As Cracker Barrel's rebrand goes viral, let's take a moment to appreciate the memes

Cracker Barrel decided to put the old man out to pasture this week with a rebrand of its logo that almost everyone in the universe seems to hate. ๐Ÿ‘‡

Is Cracker Barrel's brand redesign a "war crime"? ๐Ÿ˜ญ

What do you think?

NOTTHEBEE.COM

https://notthebee.com/article/people-ask-if-cracker-barrels-brand-redesign-is-war-crime Not the Bee's super scientific poll, with almost 8,000 submissions, determined that the redesign overseen by the company's white liberal female CEO (with glasses of course) is a turn-off to most customers.

The story went so viral that even Denny's and Steak 'n Shake took the opportunity to lash out:

(Steak 'n Shake's CEO has tried at least seven times to gain control of Cracker Barrel ๐Ÿ˜‚)

The displeasure with the rebrand is so great that it seems to be uniting America again. The official Democratic Party account posted this:

We think the Cracker Barrel rebrand sucks too

In honor of this momentous moment in American restaurant history, we here at Not the Bee felt it was our duty to assemble the best memes that have come out of the viral debate across the media landscape.

Enjoy.

Some people were very upset about all this laughing, however. They would like us to know that we need to be very serious. You will find these people in every comment section.

It's okay to laugh, bro! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Anyway, did you know that the old timer in the Cracker Barrel logo is Uncle Herschel, the real uncle of the restaurant's founder, Dan Evins? He worked for the Martha White Flour Company for three decades and knew a thing or two about the importance of Southern general stores. He became the chain's goodwill ambassador to the public, shaping the restaurants to be a reflection of times past, when Americans could gather to talk, shop, play, and dine.

On its website, Cracker Barrel goes as far to refer to Herschel as the "soul" of the company.

They removed the "soul" from their logo? ๐Ÿ˜ญ

They whitewashed the walls?! Part of the fun of eating there was looking at the various old ads and memorabilia on the walls while playing the peg puzzle game.

Don’t think that was born a female, Jim.

The winner is the logo with “Food Place”.

They destroyed it. There will soon be some prime real estate available where the Cracker Barrels used to be.

You know as asinine as the rebranding was and is, framing it as a real estate scam may be right on the nose there.

Looks like they watched too many episodes of Gordon Ramsay’s “Kitchen Nightmares” where he remodels restaurants

I've got a coupleof non-expiration CB gift cards. I guess I;d better go and redeem them before the chain expires, and to find out if their food looks as appealing under bright light as it did in the kerosene-lamp-lighted simulation.

Myy son and daughter-in-law liked it a lot for their 10 kids when they were on a family trip.

They want to appear chastened, without actually changing anything back. I liked the old CB. It was convenient for breakfast or lunch when we were visiting KY prior to moving here. It wasn’t fine dining, but it was OK food at a reasonable price (with no in-your-face Pride crap).
