Cracker Barrel is on team TACO. I'm bigly surprised...

And that’s basically it!
No one even mentions the historical reference to the term "cracker" in America.
Isn't there a single entity with a spine in America?
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.
None of them actually care they just want to distract from Epstein.
That's a bummer. I liked the new logo a lot.
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 steak of avoiding this place.
the fact it’s a racist restaurant chain
Calling it Cracker Barrel is truth in advertising in that case.
And everybody forgot about the Epstein files and we all lived happily ever after the end.
Goddamnit stop teaching conservative snowflakes that their annoying, incessant whining works sometimes!
I mean, its cracker barrel. That's their entire customer base.
Good thing this "controversy" came along, I'd all but forgotten the place exists.
Whiny snowflakes got their way and now see that they can threaten more businesses to cater to their WEIRD ASS COMPLAINTS
Was this just conservatives? I never saw anyone say anything positive about the changes. Potential problems with some decor they might have, I don't think that reasonably translates to completely scrub it of all personality anyway.
I'm not a conservative, it was either a bad call or a good publicity stunt.
I'm far left and I thought it was dumb.
I thought it was dumb, too, but I definitely wasn't upset by it. Conservatives were, for some reason.
It's perhaps universally hated but for some an unfathomable reason, a very common sentiment among conservatives is that the new logo is too damn woke.
You could almost wrap it around to how corporations fuck everything up but that would be too much for their little brains
I said it in the last thread and I'll say it again here: I do not give a single flying fuck about any political motivation behind the changing nor changing back of the Cracker Barrel logo, either real or simply perceived, but their new logo was objectively terrible. It was so bland and unmemorable that whoever designed it should have their Macbook confiscated and be catapulted into the ocean. That is, the both of them. But preferably one each into different oceans. I don't know how much that braindead rebrand cost them in consultancy fees but I hope they can ask for a refund.
bland and unmemorable
This is why it was great. It perfectly encapsulated both their food and store. It was an ideal logo for them.
They should increase the cost of of all of their products to cover the increased cost to print their existing logo. There's no way the newer one wasn't cheaper lol
This almost feels like a bet, or an experiment, by social media political manipulators. Like, one guy says to another, "I bet I can make Cracker Barrel change their logo back in less than two weeks using nothing more than a social media outage campaign." "Deal."
And then they do it, with some carefully planted posts across many platforms, and some well-placed calls to conservative commentators, calling attention to those posts. They successfully demonstrate their social media manipulating prowess, and ultimately sell their wares for the upcoming election cycle.
Or more than likely a marketing stunt by Cracker Barrel. Announce a new logo to get everyone talking about you. Then backtrack to stay in the news a little longer. Plus now you don't need to spend any money on new logos. Boom you just got tons of free advertisement.
🤣 another win for conservatives. I don't know why I even care anymore.
Republicans are sensitive snowflakes
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.
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.
Awww… the new one was so much cleaner and nicer.
I mean... A broken clock is right twice a day and all that
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.
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.
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.
