In a plot twist hotter than their biscuits, Cracker Barrel announced on August 2025 that their new logo—mysteriously missing the beloved 'Old Timer' figure—will be quietly yanked after just one week of loud complaints, including a presidential intervention from Donald Trump on Truth Social. The chain, famous for perpetuating rustic Americana vibes, thanked their 70,000 employees for surviving the trauma while insisting their soul is all about 'delicious food and warm welcomes,' not graphic design experiments. Apparently, erasing an icon called 'Old Timer' was too much country hospitality innovation, proving once again we’re all terrible drivers of our own branding.
