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?

As an elder millennial that boomers and X'ers always mistake for an X'er, I had never heard of avocado toast before the meme.

I'm glad I tried it though because I really like it but I'd never order it from anywhere though. Seems odd to pay like $6 - $12 for a single toasted slice of small bread with an avocado spread on it.
