Millennials are, according to Business Insider earlier this month, “Killing Chains Like Buffalo Wild Wings and Applebee’s.” This isn’t the first thing that we’ve killed and/or destroyed by stubbornly refusing to spend money on it. Last year millennials got accused of wiping out everything from mass-market beers like Budweiser and Coors to the diamond industry to bar soap.
And, on behalf of all millennials, I can only say: You’re welcome.
Because these institutions we’re obliterating are awful.

The surface of a bar of soap is ablative. Not so with a bottle of wash, much oess w7th a hand or cloth initially loaded with the stuff.
I'm continually amazed at the number of twenty-somethings I run into, who are still living with their parents. I'm not talking about kids that stay home while earning a college degree. I'm talking about blue collar kids who aren't pursuing higher education.
It's a real crisis, in my opinion. Youngsters that age should be well on their way to building their careers and families. I'm sure that many will snap out of it and get their lives on track, but many won't, which bodes ill for the children they bring into the world.
I don’t like plain avocado, but I love guacamole.
“That does describe American beers dead on.”
As we say in Canada: “(Many) American beers are like sex in a canoe.”
I’ll leave it to you to figure out why.
I’m helping to kill Budweiser, too, and I’m Gen X. Craft beer is simply better.
I wish you lived by me. I'd take all those nasty avocados off your hands.
My wife loves their pickle slices, and just discovered their relish. She made tuna salad with some the other day, and it was delicious.
Holly Golightly most affected.
But when we showed up they told us they wouldn't be putting the debate on any of the TV's.
No more BWW for me.
So even if you like real beer there aren't that many good selections in some restaurants.
I looked for a gathering of Caddys.
Same here, in a previous job, the millennials I worked with ate nothing but junk food, non stop. Their work areas looked like the junk food section of Walmart.
They’re (ahem) “...close to water”?
(Which is not that far off the mark, unfortunately.)
outrageously priced little plops of unrecognizable food...
they think they're cool because they eat Indian and thai food...
pot roast and real mashed potatoes with a rich and favorable home made gravy?....not a chance...
yeah, but those cute little aluminum bottles of Coors light are fantastic....I love em...
we didn't have much soda either...except ginger ale when you were sick or a special picnic that our church choir put on...
these young people have more disposable money to waste....
let hard times come and see how many avocadoes and latte's and thai noodles they're going to be able to afford...
they'll learn how to make banana bread and pot roast pretty dang quick...and potatoes...nice cheap wonderful and healthy potatoes.
Drank at Applebees a bunch of times ate there twice.
First time i pulled a twelve inch hair out of my mouth after biting into a quesadilla.
Second time being served a steak so mushy and rotten old it must of been a leftover from the 70’s.
UGH
A craphole apartment her in the boston area costs like 1800 a month.
light bills, food, gas, oil are outrageous as is car insurance etc....
Not cheap just to move out anymore
I find them revolting and disgusting.
Hope all is well at least once you clean that bilge out of your kitchen.
After being out of it and kind of sick all winter I did some outdoor work (trimming high-up tree branches) today. Kind of hazardous for an old man but didn't hurt myself. Subsequently, however, I started the lawn mower (pull rope) and nearly broke my hand. Ice and naproxen sodium.
Bar soap is disgusting, I agree. Why would anyone want to use soap other people washed with?
