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?

Avacado toast would only break the bank if you buy your avocados for like $3 per fruit. I can go to local farmer markets outside the orchards where they grow them and buy 10 for just $1.

Even then, that's $1.5-$3 for a single meal, plus your cost of toast. Compared to people in cities everywhere getting $5-10 breakfast sandwiches and then $7 coffees, etc. Or just people spending $4/lb on cheap ground beef (that's the ALDI near me, 80/20) to make hamburger, hamburger helper, etc. Avocado toast isn't expensive by any metric.
