I really don’t get that one… I fucking love avocado toast. I make it at home quite often for my lunch. It costs me less than $3 for the meal which is really quite a bit cheaper than many/most of my other lunches and it’s more healthy than many other meals.
You seen the cost at restaurants? That’s the cost they are talking about. But that’s also true for most restaurant items. Memes are only tangentially based on reality.
I think at some point, someone noticed there was a bit of markup on it when eating at restaurants, associated Gen Y with it, and then the narrative took off from there?
It reminds me of the same finger-wagging that seemed to be aimed at probably Gen X in the 90s over things like lattes. If people at that time and at that age were struggling financially, it was not because of the occasional latte.

The boomers think avocado toast is ridiculous. They think tuna and vegetable Jello monstrosities are food though so 🤷♀️

Nope… I rarely go to restaurants.
