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?
It’s such a weird meme because it’s not even that expensive.
They have gotten more expensive in the last couple decades. It’s a pretty famed data set for aspiring data scientists. https://www.kaggle.com/datasets/neuromusic/avocado-prices
I think the prices skyrocketed when keto diets were the fad. It’s pretty strange for avocados to be as expensive as they are when it’s been a staple in south/central American countries.
