    The wicker conch was there when I was a kid, 100%, but maybe it was regional?

    Or maybe they realised getting rid of the conch would save them a million dollars in printing costs over five years (or whatever) and quietly removed it?

        This one is the perfect example because I also remember it having the cornucopia despite it never being there in the official product. I would bet that the memory comes from the brain mashing together similar looking artwork from Thanksgiving.

        Note: a memory is still a memory even if it isn’t accurate, because memories aren’t perfect.

          That sounds plausible, but then why do I, in the Netherlands, have this too? We have no thanksgiving and no thanksgiving imagery.
