    The wicker conch was there when I was a kid, 100%, but maybe it was regional?

    Or maybe they realised getting rid of the conch would save them a million dollars in printing costs over five years (or whatever) and quietly removed it?

      Just so you know, that brown thing is called a cornucopia! Literally “horn of abundance” in Latin.

        Growing up, I always referred to it, and always heard it referred to as, a horn o’ plenty.

        This one is the perfect example because I also remember it having the cornucopia despite it never being there in the official product. I would bet that the memory comes from the brain mashing together similar looking artwork from Thanksgiving.

        Note: a memory is still a memory even if it isn’t accurate, because memories aren’t perfect.

          That sounds plausible, but then why do I, in the Netherlands, have this too? We have no thanksgiving and no thanksgiving imagery.

        So where did the association come from? There has to be something that caused us to all have that false memory. Tv show or movie maybe

          Knock off products were quite rampant in us throughout the 80s and 90s. That’s my guess.

      Or it wasn’t and you’re just mistaken. You can find vintage underwear and t shirts on ebay from fotl back in the 70’s and 80’s right now. It isn’t there. Also, snopes.com deemed it false.

      I think a time traveler fucked up and the cornucopia is an echo from another timeline.
