  • MAGA meltdown

    From JAB@21:1/5 to All on Thu Aug 21 16:40:02 2025
    Popular restaurant chain's massive change leads to MAGA meltdown:
    'Return to tradition!'

    Cracker Barrel is undergoing a massive transformation -- and it's not
    sitting well with MAGA.

    Conservatives are melting down after the Tennessee-based company known
    for its country cooking unveiled a new logo that removes its iconic
    barrel and Uncle Herschel in favor of a simpler design.

    "WTF is wrong with @CrackerBarrel??!" tweeted Donald Trump, Jr:

    Not just MAGA, my wife has mentioned seeing a number of online people,
    many millennials, who are upset over the 47 year old logo change. I
    don't have a link, but she mentioned a number of commenters also
    mentioned their food quality going down in recent years, as well.

    Not uncommon for a business to "cheapen" its product(s), in one way or
    another overtime.

    Original Pizza Hut, for instance, lessened the ingredients overtime.

    Around here years ago at a restaurant, they use to serve a nice sized
    chunk of ham with a breakfast meal, now a little larger than a silver
    dollar. Different owners owned it....and a previous-previous owner
    changed the sized served. They lost this customer for breakfast.

    I'm reading this was a manufactured outrage storm. You can spot it in
    the timeline of when the outrage began - a few key influencers all
    began shouting at once.

    Keeping poor shitheads focused on 'anti-woke' seems to be financially advantageous.

    Maybe so. Another speculation was that the company announced the change
    for lots of free publicity, boost sales, etc... Rile everyone up, with
    no permanent intention of changing anything. If that was planned, it
    was smart on their part.

    You may be right! If so: brilliant.

    Either new signage existed, or it did not.

    Rile everyone up

    When going to war, troops may be indoctrinated with "degenerate" words
    towards the enemy to ease the pain of killing others.

    This "woke" bullshit is similiar in nature, and suckers/losers who get
    riled up can't sort the chaff from the wheat.
