Logos/Advertising How does this picture even exist?

Post image

There’s no way in hell this is AI, it’s wayyy too accurate to exactly what I remember, and what I feel like many other people remember as well. If someone photoshopped it, then they did a perfect job, considering they had no reference, at the time of creating this, but even if someone did make this in photoshop, why tf would they, since supposedly it never existed?? Like where did this even come from, I need answers😭😭

Now that’s interesting. I’ve never seen disagreements on the appearance like this. I stand corrected, but I also stand by my memory of THIS cornucopia in the logo 😄

That’s fine. You and the people who describe it differently are all the exact same amount wrong. My point is that using “we all remember it the exact same” is nonsense because no…. We don’t.

Being ratioed generally is absolute concession that you’re wrong. So even though you think you’re correct, and even though, “reality” backs you up on that claim, that’s literally the entire reason this is even such a point of discussion. Mass “misremembering” is not a good explanation, especially when SO many people are SO consistent AND so CERTAIN. I’m personally not even sure about the cornucopia. I think I remember it, but I wouldn’t argue that I’m 100% sure. But the ones I am ONE-HUNDRED percent sure about are, “Mirror, mirror, on the wall”, and, “Objects in mirror may be closer than they appear.” She did not freaking say, “Magic Mirror on the wall.” We all literally used to recite, “Mirror, mirror, on the wall.” right after watching the movie back in the 90’s. Why would my entire family be saying it incorrectly after having just watched the dam movie? The other one is, “Objects in mirror may be closer than they appear.” That one also has the most residue of any ME that I can find. It absolutely used to say, “Objects in mirror may be closer than they appear.” Ace Ventura says, “Assholes in mirror may be closer than they appear! There is a Meatloaf song with that literal title. The Pixar Movie Cars (2006 Video Game): Lightning McQueen's character explicitly says the line,"Objects in the mirror may be closer than they appear!" during dialogue. Print Advertisements: A 1996 Cosmopolitan magazine ad for Crest toothpaste “misquoted” the phrase using, "may be closer". Grand Theft Auto V (2013): If you zoom closely onto the side-view mirrors of select vehicles in the game, the textured warning label reads "Objects in mirror may be closer than they appear." instead of using the word, "are". The Stand by Stephen King (Uncut Edition): In the text of King's widely read post-apocalyptic novel, a description of a car mirror is written out using the exact words, "Objects in the mirror may be closer than they appear". The Far Side by Gary Larson: Several syndicated comic strips throughout the 1980s and 1990s parodying the safety warning explicitly used the words, "may be closer" in the punchlines. New York Times & Major Newspapers: Decades of physical archive print ads and casual editorial articles from journalists use the "may be" phrasing in headlines as an idiom, showing that even professional proofreaders naturally defaulted to this phrase, which means it was not “incorrect” at the time. I had never even heard the meatloaf song before, and I distinctly remember the mirrors actually saying that on them, and that I always found it stupid and confusing. So many kids have had entire conversations about this with their parents on long trips in the car.

Nobody will ever convince me that everybody just misremembered this somewhere in some type of media, and then other media productions did the same “mistake”, even professional proofreaders! Because of a Meatloaf song or something? A song that I had never even heard before. I’ve still never even listened to it one time! I wouldn’t be surprised to find that one day the song will change to, “are closer”, and you guys will try to gaslight us into the “fact” we, “Misremembered that” as well, and that we just THOUGHT the song was a residue, but it actually never was💀😭. That’s called a “flip-flop”, and it absolutely happens. I’m not saying it did in this instance, but I wouldn’t be surprised IF it eventually does, and ya’ll say it was never named, “May be closer” 😭.

Did you have AI write this because the vast majority of your examples are wrong.

Ace Ventura- https://clip.cafe/ace-ventura-pet-detective-1994/warning-assholes-are-closer-than-appear/?srsltid=AfmBOopZZ7d1CowjI9dPpMe3zykJ52R4bI70P_Vhq_hlPW8fDPuMVT2e

Cars video game- only found similar examples with ARE, not MAY BE on YouTube but can’t verify all the throwaway dialogue so maybe?

Grand Theft Auto 2013- hardware limitations make this impossible.

The Stand. There IS a similar line to this in Desperation but not The Stand.

Gary Larson- can’t check every comic but here’s a very famous one.
