Cracker Barrel restaurants cave in to enormous public backlash, bring back "Osama Bin Laden" logo

[RobDownSouth]

Cracker Barrell restaurant chain backpedaled today from their plan to update their restaurant logo.

They announced that they would return to using the "old" logo from 2001, which featured now-deceased terrorist Osama Bin Laden slouched against a giant "cracker barrell" and smirking at the American public.

MAGA sheep may never recover from the trauma-inducing text logo.

Thoughts and prayers.

The worst part of the entire situation (and most) is that Twitter and tiktok are somehow continued to be seen as a proper temperature readout of reactions.

Most people don't give a shit.

This episode is another example of American consumers pathetically deriving their identities from corporate branding schemes. This is now apparent in almost all segments of American society, but this example applied to the MAGAts.

It's a chain restaurant, for Christsake, but apparently MAGAts depended on its old corporate brand to reinforce their fragile egos.

So much for the myth of the self-reliant MAGAt.

I knew almost nothing about them until this nonsense. Now that I know their target audience are s who make me want to , I don't see me wanting to eat there.

Hey now!! Their guy is yellow! Now? That’s evil and bad in itself. He’s not sitting like Trump would sit, but who can be that manly!

No one is yellow… unless really sick
No one is white except for main character in “Powder” and they persecuted him
But? Pointing all this is “woke”
God forbid you realize there’s history you don’t know and other .. viewpoints !! Gasp!!

Damn, I was enjoying watching Reichguide freak out about a logo. Lol.

These types of things will continue to keep happening as long as the left thinks flyover country doesn't matter. y/w.

And they will continue to lose elections

Not shocked about this at all.

The left: No one cares and this means nothing.
(Narrator voiceover) In fact, the opposite was true, as they would learn, losing election after election, for years, decades and centuries to come.

This is exactly how hip hop started!

The Cracker Barrel I frequent will not even know anything happened. We are insulated here in the mountains. No one gives a fuck what the flatlanders do.

I get dizzy just looking at a mountain.

Crazy MAGA sheep thinks the Cracker Barrel logo influences elections.

The sheep get loonier every day.

Another rebrand, this time courtesy of RFK Jr.
MAGAts have hated the term "CDC" ever since Covid.
Soooo...time for a brand refresh!

I never understood the whole cracker barrel controversey.

What was wrong with the old logo?
What was wrong with the re-branded logo?
Why is this even such an issue?
Why didn't people make a stink like this when Starbucks, Nike, FedEx, Visa, Amazon, or Heinz changed THEIR logos over the years?

Don't people have better things to care about?

Maybe that's exactly the point; they DO!! So why promote this stupid issue and have people get all worked up about it? So maybe the don't get worked up about more important things they SHOULD be getting worked up about?

It's because they tried to get rid of an old white guy on the logo.

And I have never eaten at or even seen a Cracker Barrel. They are just some theoretical restaurant as far as I know.

Perfect.

Wow, our own overfed inbred nearly dead Idaho couch potato Rightguide was a decade ahead of his time with his manufactured performative outrage shitposts.

Take a bow, Vettebigot, your 15 minutes of fame has finally arrived.

Interesting. Only the first half is relevant.
