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?

Can confirm. Live in big East Coast city. Dunkin had avocado toast today on the menu.

They also had bacon avocado toast and I was damn tempted, but I just got a vinyl record for Christmas this year and didn't want to explode into hipster overdose
