Was this just conservatives? I never saw anyone say anything positive about the changes. Potential problems with some decor they might have, I don't think that reasonably translates to completely scrub it of all personality anyway.

Are there people who would be likely to go to Cracker Barrel out there who didn't know about Cracker Barrel already?
Theres lots of people who have happy memories of being taken places by their parents or grandparents when they were a kid, they remember it fondly because they didnt know any better.
Now the older generation are dying off and the people who went there as kids arent going either, the change to the logo would surely have legitimately annoyed some people because that logo is closely linked to their grandparents or something like that. Now its been forced back into their concious thoughts and they will go for the nostalgia... for a while at least.

Good thing this "controversy" came along, I'd all but forgotten the place exists.

They need these distractions, otherwise they start to actually think. Their leaders can't have that happening.
So it's a good thing CB is changing back

It's perhaps universally hated but for some an unfathomable reason, a very common sentiment among conservatives is that the new logo is too damn woke.

And everybody forgot about the Epstein files and we all lived happily ever after the end.

I'm far left and I thought it was dumb.

A new logo wasn't going to change the fact it's a racist restaurant chain so it's fine by me of they keep the old logo, not like the new logo was going to get me to break my twenty plus year steak of avoiding this place.

"Old cracker put back in logo to appease old crackers."
Putting the Cracker back in Cracker Barrel!

I mean, this was obviously a manufactured distraction. something the conservative media riled up their knuckle dragging viewers to be upset about so they don't have up talk about Epstein files or the fascist takeover of government by the Republican party. They'll find another shiny thing for their base to jerk off to every week if that's what it takes to fill air time to avoid the absolute train wreck shit show that is America right now.

I'm not a conservative, it was either a bad call or a good publicity stunt.

You could almost wrap it around to how corporations fuck everything up but that would be too much for their little brains

the fact it’s a racist restaurant chain
Calling it Cracker Barrel is truth in advertising in that case.

None of them actually care they just want to distract from Epstein.

Put the old man back in, but add another man standing behind him with his hand on the first dude's shoulder. They'll flip their shit even harder.

That's a bummer. I liked the new logo a lot.

This almost feels like a bet, or an experiment, by social media political manipulators. Like, one guy says to another, "I bet I can make Cracker Barrel change their logo back in less than two weeks using nothing more than a social media outage campaign." "Deal."
And then they do it, with some carefully planted posts across many platforms, and some well-placed calls to conservative commentators, calling attention to those posts. They successfully demonstrate their social media manipulating prowess, and ultimately sell their wares for the upcoming election cycle.
Or more than likely a marketing stunt by Cracker Barrel. Announce a new logo to get everyone talking about you. Then backtrack to stay in the news a little longer. Plus now you don't need to spend any money on new logos. Boom you just got tons of free advertisement.

I thought it was dumb, too, but I definitely wasn't upset by it. Conservatives were, for some reason.

Isn't there a single entity with a spine in America?
