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?

    I think there is a bias here we need to be aware of. If you saw it before the meme, you may have just disregarded it and moved on with your life. If you saw it after the meme, you would make a mental note of it.
