When I think of fixtures, I think of Cracker Barrel, too! Because I spent about 2.5 days staring at my bathroom fixtures expelling demonic essences from my bowels after contracting food born illness from a meal I ate there.

What kind of food do they have? Other than barrels full of crackers

[–] marduk@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 2 months ago

Southern comfort foods such as the Chicken-fried Steak

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

It's like decent cafeteria food.

Looks like American/Southern food: https://www.crackerbarrel.com/menu

The one time I went like a decade or two ago they had barrels full of candy in their gift shops though. So at least there are barrels.

This is like, the first time I agree with the Right on something.

Not that it's woke, but that the rebrand is terrible.

"Anything that I don't like is woke" word has lost meaning.

The new one makes the size of the logo versus the text look like nothing but wasted space. Hell, versus the text portion, it looks like MORE extra space is used than the old logo, only with zero charm or familiarity to show for it.

If they wanted to re-brand as a truck-stop, merge with Love's, don't just rip-off their color-scheme minus the Heart.

Oh is that what they're calling giving a wristy these days?

During lockdown my team was "mandatory local support" so we got take out lunch paid for 2 days a week day. Friday was cracker barrel day since it was close and filled us up enough for an "average Friday workload". Mainly lazy days not wanting to get out of chairs due to "CB gut". Cracker barrel will forever be "cinder block gut" to me now.

But ehh, another dumb rebranding freakout that doesnt matter. You are still buying slop to go in your belly.

Edit: Cracker Barrel was my shit when my family would do road trips. On one we drove past the state capital and my dad said "hey look at it!". There was a cracker barrel roadsign on the highway and I screamed out "let's get cracker barrel!"

This is such a stupid "controversy." I highly doubt that a company that has built itself on being old style southern has gone "woke," they just adjusted their logo - like EVERY OTHER corporation in America.

Look at the big Pylon outside of your local shopping center, the one with all the store logos listed on it. Nearly all of them are basically the same - their name inside of a rectangle. The only differences are the variables like the font, the font color, the background color, borders, drop shadows, etc. And that's it, just the company name in some font, in some color, on a background color. Things like hand-written fonts (Coca-Cola, Ford), odd shapes (Chevrolet), mascots (the Cracker Barrel Geezer), etc., are all out these days.

In fact, Cracker Barrel's new logo goes a little outside the norm with the odd shape.

This is just a corporation doing what corporations do. Why is this any of MAGA's business?

Is it supposed to read like he got banged in the ass for some crackers or am I just fucked in the head?

MCBGA just rolls off the tongue.
