26 Trivia Nuggets from Pop Culture History for Saturday, December 13, 2025

A cornucopia of trivia tidbits.

We all know what a cornucopia is: the horn-shaped basket with all manner of fruit and vegetables spilling out of it; it’s typically used as a symbol of abundance. Strangely, it is also strongly associated with the brand Fruit of the Loom. Thousands of people swear that its logo is a cornucopia filled with fruit… but it’s not. It’s just the fruit.

There’s no gaslighting social phenomena here, don’t worry. We have sturdy, tried and true pop culture facts that will still leave you pleasantly surprised.
