The reference is to cafes, not making it at home. Aussie cafes charge like $20 for avo toast and millennials line up to pay it.


I don't know where you're buying it but BNE CBD cafes charge barely over $10 in most cases that I see.

Still, I find avocado disgusting so I have no desire to eat it. I also own a unit though so I'm not helping whatsoever with the stereotype.


It's intergenerational cultural cringe. First it was Chardonnay socialists, then caffè latte drinkers, now it's war on avocado on toasted bread. But one might ask why avocado prices have soared from five years ago - I buy a bag of six smallish ones from Aldi these days for $6.70.


> millennials line up to pay it.

Sure, in the same way that people are lining up to pay $7 for a beer.


Where can I get that? I pay $13 a pint here in Melbourne.


Just got a schooner of Coopers from a pub near Central in Sydney for $7 at lunch today.


Millenials on average spend the smallest portion of their income on eating out of any generation since WW2 did at the same age, but sure a few overpriced cafes are why people can't afford to buy houses.
