That’s hilarious. But it suggests Millennials are spending too much on avocado toast, not that they were responsible for its creation. I also had no idea such a tasty snack was so polarizing. I can see why some people might not care for it (heck, I don’t eat Olives, and other people love them).
I also hate olives. You’re in good company.
There was a period of time where Millennials got blamed for everything, particularly by conservatives who don’t understand the economic forces holding many of us down. Including the long-term impacts of graduating into the 2008 financial crisis. I think the media has shifted focus to blaming Gen Z for everything now.
I’m luckier than many Millennials. I was able to afford having a kid. No house yet, but it’s a realistic goal for the next 5-10 years. We have some luxuries. I don’t mean to brag, but I could eat avocado toast every day if I wanted. It’s not a bad life.
For me avocado slices have an off-putting texture and insufficient flavor to make it worthwhile. A well made guac solves both of those objections for me.
Avocado seems pretty rare; I have almost never set foot in a restaurant or cafe that offered it. I don’t know where the stereotype came from; it’s not even yummy.
Of course Wiki has an article on it, and the Millennial cliche: Avocado toast - Wikipedia
Some people’s taste buds require more robust flavors. Some of us can taste and appreciate subtley. 
Avocados have been everywhere my whole life, but I grew up in SoCal. My mom move to CA in 1942, and one of the first things she wanted to try was an avocado. She’d heard of them, but had never seen (and definitely never tasted) one. Sadly, she picked the firmest one she could find since that’s how she picked a lot of other fruit. Fortunately, she roomed with my dad’s cousin who was a native Californian and could clue her in.
First avocado I ever had was in the early 1970’s when I was about 20. But I grew up in New York State. – they’re all over the place now. Every grocery store I’ve been in for many years has carried avocados, even the ones in little rural towns. And a lot of restaurants I’ve been in have had them somewhere on the menu; usually as part of sandwiches and/or salads.
That’s not the way to pick most other fruit, either. She must have eaten a lot of unripe fruit. (At least, unless the selection she had to choose from was mostly seriously overripe and getting mushy.)
I don’t know what the Mountain Dew/Mountain View poll was about. I never heard of a food or beverage called Mountain View, and googling didn’t help.
The only Mountain Views I know of are a women’s prison in Gatesville, and towns in Arkansas and West Virginia(and Google found one in California too).
Back in the day, I would plan trips between Northern and Southern California to allow a stop at Hobee’s for a scramble or an omelet (the Hobee’s I was partial to was in Sunnyvale, right off the 101, but there is also one in Mountain View).
ETA: Mountain View, CA is where a tiny little company called Google was founded and is still headquartered. But it can’t boast of anything so high profile as a women’s prison. 
As a kid I thought Mountain Dew was gross because I thought the yellow drink was literally dew collected from grassy mountains.
She picked it more like a vegetable. Like a potato. Y’don’t want a mushy potato.
Went to high school in the early 90s. It was a big campus, but the cafeteria still wasn’t big enough for everyone, there would have to be like 6 lunch periods, so we had fully open lunch. There was a corner store right next to the school and an urbanized area about a half mile up the road. Those of us with cars (or friends who did) went into town and hit up McDonald’s, or a local pizza chain called Jerry’s. Some people just walked home, ate there, and came back. I went into town with the cool kids. (Not that I was really a “cool kid,” but I had unwittingly unlocked a high school cheat code by making friends with upperclassmen early.)
My high school got officially moved to a new location a few miles away two years after I graduated, and the old building was divided and converted into a middle school on one side, and an elementary school on the other. Sadly, it essentially killed that corner store, because kids that young don’t buy cigarettes and junk food. That store had been there for like 50 years.
My kids, who went to high school in the oughts, left high school to get lunch.
High School in the 70’s. We could leave whenever we wanted. Free period or lunch, no one cared.
I went to high school in the 90s. I answered “no” for the poll about being able to leave school for lunch because that’s how it was most of the time. Once in a while, though, the principal would decide to let seniors leave for lunch as a treat.
I don’t remember a time that I wasn’t familiar with avocados, but then I’ve been in New Mexico most of my life. I still find the concept of avocado toast a bit odd and rather off-putting, since I like it best in with strong flavors. Come to think of it, I don’t really like it on its own at all. The flavor is bland and the texture is too squishy.
I voted for Mountain View everything, since I avoid anything having to do with Mountain Dew.
We used to be able to leave campus for lunch as juniors and seniors, but no one really checked, so sophomores with attitude could generally leave. My school didn’t have freshmen until after I’d graduated.
We weren’t allowed to leave school for any reason unless it burned down or something, let alone for lunch.
But what are we to make of the poll? Was it a choice between the soft drink Mountain Dew and any one of several places named Mountain View?
I’m not fond of the soda, but perhaps I might prefer to drink one and quickly get over it rather than make a road trip to someplace that may or may not be pleasant. The prison is the closest to me, so forget it! I’ll happily chug an overly sweet soda and then go on about my business 
My truck is brown, and my SO’s car is gold/tan.
I heartily embrace the complete and utter ambiguity that is the Mountain Dew/Mountain View poll. The correct response to that poll is “yes”
Ditto. A block off campus was the main drag through town, so there was a McD’s, Naugles, Jack In the Box, Cuca’s and assorted other fast food places within quick walking distance. My first job, in fact, was slinging burgers and tacos at Barry’s Better Burgers on the boulevard.
My senior year I had a very weird schedule. One semester I had a missing class in the middle of the day, the second semester I had 2 missing classes. (That would never have flown today, but back then nobody cared much. They would have compressed my schedule but I had to be back at the end of the day for Athletics.) With a couple of hours to kill around lunchtime and pre-Embargo gas prices, I regularly drove to the mountains or the beach for lunch, just because I could.
