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

That’s not true. That comes from a TikTok which was complete horseshit. They didn’t own that factory at the time.

People make up the wildest conspiracies

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

Yeah, like I said, idk if I buy it. The explanation doesn't really make sense.

But some really strange PR decisions have been made in the past.

Um deleting all evidence from the world except two supposed photos (which btw have different cornucopia designs) and a tiktok video... sounds like far more than anything a PR team could manage. All the three-letter agencies combined couldn't pull that off, as the action itself would leave evidence.

Starting your reply with "um" makes it sound like you're condescending and disagreeing with what I wrote, but nothing you said disagrees with what I said... So I think you just misread my comment.

But why do they deny the old logo existed?

[–] ripcord 13 points 8 months ago

They don't, because it's made up.
