Regarding Avocado Toast
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?

Aussie reporting in. I can't recall the last cafe that I went to that did not have avocado on toast, in some form, on the menu.
And the cunt that started the whole stop eating avo on toast if you want to buy a house is also Aussie.
Confirm you can get avo on toast everywhere in Oz. And it's overpriced af, though I haven't been out to cafes since before covid so I'll leave it to others to provide up to date data.
I've paid anywhere from five bucks to get Madge at the corner shop to smear some vaguely avocado looking goop onto burnt white bread, to twenty bucks for gobs of perfectly ripe avo on artisanal sourdough with lemon myrtle dressing, garnished with some kind of deep fried flower and a bit of grass on top to look pretty.
