We’ve all heard the stupid meme. “Millennials would have more money if they didn’t order so much avocado toast!”
But when was the first time you can honestly say you saw avocado toast on a menu? I’m a millennial, live in a town of about 500k, and I didn’t see avocado toast at any restaurant until like 2 years ago? Wellll after the meme came out.
Was it a boomer psyop to get millennials hankering for some avocado toast, and then poof! it’s on the menu after critical media saturation of millennial’s obsession with it?
The first person who said probably lived in a city and then it was repeated by people who thought it was funny. I live in a city and avocado toast has been readily accessible for a long time. It’s expense but not disproportionately so.
Yeah, I was seeing it 10+ years ago in Chicago.
