(170 posts)it turns out they just prefer paper towels:
The Post points to a survey conducted by Mintel (the same company that discovered millennials find cereal too much work to eat) from last month, which highlights that only 56% of shoppers said that they bought napkins in the past six months.
However, 86% surveyed said they had purchased paper towels.

(34,977 posts)Fascism is xenophobia, it's organized racism, sexism, bigotry, hyper-nationalism, warmongering, etc.
Another part of fascism is creating this perception that the youth are lacking focus and direction, that they are a destructive force (But this destruction can be refocused into destroying the 'other'), and it's often the fault of their parents.
It's kind of why the Nazis had the Hitler Youth, the Nazis and Hitler had to pick up some of the perceived laxity of the youth in Germany and provide the discipline and connection that they accused the country's parents of failing to deliver.
There's nothing wrong with getting a chuckle out of this fear, but it's time to consider just how chilling this really can be. So let's keep highlighting it, not agreeing with it just because it sounds edgy, and calling it out.

Things change.

(45,261 posts)But it's actually a conspiracy amongst young people who want to destroy the world and kill jobs out of spite.

(20,044 posts)Millenials aren't killing anything. These businesses just aren't offering what the millenial market wants.

(2,810 posts)These companies are just failing to appeal to millennials.
Millennials also have less buying power than their parents did at their age. Many can't afford to golf or have new motorcycles.
