If I have to choke down another "millennials killed x" article goddamn I swear to god.

This whole op-ed grew from the author's inability to comprehend how extended family could pass up her potato salad.

Hey Sandy, maybe millennials didn't kill mayo. Maybe your grandkids just don't like your shitty cooking.

I'm sorry. I don't think I've bothered to read one before. The subtitle about identity condiments seemed particularly stupid and then the article turned out to be a pretty sad portrait of this woman. That's more or less why I posted it.

No no, that wasn't a stab at you for posting. That was a reaction to all the boomers in general who feel it necessary to blame millennials for not liking the things that Made America Great. Like Hooters and Applebee's. I agree with your take on the article. I hope one day I'm in a position to just write an op-ed for an honest-to-god newspaper every time my grandkids pass up my famous matzoh ball soup. Or maybe I'll just settle for breathable air when I'm sixty. I'll own killing mayo if Sandy is okay with owning killing the economy, the american dream, and the environment.
