Cracker Barrel Caves To Peer Pressure, Tries To Sit At Cool Kids’ Table Again
LEBANON, TN — In what experts are calling “the quickest corporate U-turn since New Coke,” Cracker Barrel has officially dragged Grandpa back onto the porch, reinstating its old logo after a nationwide wedgie from the internet — and one very loud Trump.
The reversal came less than 24 hours after the chain unveiled its new “modernized” branding, which swapped the familiar old man leaning on a barrel for something more streamlined, critics described as “Applebee’s with a side of guilt.”
Within minutes of the launch, Facebook comment sections turned into digital bar fights. By mid-afternoon, Trump had weighed in at a rally, declaring:
“Bring back the old man with the barrel. He’s stronger than Biden. He’s stronger than anyone.”
Analysts now predict shares of the company will continue to rise as long as the brand resists “wokeness” and sticks to its core values of “biscuits, barrels, and rocking chairs.”
