        Remember when basic diner meals didn't cost 2x-4x times what you make in an hour at minimum wage?

      there was some article a number of years back by some douchey mayo millennial who had like ten investment properties smugly blaming all his peers for spending all their money on frivolities like avocado toast instead of working hard and smartly buying houses like he did because a $20 avocado toast at a bougie cafe is definitely not a drop in the ocean of the cost of a $1 million average house price

      and youll be stunned to learn that his one weird trick for buying these houses in the first place turned out to have been rich parents giving him a bunch of money

      I don't know, but I wouldn't be that surprised if avocado's were viewed as exotic in some way and part of whats being said is "Oh you liberals with your elitist toast".

      Hojnestly though I have no idea it's culinarily indistinguishable from bagels with a schmear idk why it's such a huge thing.
