Plants rarely have their name written on them though
I always felt that broccoli was spelt the way it looked
just proof of the successful campaign by Big Broccoli and the DRAM video 🥦 kids even went with the haircut
I think broccoli and cauliflower should switch names, broccoli looks way more cauliflower and cauliflower way more broccoli.
If we’re nitpicking, I always thought broccoli was spelt wrong.
Say hello to my little friend
Brocoflower
Mandelbroccoli
I was thinking fractoli but that works equally well.
Happy Cakeday! 🍰🎂
Do we do that here? Can we not? I thought we agreed not to.
I don’t do that myself but I don’t see the harm.
Because corporate logos are intentionally designed to evoke the brand they represent?
Yeah, stupid nature. Doesn’t even know the basics of brand recognition.
Also most of the logos are just the name next to an icon. Plants only occasionally have thier name written next to them.
Also most people have little to no reason to identify plants. Most of the time we don’t even eat the whole plant, we eat the fruit or the root or some very specific part of the plant. You could easily identify a potato, but could you identify a potato plant? There are a lot of plants where you see a part of it in the store but you’ve never seen the entire plant. I never knew I had asparagus growing in the garden because what is sold in the store is not what grown asparagus looks like. We don’t eat grown asparagus, we eat the young shoots before they’ve turned woody. A grown asparagus is inedible and the berries are toxic.
If plants had their names on their leaves I’d recognize a bunch of them as well.
Let’s make sure to shame the people being bombarded by advertisements for 90% of their lives. That’ll motivate them to be more cognizant of botany
This could as easily be read as a critique of modern capitalism for that very reason.
Broccoli, cabbage, kale, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, bok choy, turnip, radish, collards and Mustard greens. 10 different plants, easy peasy!
To be fair, corporate logos are specifically designed to take advantage of quirks in human cognition to make them distinct and memorable. Most plants pre-date human cognition, and the ones which don’t tend to be the ones people recognize instantly.

Don’t give them any ideas.
Oh look, r/im14andthisisdeep finally migrated to Lemmy!
How many of those plants do ppl use in their daily lives? vs How many of those corporate products do they use in their daily lives?
It’s a bullshit claim anyhow. Try only using logos that don’t have the company name in them.
If the names of the plants would be spelled for me under each plant every time then that would greatly enhance my memory.
To be fair, the Apple logo is also a plant.
And once you’ve eaten a rotten apple, you never forget.
Fruits aren’t plants
If you know the name of the fruit you usually know the plant, cause more often than not it’s the name of the plant. For instance, apple comes from an apple tree.
That’s a fact, confirmed by Tim Apple.
True if big.
In fairness if plants had their names written on them, I’d probably be able to identify those as well.

Cause we don’t live in a forest anymore?
I knew there was something wrong with my place in Phoenix, AZ. Dang Democrats stole the forest!
And the golf courses and lawns have made it humid! I thought it was supposed to be a “dry heat,” fucking over 100° and 70% humidity every single time I have to visit. Either that of freezing. One time it snowed… IN PHOENIX! Well, technically Mesa, but that’s just a suburb of Phoenix.
Mesa is one of those places they put several man made lakes in to make people think they could do watersports in their housing development. And in reality it just humidifies the heat and breeds mosquitos.
I’m 14 and this is deep
Embrace the smug gardener and only use the latin names
Gonna harvest my Solanum tuberosums.
What’s the latin word for nike?
Victoria
is the number 1000 based on anything? i’m curious if there have been any studies on the amount of logos most people recognize. 1000 seems high but also not, so i wonder if there’s science to back it up
It’s obviously bullshit.
Could you imagine sitting through a survey with over a thousand logos and plants to be able to reach this conclusion?😆
I think it would be possible to reach this conclusion. Using shorter surveys, like Google opinion surveys or something, asking people if they recognize 2-3 logos at a time, run a few hundred of those surveys over a few years and you could categorize each logo based on % of participants who recognized, anything over like 66% could be considered “generally recognizable” and then count how many generally recognizable logos you had.
