Cracker Barrel is woke.

Great News - the cartoon white guy successfully got his job back !    

Cracker Barrel has succombed to the cancel culture protest brought on by MAGA that just couldnt stand to see that dude lose his job to the immmigrants.

Change is hard for MAGA.....spiral light bulbs, EV vehicles,  non-Christians, chcks with dicks,  and most of all - Cracker Barrell's logo.   Bless their precious little snowflake hearts.

I can only barely imagine anyone getting so triggered by a change in a restaurant chain's logo that they light up Fox Nooze, Facebook, and other MAGA moron "info sources" with their yeeping. I mean, of all the trivialities to get upset about...

I love it when MAGA eats one of their own. Guess CB is forced to follow a failing business model now to appease MAGA.  I am laughing my ass off. I can't wait to see them start to close stores as that is what is coming next. MAGA loves CB so they destroy it. 😂 

Saw a Cracker Barrel add on TV last night, first CB TV add I've seen in forever.  It featured the NEW logo, no guy, no barrel.  Our local place(s) still have the old sign out front.  Probably only a matter of time until it is replaced.

I would suspect that those TV ads were already created,, bought, and paid for by the time this idiot MAGA crusade surfaced. A matter of contract fulfillment on both sides.

I'm curious: what was the ad's message, as in, why should you patronize CB?

I had not paid close attention by the time I realized the add was on. 

I imagine the cost of taking down the older signs, the ones at the front door and the ones seen from the highway, must be pretty steep. 

Why patronize CB?  Like any place else CB has its loyal patrons who enjoy what they offer.  I like the gift shops!

I was more asking about their core message as espoused in their ad(s). Has it changed, and if so, did the logo change signify it somehow?

Parenthetically, I've always wanted IHOP to insert a space into its logo and create a bunny mascot. Hop over to I HOP!

Cracker Barrel's core message:

"To our Cracker Barrel customers: For our  Old Geezers, cool cat Baby Boomers and rad Gen Xers, we heard you loud and clear. Take a chill pill, cause Uncle Herschel will stay on the front porch.  For all the Gen Zs and Gen Alphas out there, we sus that some delulu up in corporate thought a more lit logo might suggest our food was bussin enough to appeal to you, but that idea proved cringe to our OGs, and since they are our core customers, the mod logo proved to be a Big L.  Anyone else with complaints, talk to the hand!" 

LOL

Did they provide a version in English?

What's so silly about all this is that the faux outrage was the effusion of exactly two social media "influencers," who instead of devoting their lives to something worthwhile, useful, or honorable, have decided to work their passage by dredging up stuff that might trigger MAGAs. The CB nonsense has succeeded beyond their wildest dreams.

I think it was John Oliver who said that the real reason to modify the logo was that the guy next to the barrel doesn't look like he's in very good shape--in fact, he looks ready to collapse.

Maybe orthostatic hypotension from standing so long waiting for a table.

Or hypoglycemia due to same.

Or vasovagal syncope from stress after eating too much.

But I doubt many folks have worried about Uncle Herschel's condition since 1969.
