We’ve all heard the stupid meme. “Millennials would have more money if they didn’t order so much avocado toast!”
But when was the first time you can honestly say you saw avocado toast on a menu? I’m a millennial, live in a town of about 500k, and I didn’t see avocado toast at any restaurant until like 2 years ago? Wellll after the meme came out.
Was it a boomer psyop to get millennials hankering for some avocado toast, and then poof! it’s on the menu after critical media saturation of millennial’s obsession with it?

That's late for Gen X, right on the edge of Millenial. Some people call '77-83 Gen Y or Xennials.

Thanks for explaining it. I tend to forget the dates easily because I have great friends in all generations.

Did you know that only 23% of social media users know how to sharpen a pencil? It’s true, because I pull facts out of my ass.
Anyways, can confirm, I’m 41 years old.

Way to blame it on the boomers Tim, we don’t even get credit for the bad things.
