Quoted: Without a doubt, 100%, unequivocally I remember the fruit of the loom logo having a cornucopia. This was back before the internet, I wouldn't have been exposed to this logo without actually seeing it in stores or on my own items. I distinctly remember that being the ONLY place I had seen an actual cornucopia in real life. On anything. How could I, as a child, just completely fabricate a memory of something being in a logo, that was never actually in the logo? Doesn't make sense. Also that thousands of others did the same thing? Just seems beyond reason. The fucking logo had a cornucopia. View Quote Apparently that never happened. |

Quoted: I heard an interview a while ago where someone went into great detail about pkd's personal gnostic and esoteric beliefs...hell if I can recall which podcast it was on but, ya...he was hip to some shit. Speed View Quote He claimed to have spoken with God in 1974, lol. I agree that he was looking at the human situation in a completely different direction than everyone else. I don't know if my thoughts align with his, because I read so much of his work in my youth, or they were there all along. |

Yeah Berenstein and the FOTL trademark fuck with me. I hadn't heard of the Stouffers thing, what the fuck? I just asked my 1981 model wife, who makes the Stove Top stuffing? "I don't know. Stouffers?" |

OP, the simplest explanation is most likely. Your memories were implanted and they messed up on some details when they did it. The only question is why were the memories implanted?
Also, judging from her reaction, your wife is clearly in on it. Your best bet is to force a confession out of her so you can get the whole story. @USCG_CPO |

I clearly remember Berenstein. My wife and I bought one of the books when our kids were little and I have a distinct memory of talking with her about whether it was pronounced STEEN or STEIN. She asked me why I bothered wondering.
I also clearly remember having to explain to my second wife what a cornucopia was after buying some Fruit of the Loom underwear and she looked at the logo and didn't know what that thing was behind the fruit. And Dolly... yes, she had braces and they glinted in the sun which, as other have said, is the entire reason she and Jaws hit it off. Without the braces, there is no reason. |

Quoted: @USCG_CPO Tell me you have posted this somewhere else prior to your post yesterday here in GD. The instant I started reading your thread I knew exactly what it was about and distinctly remember reading it before. I love the thought of time skips and things along that line so I think I must have seen it on another website sometime in the last year or so, possibly on r/Glitch_in_the_Matrix? This is very strange! View Quote @PJF I don't know if I ever have. I haven't posted on other forums in years and certainly haven't posted about this. We just started really examining this issue cause I noticed the pictures and it triggered the thought process of "wait a minute, how could this have happened?" Once we started examining the photos that's when it got creepy cause we know the dates of the photos and the dates of the events. I am just going to chalk it up to one of those things that's unexplainable. |

Shortly before leaving NY, During the trip to CA or shortly after arriving in CA were there any "close call" events, in which you or your wife would have ended up seriously injured or deceased had something been even a tiny bit different? This is a serious question. |

The interviewee may have written a book (that's usually why academics do interviews). I'll have to search around, but his premise was that PKD was leeching out his own personal philosophy beliefs via his novel.

Quoted: Isn't this multiverse stuff the plot of the new Spider-Man movie, No Way home? View Quote But, that's just one theory why the OP, and countless others (myself included) have experienced these sorts of things... ...there's no real argument as they are completely subjective. The only thing is why/how so many of us have experienced the exact same things. I had a bunch of Bernstein Bears books, and recall vividly learning what a cornucopia was from my mother after asking about the FOTL tag on my shirts and underwear. I even remember feeling smart in school around Thanksgiving because I knew what a cornucopia was...it was a big word lol. ETA: I even remember my mother explaining the abstract of cornucopia and how it symbolized bounty. I remember repeating it in my head so I could pronounce it right while looking at the logo. It was probably one of the first 5 syllable words I learned lol. Speed |

Ive read through all of these and yes, FOTL had a cornucopia in the logo. I didnt fucking imagine it. I have fleeting episodes of dejavu at times as well. I cant helpo but wonder at times if we aren't all a part of some superior beings ant farm or video game.

There is a reason things like the Multiverse are in such vogue right now.

View Quote The "predictive programming" angle certainly shouldn't be dismissed in whole. My personal thoughts are that cause and effect aren't bound by time; ie, it's possible to "influence" events in the past; time isn't linear like we think. Its a constant moment that's expanding (to borrow a concept from modern physics). As it grows outward, some people get pushed a tiny bit further away from others... Ok, that's enough of my Sunday evening deep thoughts Speed |

I'm putting $100 on: these things that mysteriously change in our culture, which people then say "wait a minute, I remember it this way, but now it's not the way I remember it and there is no evidence it was that way" are elements of the deep state psyop and propaganda war being waged on us.
Every one of these elements causes people to doubt their own reality. It's gaslighting, writ large. The purpose of gaslighting is to make people doubt their own perceptions and indeed their own reality. When people fall for it, they are then psychologically primed to discard their perceptions and belief in what is fed to them, and are far more susceptible to it. We all know that the mass media and the elite are running a 24/7 psyop on us, the "Mandela Effect" is simply part of it. And judging by this post, and others like it, it's working............ |

I mean I get some of them like Jiffy never existed and now it's Jif, that maybe people confused Jif and Skippy into Jiffy. But the Stouffers thing, how would we confuse that?
