And everybody forgot about the Epstein files and we all lived happily ever after the end.
I didn’t give a shit when they changed it, and I still don’t.
❄️❄️❄️ brr, it’s cold in here.
Now this place sucks even more than it did before! God damn this whole thing is stupid.
I wish these people cared as much about the president being a pedophile as they do about this mid-ass restaurant changing its logo.
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.
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
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.
Now this place sucks even more than it did before! God damn this whole thing is stupid.
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
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.
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?
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.
The stock price sure seems to think so. Reality may be different, but the shareholders are happy.
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.
Good thing this “controversy” came along, I’d all but forgotten the place exists.
They should increase the cost of of all of their products to cover the increased cost to print their existing logo. There’s no way the newer one wasn’t cheaper lol
I guess it’s easy to win a culture war where you’re the only belligerent
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.
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.
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.
Republicans are sensitive snowflakes
I said it in the last thread and I’ll say it again here: I do not give a single flying fuck about any political motivation behind the changing nor changing back of the Cracker Barrel logo, either real or simply perceived, but their new logo was objectively terrible. It was so bland and unmemorable that whoever designed it should have their Macbook confiscated and be catapulted into the ocean. That is, the both of them. But preferably one each into different oceans. I don’t know how much that braindead rebrand cost them in consultancy fees but I hope they can ask for a refund.
bland and unmemorable
This is why it was great. It perfectly encapsulated both their food and store. It was an ideal logo for them.
