Fruit of the Loom: Horn of Lies

The brand Fruit of the Loom is almost ubiquitous in the world of underwear and casual ware. You have likely seen its logo, if not on your own body, on store racks or at least in ads. Now, in your minds eye, picture it. What do you see? For years, countless people have been taking to the internet to share their memory of the Fruit of the Loom logo. A lot of them have the same memory – a basket, rather, a cornucopia of fruit. But they're all wrong.

So what could be behind this collective misremembering?
