Ur sinful avocado toast will end the world.

 

I've always heard Gen Z, personally. Anyway, I've been travelling to Europe all the time for my entire life, so clearly it's all my fault.

 

as a millenial i can confirm that I have spent my life savings on avocado toast and will not be buying a house

 

as a 1995er it seems that i am on the cusp of millenial and after, since it's been cited as different year ranges by different sources. so uh. i guess i'm Schrödinger's millenial. do i eat avocado toast or not? (I say, when I realized that literally the only edible foods left in my apartment are ramen and sausage. this is because im moving out in 4 days tho)

 

Oh fuck I've been doing it backwards, I've been paying my rent with my life savings when clearly I should have been buying more avocados
What a fool I've been

 

Gen Z and Gen Y get combined into "Digital Natives" too, which is a fun name.

 

i've also heard "generation 'like'" used
though millenial seems to be the one that has stuck around and is the least pejorative

 

Or, as XKCD put it
(not as 100% relevant as i hoped)

 

looking at an online flyer for grocery chain Metro, theyre listed under "avocados & exotic fruits"

...for $2.99 canadian dollars each. Organic are 2 for $5.
my dad gets them from costco, which means theyre cheaper but unripe because theyre all the way from mexico probably

Edit: wait what the donk, here on lake superior we apparently have whacked out prices because uh?? Regular $2.99, organic for basically $2.50?? And packs of 3 romaine hearts are both like 4 or 5 dollars for organic and regular, same price. H e l p

 

Ah that's fair, most of our avocados come from Florida where I'm at.

Edit: currently I can buy them for 88 cents a pop, but they'll go down in the next couple weeks as we get into summer proper.

 

The store I work at sources from Florida and sooometimes Mexico, but yeah, they're.... 80 cents a pop right now and by summer proper we'll have 'em down to 50c or lower.

 

Avos are pretty expensive here (3 for 5 on sale at the local grocery store), but we're pretty far from any avocado-producing places.

Eta: I would die for 50c avocados.

 

Same hat, except swapped with sources. Mexican avocados taste better anyways.

 

Ofc floridian avocados are bigger, so theres that. They also have less fat and taste greener, which i dont really care for. The mexican ones (or hass avocados) are better for guacamole

 

Hass are my favorite

I do sometimes wish I had chosen the CA school over the IL school because of the bounteous fresh produce

 

am also dubiously a millennial, 'cause the generation years get fuzzy, but i can't eat straight avocado because of the texture ):

love it in stuff like guacamole though!
i'm not sure how much they cost off the top of my head, but i kind of consider them a treat and don't buy them often

 

I've never eaten guac except accidentally so my only experience with avocados is somewhat negative

 

Avocados are like, $1 here? Maybe 1.50 I live in mn for reference.

 

I've actually never really tried an avocado so I'm probably like, the worst at being a millenial

 

Its basically butter but green tasting.
