THEIR LOGO LITERALLY LOOKS NAKED WITHOUT THE HORN
I swear to god i remember the cornucopia (or horn of plenty)
What is their actual objection to it being the Horn of Plenty??
I feel like if they just leaned into it it would be the best sales-boosting/marketing coup of alltime!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.
I'm confused both by why fotl would deny it, and why people care so much about it. The "why do they care?" Argument goes both ways.
With that being said: the "investigation" that Snopes did only covered their logo in adverts and media.... That doesn't indicate that it was never used, just never used in that context.
There's plenty of examples around the internet of people having FOTL stuff with the horn. Call it photoshopped or fake or whatever, it's possible that they used it for tags and stuff, but never in ads or media.
In my mind it's equally possible that there was a counterfeiting operation that added it, and made pretty convincing knock offs....
I don't know the truth, and I won't claim to, but what Snopes found doesn't mean that the version with the horn didn't exist. Bluntly, I don't care enough to figure it out, so that's the end of the line for me. Have fun everyone.
Its all just so inscrutable. Its an impressively naturally evenly balanced issue. But i dont grt what their incentive is to not only demy it but also to refuse to capitalize on it.
The whole thing makes zero sense. "Cornucopia" (whatever the term is) is literally in their patent or trademark filing(s), just take the fuckjng W, jesus
