When it's in-season it's cheap as any other fruit you can buy that is also in-season. Maybe boomers think avocados are expensive because they think they're always sold at out of season prices?
It was an australian boomer politician complaining about "fashionable" restaurants that would serve open faced avocado sandwiches and made the absolutely unhinged claim that it was decadence like "buying prepared food" that was responsible for millenials not being able to afford housing. There the avocados are imported and apparently meaningfully more expensive than when they're cheap in the US, but it still wasn't even a particularly expensive prepared food as restaurants go, just perceived as foreign and decadent by one brainpoisoned reactionary weirdo.
I'm pretty sure avocados are grown in Australia
Regardless, yeah, it's always the bourgeoisie or petit bourgeois and their defenders whining about avocados. It's very :smuglord: behaviour.
That's funny, the context I always heard was that they were imported and so cost several dollars per avocado instead of like one or less than one, but it literally being a domestic agricultural product makes it even more unhinged.
boomers thibk anything other than white bread and mayonnaise is exotic and therefore expensive.
Hwite bread with MAYO!??? Way too spicy, use lard like mama and papy used to do back in the good old days of 1835
