      I always think it’s funny how millennials got shit for avocado toast, yet it was my boomer parents who introduced it to me.

        when I was a boy (GenX), avocados were so cheap, they almost gave them away

        my mom complained one time when they were 25c

        one of my friends that grew up in California had a tree in his back yard and he never purchased one until he moved to Washington State in his 20s

        The fact that it became a target for attacking millennials is so crazy. That people took it seriously for a bit is laughable. To this day my wife and I make jokes that it costs a new mortgage to have one.

          My brother worked at an avocado packing plant and he would bring me a BOX of ripe avocados that were too ripe to send to market.

          We had to eat those NOW. All the FREE avocados I can eat. Good times.
