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?
This is me trying to be helpful, it was covered in know your meme pretty well here: https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/avocado-toast
Edit: I don’t think Gurner is a boomer judging by his pic. I can’t find an age on him.
Edit: This page says he was born in 1982, so he’s a gen x, I think. He’s around 41 or 42. https://latestbollyholly.com/tim-gurner-wikipedia-age/
