It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

(Fancy "Spices") (Unamerican Teens) 
Literally slap a sticker that says “latest fad” on a salt shaker
When I was a teen I too didn't know how to cook. Now that I'm an adult I do so I buy spices because that's how you cook. Funny how that works!
"The Cultural Revolution was so terrible because they attacked intellectuals"
The intellectuals:
A very common Mao W. Also I never saw this correlation really until this comment lmfao
i like how all the shit they mention as being "outpaced" by millenial spending on groceries are not a daily, critical expense.
restaurants, travel, apparel, and even fitness.
fucking A i hope grocery spending outpaces fitness, wtf.
also, the sawdust-for-brains they interview equivocates millennials with teens while characterizing the decision to spend more on groceries as pursuing specialty/high quality ingredients for clout on social media.
which, let's pretend that food prices haven't shot up like crazy in the last 4 years: even if younger-ish people are buying above-average quality ingredients to prepare food at home, it's probably because we watched our genX and boomer elders eat the cheapo sugar-salt capitalist food system trash and contract debilitating metabolic disorders paired with heart disease.
I really thought the 'Millennials splurge on food' reporting was going to be one of those things that they memory hole after everyone on the internet clowns on their ghoulishness for a day or two. But no, they're really running with this one 
this is essentially a rephrasing of the millennial avocado toast panic, no? what was that fixation but some weird association with avocado as an unnecessary and expensive, and therefore luxury, grocery store vegetable. or fruit? idk, i'm not a chemist
what was that fixation but some weird association with avocado as an unnecessary and expensive, and therefore luxury, grocery store vegetable. or fruit?
It was some Australian reactionary who seized on "avocado toast" as some supposedly trendy luxury because avocados were imported, but then it turned out the sandwiches in question were no more expensive than any other prepared sandwich IIRC.
It's a berry with a real big seed.
Yep... and its a s stupid as ever.
Anyone wanna bet what "luxury" food items they're gonna tell us is the reason we don't own a house next? My money's on yogurt.
Oreos, or Ritz crackers. Or those fancy™ versions of the generic brand's food lineup.
I’m not so much splurging on groceries as groceries are rising up to not allow me to take vacations and eat at restaurants, taking up half my paycheck.
Imagine writing “food is the top spending priority for millennials” and thinking, “yeah, this is a good story”.
Exactly this. Rent and groceries have gone up so much nobody can afford anything on top of that.
Sure makes sense, it is splurging after all when half your paycheck goes to cover inflated food.
slowly (quickly??) becoming 1990s post-communist eastern europe. The frontier comes home. Time of monsters
What do these ghouls want? For people to only eat a grain of rice a day? God forbid young people spend a little more money on groceries for a pack of oreos or a box of ice cream to not feel as shit from the depressing reality of living in this capitalist dystopia
Hell yeah kkkookkkies and kkkream!
2 people who are very clearly millennials calling millennials 'they'
The fig leaf of generation discourse momentarily slipping to reveal class struggle 
Nah they boomers in mind and soul
I found a YouTube link in your post. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
WALL WALL WALL
They are shrinking the cookies they are smallering the tomato sauce jars and they are charging double for the butter than comes from cows that eat grass. When do we riot!
