I wish these people cared as much about the president being a pedophile as they do about this mid-ass restaurant changing its logo.
They need these distractions, otherwise they start to actually think. Their leaders can’t have that happening.
So it’s a good thing CB is changing back
If it encourages them to eat there, is it really such a bad thing, I mean t a diet heavy in the types of food Cracker Barrel sells can’t be good for you and republicans hate healthcare. Seems like it might be a self-solving problem.
They hate healthcare until they need it. Then they have a sob story and create a GoFundMe.
Its not even political at all. It was just dumb corporate blandness that defeats the purpose of the restsurant’s image. Conservatives made it political because their CEO happens to be a woman.
McDonald’s and taco bells used to look so cool, now everything is corporate and bland and sterile. Chain Restaurants all look the same now
What happened to McDonald’s? Apart from maybe a slight font change, it’s the exact same thing from 70 years ago.
Also, Burger King is an example of ditching a trendy look and going back to an older, more timeless logo.
I think they’re talking about the restaurants themselves. McDonald’s used to have some wild interiors!
They’re referring to changes like this:
I’m pretty sure conservative media made it political to rile up their base and distract from anything important; ditto the Sydney Sweeny fuckaround
Step 1: Get a terrible rebranding done
Step 2: Wag the dog with fake/paid outrage
Step 3: Reverse the decision letting people think they’ve won
Step 4: Profit
It’s New Coke all over again.
honestly I thought it was this too
The new logo is pretty terrible. I bet they paid a lot to some consulting company for it and when they saw how bad it was they wanted to at least try to get some benefit from it.
It’s literally simple. It’s just boring not bad
It’s just boring not bad
This has been the theme of every area of design since 2015. Cars, buildings, logos, websites, interior design; everything is not necessarily bad but really boring.
Conservatives are fucking dumb
EDIT: this stinks of Fox News outrage. Goes to show how their viewer are so easily led.
I have moments where I think I’m surprised that something stupid matters to people, then I remember how stupid some people are. Thank goodness conservatives are such active participants in the things that matter most
how stupid
There’s that, and there is also a massive ecosystem of griftfluencers endlessly manufacturing outrage and pumping it straight into millions of anger addicts, every hour of every day, from Fox News at the top, all the way down to Uncle Jeff on Facebook. The need to get high short-circuits intelligence every time.
Conservatives are calling this a win? Really???
Cracker Barrel: Changes logo.
Me: Didn’t even know this happened months ago. Thats how little I care.
Conservatives: WE WILL FIGHT FOR A FICTIONAL OLD WHITE MAN’S RIGHT TO EXIST IN A LOGO!!!
Me: Still doesn’t give a shit.
Cracker Barrel: Changes logo back.
Me: Still doesn’t give a shit.
Conservatives: WE WON!!!
Me: STILL doesn’t give a shit. You’re the winner of a game that no one wants to play.
When you own all three branches of the government, have deported thousands of innocent, disenfranchised people, and you’ve got civil liberties and democracy on the ropes, but your whole shtick is grievance and vengeance, you get nonsense like this. They need more to things to get mad at to feed the monkey on their back.
They will always find another bag of Rage Heroin somewhere. Fox can always manufacture more.
They are the winners of a game YOU don’t want to play. And they don’t give a shit about you.
You went from “I don’t” to “no one wants” in a most logically crazy way.
Bland logo? Not okay. Bland food? Totally fine.
it’s been a spell since I’ve been to the US but the only thing I remember about Cracker Barrel is the triangle/golf tee game they had at the tables. The food? I don’t remember anything about the food or what I even ate. but that game? I was all over it.
I actually preferred Bob Evans breakfasts. I remember as a kid whenever my family visited the states I would insist we go to Bob Evans for breakfast.
I didn’t give a shit when they changed it, and I still don’t.
Imagine caring that much about a corporate logo. Weirdos.
“Old cracker put back in logo to appease old crackers.”
After a bunch of free advertising, what a shocker!
Are there people who would be likely to go to Cracker Barrel out there who didn’t know about Cracker Barrel already?
Theres lots of people who have happy memories of being taken places by their parents or grandparents when they were a kid, they remember it fondly because they didnt know any better.
Now the older generation are dying off and the people who went there as kids arent going either, the change to the logo would surely have legitimately annoyed some people because that logo is closely linked to their grandparents or something like that. Now its been forced back into their concious thoughts and they will go for the nostalgia… for a while at least.
The stock price sure seems to think so. Reality may be different, but the shareholders are happy.
Put the old man back in, but add another man standing behind him with his hand on the first dude’s shoulder. They’ll flip their shit even harder.
I guess it’s easy to win a culture war where you’re the only belligerent
And everybody forgot about the Epstein files and we all lived happily ever after the end.
A new logo wasn’t going to change the fact it’s a racist restaurant chain so it’s fine by me of they keep the old logo, not like the new logo was going to get me to break my twenty plus year streak of avoiding this place.
the fact it’s a racist restaurant chain
Calling it Cracker Barrel is truth in advertising in that case.
