You’d be hard-pressed to have missed the furore over the last couple days after The Australian columnist Bernard Salt said that young people couldn’t afford a house because they were buying too many smashed avo brunches.
In a hand-wringing column about the ‘youth of today’, Salt proclaimed to have seen members of ~the yewth~ shell out $22 for a smashed avo on toast when that money *could* be going towards a house deposit.
Obviously, there is only one way out of this mess: extremely topical novelty hats.
Retailing at zero dollars because it doesn’t exist yet, this ‘Make Smashed Avocado Affordable Again‘ is the brain fart of Sydney designer Drew Kilpatrick.
“I could’ve put this money towards a deposit on a house, but instead I spent it on these novelty hats,” he told PEDESTRIAN.TV. “And a smashed avo on toast. Obvs.”
Someone please Kickstart this before the hot takes are dried up.
Luckily, it looks like we have until the weekend! The Australian promised earlier today that Salt’s full response to the “avocado furore” will be in The Weekend Australian Magazine this Saturday.
Ugh.
UPDATE: You can now cover up that filthy millennial head of yours with the cap by ordering one from here, nice one Drew.
