MAGA, Cracker Barrel

Hillsdale College in Michigan joined the MAGA pile-on over the restaurant chain's rebrand and critics had thoughts.
MAGA world has made its feelings clear. Cracker Barrel debuted a new logo earlier this week, which removed the iconic image of a man leaning on a barrel, a defining part of the restaurant chain’s identity since 1977. The logo leaves only the name of the restaurant chain — marking the first time in 48 years that it only features text.
National Review staff writer Caroline Downey criticised this 'over-the-top outrage,' arguing that the term 'woke' is being overused and losing its meaning, despite acknowledging Cracker Barrel's potentially poor marketing execution.
The southern-style restaurant chain has invoked criticism by some who dislike their new logo and business practices.
