Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

They're called grits and it's really more of a porridge than a dip.

[–] D61@hexbear.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

corn-man-khrush "Corn dip!"

Can you imagine if they served salsa or hummus. The chuds would riot.

[–] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 36 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I wonder how much money they set on fire to do this.

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 22 points 2 weeks ago

who bought the dip?

PFFFT fuck me the market is predictably stupid, it's almost getting boring how stupid they are.

Donald Trump on Tuesday called on Cracker Barrel to bring back its old logo featuring Uncle Herschel.

Trump is well versed in the Crackle Bargel lore and knows Uncle Herschel's backstory.

So what was even the point? Just ragebait the hogs?

[–] Bruja@hexbear.net 21 points 2 weeks ago

No such thing as bad publicity; restaurant sales are down, drum up fake outrage for headlines, revert and get a bump from chuds.

Chuds - we love you. Sincerely, Cracker Barrel. PS - Free trough! Well, just kidding. But we still love you.

Instead of getting rid of the pictures they should have gotten rid of the text. After all, you've got a barrel, and you've got a cracker. It's just like a couple of pictograms.

im-gay-cracker-barrel-logo

I thought this new logo was pretty good. Some people must have thought it wasn't advertising the brand clearly enough, but that's clearly a crackkker with a barrel so I don't see the problem.

promotional consideration brought to you by The Adam Friedland Show.

lol is this how the new pump and dump works? Literal outrage to pump stock prices? Insider trading because some corporate mascot gets desexified and resexified in some big fucking show

Biggest winners: The graphic design company that was contracted to make the new logo and potentially all the contracts for all the new branded stuff that probably was already in production.

Biggest losers: maybe all the local general contractors, construction crews, and interior designers who aren't going to get paid for the 500 or so locations that aren't going to be renovated.
