WASHINGTON, D.C. — As part of his comprehensive overhaul of America's national museums, President Donald Trump ordered the Smithsonian to display an exhibit of the now-defunct Cracker Barrel logo.
Trump vowed that the beloved piece of American history would be immortalized for all time.
"We must never forget this beautiful American logo," Trump said to cheers from his supporters. "With a strong and terrific country gentleman in a rocking chair, leaning on a big, tremendous barrel. Everyone loved it, and the woke Democrats took it away from us. But we're going to bring it back. We're gonna put it in our museum and everyone will love it. The wokes can't stop us. We're gonna put that logo up next to the American flag. It will be incredible."
The new exhibit, in addition to featuring the traditional logo, will include walls covered with American antiques and vintage advertisements centered around a roaring fireplace, hearkening back to the golden age of mid-century America. It will also feature a giant picture of Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Felss Masino for museum guests to throw darts at.
"We're gonna bring them all back into our museum," Trump said. "Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben, Speedee, the McDonald's character with a cheeseburger for a head. They'll all be here."
At publishing time, leftist protestors had gathered to demand a plaque be added to the exhibit telling the story of how the white guy from the Cracker Barrel logo was probably a slave owner.

Make it so!
Please tell me that’s not real.
My thoughts exactly.
What does it have to do with slavery?
The ‘death’ of DEI and Woke is BS.
It is the Babylon bBee. I was fooled initially because the source was X/twitter.
He's a white guy, so he or his ancestors might have owned slaves, therefore the old logo was rayciss.
"At publishing time, leftist protestors had gathered to demand a plaque be added to the exhibit telling the story of how the white guy from the Cracker Barrel logo was probably a slave owner."
In the old days, slave owners kept a large wooden cask, and if a slave didn’t follow the tyrannical orders of their slavemaster, they were placed in the barrel. The slaves called it “The Cracker Barrel.
So, when the franchise began, the founder, whose great great grandparents were slave owners thought it was a good idea to name their chain “Cracker Barrel”. They never thought anyone would catch on or remember it, and they thought it was an inside joke.
Only kidding. I made all that up. But if I didn’t, someone else at DU surely would have.
Heck, that is probably going to show up in ChatGPT:
QUESTION: Where did the brand name “Cracker Barrel” come from?
CHATGPT: Some sources say that the great, great grandparents of the founder were slave-owners, and...
Slowpoke Rodriguez, he pack a gun.
ANYTHING that will sabotage the woke agenda!
A barrel of trans and gay fluids. And a drag queen twerking over your food at every table....suggested advertisement.
Let's be honest though, Cracker Barrel is having trouble because its quality of food has declined dramatically. These days it's small portions of clearly premade garbage being pulled from a can or a freezer. Maybe it always has been and they were just better at hiding it in the past.
They have had trouble with staffing ever since COVID. That made them cut corners on the food. Take away the old fashioned charm of the stores and you got nothing left.
I still eat there around once every 2-3 months, but if they change the decor at my store, I will never go back.
LOL - And the old Aunt Jemima syrup label and the Uncle Ben’s rice label…?
