6 Most Ridiculous Food Trends That Actually Became A Thing

Avocado Toast – The $20 Breakfast That Broke Millennials

When did smashed avocado on toast become a status symbol? Somehow, a dish that costs about $2 to make at home became a $20 café staple and the symbol of millennial financial irresponsibility. The trend got so out of hand that a 2017 US study found that over 52% of places serving brunch had it on their menu. At its peak, an Australian millionaire even blamed millennials’ lack of savings on their avocado toast addiction. The hype has died down – but avocado toast still costs more than it should for what is literally just avocado on bread.
