  • Cracker Barrel announced it will revert to its original logo and “Old Timer” mascot following widespread conservative backlash and criticism from President Trump over a recent rebrand.
  • The controversy began last week when the Southern food chain introduced a streamlined logo that removed its “Uncle Herschel” mascot, leading some conservatives to claim the company had gone “woke.”
  • President Trump celebrated Cracker Barrel's decision on Truth Social, congratulating the company for changing its logo back.
