    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.

      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.

    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

    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.

    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.

      Wait, you mean you weren’t boycotting and crying about the old logo and forcing the company to remove the image of the guy sitting by the barrel? I mean, I’m sure ONE of us leftists was outraged and screaming about it and forcing a good, hard-working American company to change its ways, if it wasn’t you, then who could it have been??

      Well whoever did it, I sure feel “owned” by the right over all this. They sure scored a victory over wokeness on this round 🙄

        TBF, I’ve been boycotting Cracker Barrel for decades. Not because of their positions or anything like that, but because the food is terrible. They’re hands down one of the worst chains there is.

          Kind of like how my boycott of Target was a success, AND i got started much, much sooner than everyone else. (Because they’re overpriced and their selection sucks.)

      Have you seen it? They took everything cracker barrels about out of the fucking sign. I’m not conservative by any means but even I think this is actually a win. The new sign was just sad

        I’m Canadian, so I don’t get this cultural reference either. I see in the new one a barrel, presumably full of crackers 🤷

        Also, why would anyone store crackers in a barrel?

    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.
