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?

      I first ate avocado in ~2007 when my grandparents from the silent generation brought some back from their visit to Bolivia. So I can say I ate it before it was cool (in Europe).
