foodora, the popular on-demand food delivery service, recently partnered with quick-serve restaurant Burgers n' Fries Forever to launch the limited-time-only OK BOOMER Burger.
'OK Boomer' has become a popular phrase to poke fun at the older generation for Millennials and Gen Zs alike and the new food item targets everything the older generation hates included avocado, chili-infused oil, pink mayo slaw, and feta cheese. These toppings playfully take-on many Millenial and Gen Z stereotypes like loving pink, spending too much on avocado toast, and a love of spice and salt.
The OK BOOMER Burger is available exclusively through the foodora app and uses a pop culture-infused, tongue-in-cheek marketing campaign to appeal to younger demographics.
