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

So it's a good thing CB is changing back
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.

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.
I'm not a conservative, it was either a bad call or a good publicity stunt.
-
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.
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'm far left and I thought it was dumb.
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?

Cracker Barrel is on team TACO. I'm bigly surprised...

No one even mentions the historical reference to the term "cracker" in America.

What happened to McDonald’s? Apart from maybe a slight font change, it’s the exact same thing from 70 years ago.
Also, Burger King is an example of ditching a trendy look and going back to an older, more timeless logo.
They're referring to changes like this:

Goddamnit stop teaching conservative snowflakes that their annoying, incessant whining works sometimes!
I mean, its cracker barrel. That's their entire customer base.

wrote last edited by [email protected]I think I've eaten at a cracker barrel twice, both times were on a roadtrip and it was the most established place off an interstate exit, so purely convenience. I haven't the first clue what they even offer, I just assume it's all chicken fried and covered with gravy.
That there are people out there absolutely losing their mind over the logo change is one of the most confusing things I've ever seen. Who. Fucking. Cares? Goddamn, the group that likes to call everyone else a snowflake, sure is the most infantile people on earth.
That said, I'll avoid cracker barrel from here on. I really don't want to be near the sort of people who frequent that establishment. Kudos to them for so proudly self-identifying...

All I know about Cracker Barrel is the company's history of racism, like this from 2004:
More than 40 plaintiffs in 16 states alleged black people were denied service, assigned to segregated seating, subjected to racial slurs and served food taken from the trash. Also, about a dozen employees complained that blacks were segregated from white workers and generally received “back of the house” assignments such as cook and dishwasher.
If I'd given it any thought, I might have assumed the company's shittiness was in the past, but this right-wing uproar over re-designed branding, with the frickin' President of the United States demanding they switch back to the old logo, and the company's quick acquiescence, convinces me Cracker Barrel is a restaurant for fascists.
