Despite what some others have suggested, there isn't that same strong intuitive link between a bunch of fruit and cornucopias. I have been aware of horns of plenty being depicted with fruits and cornucopias, however it just isn't as strong of a connection.

Additionally, another explanation for the Mandela effect that makes sense to me is suggestibility. For things such as the spelling of a name or details such as the colour of Pikachu's tail and the Monopoly man's monocle, these are details that we don't really think about often, so we don't even really notice the "change" until we discover the Mandela Effect. Then these alternate memories get suggested to us and we agree with it because it kind of feels right.

But for Fruit of the Loom, there exists residue which were created before the Mandela effect was even coined. For things like the Flute of the Loom album cover, and the Ant Bully scene, the creators of the residue could not have been suggested by the Mandela Effect before it even existed.

That's why this the fruit of the loom is so interesting to me.
