The saga over Cracker Barrel’s logo change rumbles on, with the MAGA movement now creating its own predictable answer to the problem.

“Cracker Barrel is nostalgia for many, especially customers in the South and Midwest who feel ownership and pride over the brand,” Williams told Fortune. “For a brand that hasn’t changed its logo since 1977, even small changes to a symbol so tied to Americana can feel magnified.”
