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

[Baztrachian]

This episode is another example of American consumers pathetically deriving their identities from corporate branding schemes.

Not at all unlike how virtue signaling leftards all rushed out to buy upscale Tesla electric vehicles because they were trying to impress everyone with their environmental consciousness.

And then when Elon Musk started supporting conservative causes you dear people started vandalizing Tesla vehicles that mostly belonged to other leftards like yourselves.

With Cracker Barrel the conservative reaction to wokesterizing the brand was we simply stopped going there.

We did not protest Cracker Barrel.
We did not burn Cracker Barrel.
We did not loot Cracker Barrel.
We did not attack people who still went to Cracker Barrel.
We did not divest from anyone who invested in Cracker Barrel.

And despite this forced turn-around on the part of the wokesters who are ruining Cracker Barrel we will not be back.

We also found it telling that CB had a lot of DEI crap on its website and that it suddenly got taken down when people found it.

^so they weren't racist enough for you, in other words..

GOT IT.

That seems to be all you people care about. Fucking hate, hate, hate...oi, oi,oi WHITE POWER.

Geezuz, half the time it seems like I'm on some KKK propaganda website or something.

So have all the dipshits made their way to Cracker barrel to celebrate their win and figured out why they never went there prior to the "end times"

I assume it's like when they ditched BudLite and found out they don't even like real beer.

This paragraph from the CB web site seems to show where the real trouble began…

“This year we even unveiled a brand-new logo! Rather than just showing one person, we wanted to feature lots of people. The idea was to celebrate the diversity of all our guests with a logo that represented our continued passion for pleasing people of all races, colors, and genders.”

Cracker Barrel didn’t stumble because the old man in the logo wasn’t diverse enough, it stumbled because some genius decided people were showing up for a lecture on identity politics instead of biscuits and gravy. Nobody ever drove off the interstate craving a side of corporate pandering. When people want a lecture on diversity, they go to HR. When they want pancakes, they go to a restaurant. The left needs to stop confusing the two.

Yep, you’re still traumatized by a text logo. Stable genius.

When they want bad food and terrible service, they go to Cracker Barrrel...

In your case M.R. should stand for mental retard.

Food isn't bad. Service isn't bad.

Maybe it's your local area or the ones you went to


Bacon needs some work.

You continue to verify your status as a stable genius.

Ford has a text logo. Does it cause you to breakdown in tears?

No, chump, but watching you struggle to compare the Ford logo to a bankrupt PR stunt does make me tear up a little. Mostly from secondhand embarrassment. Ford’s logo sells trucks. Your logo tantrum sells desperation. Spot the difference? Nobody ever bought an F-150 because they felt represented in the logo, but keep bloviating.

Hahahhahhahahhah look at the MAGA people changing things fast, and look how mad some of you are, like we all knew you would be! Your ilk just keeps losing, got to be hard on your mental health, to be on the loser side daily.

What reality are you living in? Lol.

You’re so embarrassed by your tantrum about a text logo that you’re trying to pretend I’m the traumatized one.

Mindless MAGA sheep are hilarious. What text logo are you crying over next, stable genius? I guess you have to wait for your MAGA shepherds to tell you.

Projection is coin-of-the-realm in MAGAt sanctuaries.

Hahaha!

Show me where I cried over anything, you stunted dunce.

You whining like a petulant man-baby (imitating Donnie):

Cracker Barrel didn’t lecture anyone about anything. They updated their logo to an all-text version and the MAGA sheep had a breakdown.

In your case M.R. should stand for mental retard.

Have the MAGA shepherds told you what to be upset about next?

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.

That's almost as funny as the truth, that the guy in the old logo (which dates back forty or fifty years) was "Uncle Herschel"!

 

[DeluxAuto]

They just announced that they have cancelled plans for all remodels

They got publicity, riled up their racist white customers base and then gave them a "win", and now they aren’t even on the hook for the much needed brand refresh.

Cracker Barrel will continue its slow slide into obscurity along with the MAGAts.

Good for them…

The question would be, did any of their moves increase their profitability?

Better question - did 47's comments make any difference to that?
