So, picture this: Cracker Barrel—yes, that Cracker Barrel—decides to refresh its 56-year-old logo. A cleaner look, simpler design, no old guy on a barrel. Innocent enough, right?
Wrong. Within days, conservative influencers, online trolls, and a literal army of bots turned a corporate rebrand into a full-on cultural brawl.
This episode dives deep into how a small design tweak triggered a national outrage that tanked Cracker Barrel’s stock, led to death threats against the CEO, and forced the company to go full U-turn—all because of a logo that was meant to be “easier to read on highway billboards.”
We’ll unpack:

  • The bot-driven backlash that amplified the outrage.

  • How corporate nostalgia and “woke” accusations have become marketing landmines.

  • The eerie parallels to other brand implosions like Bud Light and Target.

  • And the million-dollar question: Can a brand built on biscuits and rocking chairs survive the internet?

If you’ve ever wondered how fast the digital mob can rewrite a company’s future—or how marketers can avoid being next—this is your episode.
If you ever want to buy or sell a property anywhere in the world, our team would be honored to help get you to your next destination.
Until next time, stay curious, stay hungry, and as always… stay ALL IN!
