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.

So where did the association come from? There has to be something that caused us to all have that false memory. Tv show or movie maybe

Knock off products were quite rampant in us throughout the 80s and 90s. That's my guess.
