RE: Cracker Barrel loses $100M in cap value in one day
Social Media Explodes as Cracker Barrel Replaces Playful Messages on Classic Peg Game with Woke Language And a Misspelled Word


Quote:Cracker Barrel appears determined to alienate every last conservative customer as it doubles down on wokeness. This time, it’s over their classic game.

As TGP readers may know, Cracker Barrel has a legendary peg game on all the restaurant’s tables. Previously, the game trolled players who had trouble in classic Southern style: “Leave only one—you’re a genius. Leave two, and you’re purty smart. Leave three, and you’re just plain dumb. Leave four or mor’n, and you’re just plain eg-no-ra-moose.”

Now, the game has been altered so as not to hurt the feelings of any snowflake. Now, Fox News reveals the message reads as follows when a player keeps stumbling:

“Don’t be embarassed, try again!”

In addition to the new PC language, people in the company apparently failed English in grade school. How embarrassing (this is the correct spelling).

A Cracker Barrel spokesperson, though, told Country Living that nothing has really changed despite the woke message.

“The peg game is still the same peg game our guests have known and loved for years, and some may look visually different now, but the rules and fun remain completely unchanged,” the spokesperson said.

Social media users erupted in anger and amusement upon learning about Cracker Barrel’s latest stupid decision. They also noticed the misspelled word.















As The Gateway Pundit reported, Cracker Barrel’s woke CEO Julie Felss Masino sparked a social media uproar after making an infuriating change to an iconic part of the restaurant chain.

Last Tuesday, the company announced that it was replacing its 47-year-old logo as part of an attempted $700 million rebrand. The old logo shows the restaurant name next to a man sitting on a chair and leaning on a barrel.

Now, the only thing left is the name. No more man and barrel.

No doubt - probably most of the chains too. A reheated entrée at $10.99 wasn't noticeable back then so no one cared to look that closely at the food. Take the same entrée, make with lower quality ingredients and sell it for $20.99...people notice and call it out for being crap.

Glad to see Trump has changed his ways and doesn't take credit for everything by himself, lol.

He is a text book, classic case of narcissism; yet he is still better than anything the Dems can muster up. Sad really....

It is a good start but wokeism must die and the only way to do it is at the roots.

Stock price closed at 57.63 - up 3.36 (6.2%). Still a far cry from the stock price on 1/1/2024 but a rebound vs yesterday. Interesting to see how the days unfold and whether the CB is doing a 180 back to the old ways or will continue to push the new rebrand and support for progressive viewpoints.

Scrubbing the woke stuff is chicken sh!t. Either you were faking it then or you're faking it now. Which is it?

Doesn't matter. You have no principles. Strike 2.

$700 million? That's more than half their market cap.

They can spin the story just fine. Fire the CEO, state how she moved them in a direction not aligned with corporate values and go back to the old ways.

People are dumb enough to believe the CEO acted alone with NOOOOOOO board member input....

The entire board was ok with this. Some investors werent, but I'm betting Vanguard and BlackRock were.

However, its bad enough that they may have to fire the ceo. And when the new one comes in, they are going to want their own team. (Which would be good) If they hire from within the company, that would be bad.

Who believes that? Lemonis said today that she is smart, but very young, felt like she needed to make her mark, and got bad advice.

No way she did a $700M makeover alone. That's laughable.

I don't think that will work. There are some stupid people in the world that might believe what you just said but I think most people aren't stupid
