      That woman has already been caught spreading fake/photoshopped shit multiple times. The TikTok conspiracy is that it’s a coverup for a chemical spill at a factory that Fruit of the Loom didn’t even own at the time.

      I like this idea but it’s hard to believe that nobody can produce a pair of underwear or t-shirt from the 70s that they found in their basement/attic

        Cause they poisoned a whole town and did a corporate restructuring to be able to deny that they did it. Part of that included deleting the cornucopia

        They’re not, but the old company logo was associated with a scandal/disaster so they changed it to distance themselves.

        Idk if I really buy it considering how similar the new logo is, nobody is gonna think it’s two different companies. But I haven’t fully immersed myself in the conspiracy yet, so I might be missing some context

      Tiktokkers will say anything that feeds them views. FotL is probably paying influencers to make this content for publicity

      I’m not clicking TikTok but if that evidence is the logo trademark paperwork mentioning “cornucopia” you can search that same database for cornucopia and find other logos tagged with the label that don’t contain one. Seems to be a tagging system, not a 1:1 description of image content.

          I think a reluctance to take conspiracy theory information from TikTok is more indicative of being an adult…

            That wasn’t a reluctance to look at info it was a pouty baby not wanting to click a link to a different social media site. Damn. Y’all really are no different from reddit. I think I’m done with this place. If I want to be surrounded by a bunch of dweebs with a superiority complex I’ll just go back to reddit. At least they have content.

      TikTok, really? It’s literally a Chinese disinformation tool. Don’t be a tool yourself.
