"Old cracker put back in logo to appease old crackers."
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.
They will always find another bag of Rage Heroin somewhere. Fox can always manufacture more.
They are the winners of a game YOU don't want to play. And they don't give a shit about you.
You went from "I don't" to "no one wants" in a most logically crazy way.
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.

I see conspiracy theories everywhere
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.
McDonald’s and taco bells used to look so cool, now everything is corporate and bland and sterile. Chain Restaurants all look the same now
Bland logo? Not okay. Bland food? Totally fine.
it's been a spell since I've been to the US but the only thing I remember about Cracker Barrel is the triangle/golf tee game they had at the tables. The food? I don't remember anything about the food or what I even ate. but that game? I was all over it.
I actually preferred Bob Evans breakfasts. I remember as a kid whenever my family visited the states I would insist we go to Bob Evans for breakfast.

I'm sorry, but I've never seen an opinion be wrong before.
After a bunch of free advertising, what a shocker!
Are there people who would be likely to go to Cracker Barrel out there who didn't know about Cracker Barrel already?
The stock price sure seems to think so. Reality may be different, but the shareholders are happy.
Conservatives are fucking dumb
EDIT: this stinks of Fox News outrage. Goes to show how their viewer are so easily led.
I have moments where I think I’m surprised that something stupid matters to people, then I remember how stupid some people are. Thank goodness conservatives are such active participants in the things that matter most
how stupid
There's that, and there is also a massive ecosystem of griftfluencers endlessly manufacturing outrage and pumping it straight into millions of anger addicts, every hour of every day, from Fox News at the top, all the way down to Uncle Jeff on Facebook. The need to get high short-circuits intelligence every time.
Imagine caring that much about a corporate logo. Weirdos.
I didn't give a shit when they changed it, and I still don't.
Now this place sucks even more than it did before! God damn this whole thing is stupid.
I guess it’s easy to win a culture war where you’re the only belligerent
Now this place sucks even more than it did before! God damn this whole thing is stupid.
MAGAts can be mighty proud they "goterdun".
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.
