There was outrage about Cracker Barrel… and I missed it?
yeah that’s how marketing is done now.
yeah, i hate it too.
Charlie Kirk. Do Charlie next. Insane astroturfing with that fuck.
That makes sense. The new logo was dumb and bland, but I can’t imagine anyone caring that much.
I remember hearing about it and thinking “that is a pretty stupid marketing move given their schtick” and heard there was a restaurant redesign to go with it and went to look it up since no one had detail on it.
So a quick Internet search and saw that conservatives just lost their damn minds about them going woke and that the new logo was woke and everything was just so woke. I decided to tolerate one because she claimed that she was going to visit one to show the remodel. Turns out she had no idea about cracker barrel because it was just the same look as always, but she seemed genuinely perplexed that the staff was polite and “not woke at all” (i.e. white). She was utterly confused because all her online exposure had her all geared up for some rude minorities…
I saw it said it was dumb and moved on… and then there was this whole thing about it… was weird… then they changed it back and I said thats dumb and moved on…
Unless you live in the vicinity of one, how often do you even think about them. I think I’ve seen maybe one in my life but I’m not in the south
I do live near one, it’s next door to my credit union. I pay it absolutely no mind.
Lmao, that’s way too based for Chuck to have made himself.
Wow, guess it was a real tweet: https://x.com/SenSchumer/status/1959005140658094393
Nazi, fascist bots. Amirite?
Can those researchers study the 2024 election…?
The researchers are also bots.
We are all bots on this blessed day
Ohh it’s been a long while since I saw a KenM reference.
I don’t even eat there, but I still thought the new logo was absurdly bad.

Proper credit.
Just another attempt at market manipulation. Somethink akin to trying to speedrun Coke->New Coke->Coke Classic.
There are bigger fish to fry.
The “everything was done on purpose” conspiracy is a classic.
A test then?
No, it’s been a thing for years, especially during the election(s). This was much more easier to isolate and measure, I think, because there’s really no reason to tie it to politics.
Seems close to being tortious interference / negligent interference. They’re just lying to damage a business.
You don’t say….
Well, obviously. That’s been hapoening with other stuff too - eg the phrase “Blue Anon.” Sometimes stuff like this is for market manipulation, eg shorting Cracker Barrel stock.
