Right Winger Slams New ‘Woke’ Version Of Cracker Barrel Game

The peg game, with its unique directions, has been a way for hungry customers to occupy their time while waiting for their orders since 1960. The directions on the game have now changed and, in the eyes of one conservative, just gotten too nice.

The goal of the game is to whittle down the number of pegs on the board to one through a series of “jumping” pegs, not unlike checkers. Previously, directions on the game explained that people who have only one peg left on the board are geniuses, while people with two pegs left are “pretty smart.” However, if you leave three pegs, the game considers you “dumb,” while anyone who leaves four pegs is an “EG-NO-RA-MOOOSE.”

That was the old game. New peg games have removed the playful insults and instead say, “leave three or more ― no reason to be embarrassed. Try again.”

The new wording was the last straw — or peg? — for Sean Davis, the CEO of The Federalist. He took to X on Wednesday to gripe about the change to anyone who might be looking for a new silly reason to get worked up over something that doesn’t matter in the long run:

Cracker Barrel didn’t just destroy its logo and restaurant vibe.

It also changed the peg game to make dumb people feel better when they do poorly.

HuffPost reached out to Cracker Barrel for comment on Davis’ peg game protest, but no one immediately responded.

So far, it doesn’t look as if Davis’ post will inspire calls for a MAGA boycott like in 2023 against Bud Light over its partnership with transgender TikTok influencer Dylan Mulvaney.

But there were still some people who weren’t thrilled with the change.

But where some saw only sorrow, one brave soul saw something else: An opportunity to make a subtle but dirty joke.
